Fjell House

I don’t know why I just thought about this but it was funny to me.

Back in May Gigi and I were in St Croix looking for a place to rent for February and a house called Fjell House came up on the radar.

We stopped by the rental company and they said it would be fine to stop by and look between 12 and 2PM. The house was being cleaned for another guest that would arrive that night.

The house advertised great views and a pet dog that lived there. We thought it would be cool to have a rental dog for the week.

So we showed up about 1PM and this nice local lady greeted us. She was the maid and said feel free to look around. Her daughter was moping the tile floor.

When we were about to step on the floor her daughter yelled at us and broke into a rather racist tirade. We said we would come back but the nice lady insisted we look now and told the mean woman that she would mop the floor.

I wondered to an outdoor shed and a very old black woman was sitting there in the shadows. It startled me.

I asked her about the dog and she said it died yesterday.

We liked the place and went back to the rental agency to tell them we would take it.

The lady we had talked to just hours before told me now that the house had sold last week and it would be available for rental any more.

Why didn’t she tell me this earlier before I went down and met the mean woman, the old scary woman and the dead dog?

Now I see the place is for rent again sans the dog.

Wow that place looks awesome. Are you going to go there or just leave it as the scary place and stay away?

Stayed at the Fjell House in Nov 2005.

First, the House is 10' away from the main house. There were 2 dogs. Both were old, one was burn-scared.
They came and went on their own. The old black lady is the laundry woman. Nice place, but the whole island is really weird.
