Lameshur Cottage Main House - No hurricane damage! We are ready for guests.

This little house sits upon a hill of which can only be reached by stairs. A smaller studio shares the stairs and didn't hear anything from them...although they may have from us! Four girls stayed here with two sharing the bed. The biggest complaint from the island, not the home, was the mosquitoes and lack of service of which Liz can't control. It would have been an issue anywhere on this side of the island. Liz was the sweetest person, very artsy and the home displays this! Must have a rental car here! The closest beach (wth sand) you can drive to is salt pond bay with a hike down. I suggest bringing your snorkel kit and some water shoes! Try Reem trail

Had a great time using this cottage as a base camp while exploring St. John. Info that may be helpful to future guests:

- This cottage is about 30 min to Coral Bay and about 60 min to Cruz Bay

- Hot tub and TV is not working (due to recent power surge) as of 3/15/18

- No wifi/internet, no cell service for Sprint or TMobile (understandable because of recent hurricanes, just FYI)

The cottage was really well thought out. Liz left us a large new citronella candle and some spray to battle to the mosquitos (not too bad). Plenty of airflow on most days, but be prepared to sweat a bit. Great book, DVD, and CD collection along with a few board games.

The only issue we had was not being told the hot tub was out of order until we arrived on the property. It was a bummer considering that was a primary reason we booked the cottage. Great stay otherwise!

We stayed here for 5 days in Feb and had a lovely time. Liz was a great host and we loved the cabin. There were 4 of us and we all slept comfortably! It is a small but lovely cabin on a quiet area of the island. It will take about 30 mins to drive to Cruz Bay, so keep that in mind, but I found the peace and solitude of the area worth the drive. The cabin has everything you need and I loved hanging out on the porch at night. We really enjoyed our stay and really recommend it!

Liz and Russ are great and so is their property. Probably not for those looking for touristy, but if you are looking to stay at least a couple days and like some isolation and quiet, this is the place. You are close to some of the lesser used trails and beaches that are great. Coral Bay is also a nice community that was just what we were looking for to get away of the hubbub of home.

This is the most peaceful accommodation that you can imagine. It is at the far end of the island so there is very little traffic or noise. Although there is no ocean view, the view of the mountains is so peaceful. The accommodations themselves are excellent. We love the large refrigerator. The bedding is very comfortable. The shower is great. Although its inside you feel like you are outside. The chairs and coolers that are provided make it easy to go to the beach. The cottage is also filled with books, DVD's and CD's. Russ is an excellent host and offers up many ideas on his to enjoy the island.

We went to the Island post hurricane at the beginning of January. Despite doubts we were really happy that we went. The island is as beautiful as ever. There is damage but the people are resilient in recovering. Coral Bay is a little behind Cruz Bay but every day there were crews out cleaning up what ever was left.

I think the best thing about this trip was that there were fewer people than ever Not great for the island but if you"r going to the island you can expect vacant beaches and little traffic.

We were really happy that we went and we would encourage anyone else to enjoy this peaceful time on the island.
