This eccentric, social little spot attracts return visitors and long-term guests by the boatload. The two comfy common rooms, shared kitchen, poolside barbecue area and library lend Lynn's a true home-away-from-home feel, as do the hearty, host-prepared dinners (ST20, available on request). Discounted rental car rates are available for guests; if driving isn't your thing, island tours and hiking expeditions can be booked here.
