A private one-bedroom cottage

This is a very private 1-bedroom cottage in Leeds on the outskirts of the town of Santa Cruz – a busy market town in the foothills of Jamaica’s Santa Cruz Mountains. It is only 20 miles from Treasure Beach and 75 minutes from the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay and a 10-minute taxi ride into town. The cottage is popular with European and local tourists and is ideal for adventurous singles and couples.

Welcoming hosts

The cottage comes with a well-equipped kitchen, air conditioning, flat-screen TV, a hot tub, beautiful gardens, and other amenities that in total offer the budget tourist an attractive combination of value, comfort, and convenience. Owners, Izette and Yvette, Powell who live in the nearby main house, have been hosting travelers for more than 15 years and offer homey, comfortable accommodations for tourists with a desire to toke, meet the local community, imbibe a little local culture and enjoy the solitude of the lamaican countryside

Lots of ganja in the neighborhood

Guests are free to smoke anywhere except in the rooms.  There are several growers in the area and ganja is readily available; guests with a yen to sample some locally grown weed need do no more that talk to one of the hosts. Canfused Medical Dispensary in Mandeville and Jamaica Leaf sacramental farms in Nain are both a short drive away.

Convenient to many activities and tours

Powell’s Cottage is close to popular attractions such as Bubbling Spring Mineral Bath, YS Falls, Appleton Rum Estate, Black Rive Safari, Pelican Bar, Little Ochie, Lover’s Leap and Parrotee Pond Mangroves. Crane Beach in Black River, the closest beach is 30 minutes away, but many guests prefer Bluefields Beach (about an hour away) because of the scenery and the ganja activities in that area.  Among the many nearby restaurants are Jo Po Pizza, Jabba’s Fish Village, Ikaana’s, Cynthia’s, Rocky and Thompson.
