Spectacular winding staircase of teak, walnut, and curly pine, highlighted by stained glass windows and cobalt blue transoms. Heirloom antiques and accessories are displayed throughout the house in a warm and inviting atmosphere. With five bedrooms, three in the main house and two outbuildings, all with private baths. A full and hardy country breakfast is served family style in the antique dining room.

Less than one year post-Ike, these hearty souls have brought their beautiful island back to life. The Coppersmith Inn is in full swing -- immaculate, charming, no evidence of the devastation of that storm. Kudos to Ellen!
