The Jackson family and everyone working at the guest house were really friendly and welcoming. It was such a treat to have lovely homecooked meals and Sandra took into account all our dietary needs. This is the perfect place to do the Blue Mountain Peak hike, which was stunning. The beds were super comfy!

The views were exceptional. The rustic, country feel was everything.

The view was amazing but that’s not the best part. The family is really nice and will take care of you very well and are nice company!

Family run stay as close as it gets to the beginning of the trail

Excellent location to get on to the Blue Mountain Peak. We stayed in the newly built Jay's Guesthouse 2 in which we had a very nice room and terrace with view of the Blue Mountains. Great Breakfast and Dinner, too. Last but not least, the host Angela and everyone else were extremely nice and made this a very memorable part of our travel to Jamaica.

Perfect location for Blue Montain tracking, friendly staff, excellent organization of transfer+ guide Huge amount of food, Highly recommended🙂

Maybe the kindest people in Jamaica. Miss Jacksons smile and laugh was a special highlight for us. Very authentic experience. The house was nice and clean. The guesthouse arranged a tour to the summit of blue mountain with sunrise and we had a great trip. The food was good and was made of local and traditional Jamaican crops.

Amazing experience! perfectly located near the Blue Mountain trail. Jay did everything he could do to make our stay as comfortable as possible and organised everything so we could hike to the peak! The whole Jackson family were very welcoming with lovely home cooked food and a great room with an excellent shower, perfect for after the hike! Transport transfers were good and easy and can’t forget about the coffee, don’t miss out! highly recommend for Blue Mountain visits!

mr and mrs jackson are incredible hosts. and the dinner was totally delicious 😀 the guide up the peak was fantastic in terms of knowledge, patience and great company. the driver to/from Kingston was great.

The time at Jays was a Wonderful experience, it’s super chilled and the views are some of the best I’ve seen in the mountains. Jay and his family are so accommodating and warm, it’s like being at home. Jays knowledge of the local areas is integral to your experience there, he knows all the best adventures to go on. The coffee he grows and roasts himself is probably the best coffee I’ve ever had too.
