Plug in the word "tarn" at the search mechanism at the bottom---you'll find quite a few entries. Here is one review by Mary B:


"Cinnamon Tarn is one of our favorite villas on St John. Have stayed there twice--once in 1997 and again last year. Phenomenal house for a honeymoon--absolute privacy all around. Great for 2 couples as the bedrooms are at either end of the house--at least 50 ft from end to end and each has that magnificent shower room that is located in the
Tarn" aboout 15' diameter by 20 ft tall with bench to sit on and separate from but within the actual bathroom area.
Each bedroom has a king bed that is raised so you can see the view right from the bed. Both bedrooms have semi circular terraces off them, and the main terrace is about 40 ft long and contains the large jacuzzi that you can float as well as sit in. There is a large screened gallery overlooking this terrace in the event you dont want to sit outside. Of course, the views IMHO are the most dynamic on the island.
The upstairs bedrrom/library would really only sleep one person and there is no bath up there. There is a magnificent patio or "sky deck" up there with loungers--great for seeing the sunsetcolors in the sky( no actaul sunsets in the
spring) Nicely decorated, very comfortable, not really a house to have small children sleeping upstairs. Easy access off Centerline Road paved driveway with plenty of parking and you can walk
down to the Sugar Mill ruins where full moon parties( picnics ) are becoming a ritual on St John. You can also take your jeep down the dirt road( using the term liberally) AKA the Ho Chi Min Trail as it has become affectionally known right down to Cinnamon Bay without the hassel of going through town.
Very Breezy, evn in June we were hard pressed to find a mosquito to bite us.
Great value for the $. E mail if you have more ??? "

Hi Jan, John and I stayed there last June and we are rerenting this year. Iowaguy pulled up a pretty comprehensive review, but if you have any specific questions about the house, I'd be happy to help you out.
It's like looking in your soup and finding a whole different alphabet.
