We've had really great experiences hosting volunteers. Rather than sharing our perspective, here's a sampling of what volunteers have said about us... "We stayed here for four months and had a fantastic experience! Ryan and Corina are the most wonderful hosts you could imagine. They are working toward an inspiring vision, and their enthusiasm is infectious. They are amazingly energetic, ambitious, knowledgeable, respectful, good communicators, clear in their expectations, and they endeavor to match you up with the right work. They're also playful and love to have fun, whether playing a board game or taking a crew to play ultimate frisbee. We loved going night snorkeling with the group. We could always rely on them for suggestions on local attractions and restaurants. They provided all the vegan food we could ever want, which was perfect for us! The property is amazing with the best location on the island, and there is so much to do including snorkeling, swimming, scuba, biking, jogging, hanging out at the beach, enjoying the stars, becoming acquainted with the local critters, and getting to know the other wonderful volunteers. The work was challenging but we learned a ton! The tasks were so varied and covered lots of different skill sets. We definitely improved our knowledge, skills, and confidence. We hope to see Ryan and Corina again someday! Thank you guys so much!" -D&P "I stayed with Ryan and Corina over the Summer from July to August. It was my first [volunteer travel] experience and I truly could not have asked for a better one. The work is pretty physically demanding, but that makes it all the more rewarding. It is also so cool to see how much you can accomplish. I did everything from cleaning rooms, to doing carpentry work in the cook house, to power washing and painting the roof of the mill. I learned so many new skills and feel so much more competent with power tools. I also realized that in almost every situation, I was stronger than I thought I was... While the work was fun and rewarding, what made the experience so great was the people that were there. Ryan and Corina are so kind and open to everyone. They are happy to teach you new skills and support you in the projects that you are working on. I felt so at home while I was staying with them and think that I am a better person now because of their kindness. I also think that good people attract good people, and the people that they have volunteering with them are some of the kindest, most interesting people I have ever met. I had so much fun exploring St. Croix with everyone and now I have friends for life. I hope that someday I will get to return. If you have the time and the interest... choose this one..." -P

Corina & Ryan are great hosts. They care about your wellbeing and opinion. The property is magical and next to work you have plenty of time to enjoy the island. I felt like a valued member of the FLI community. I highly recommend if you’d like to improve your mechanical skills while being in paradise. It’s definitely a home away from home :)

I am happy to have spent two months on the beautiful property of Corina and Ryan. They are two wonderful and lovely people, who care about the environment, the community and the volunteers themselves. They make you a part of their life, and they are there beyond the working hours. Working hours were always respected and I never had any problems about it. Always available for anything, they made my first experience as a volunteer easier. Thank you for everything and see you soon!

The feather leaf inn is such a beautiful place to visit. No matter where you look, the views are stunning. I helped worked on social media so my tasks were pretty easy compared to others. Corina is the smartest, sweetest and coolest host! She’s truly passionate about her work. I would def recommend!

I had an Amazing time working at the Feather Leaf Inn. The property is absolutely beautiful with stunning views and is very relaxing. There is plenty of work that needs to be done depending on what you get assigned some work can be a bit difficult. There was some times I felt work may have exceeded the 5 hours. You do get done in the early afternoon so you have most of the afternoon and all evening to do whatever you like! All and all with everything that is offered and the amazing people that come along with this experience I highly recommend this opportunity!
