What NOT to bring

  • Pets – one exception is if you have paid for that accommodation for a room in Kroeze Hall

  • Weapons of any kind
    (Including toys)
  • Tobacco products
    (Including E-cigarettes)
  • Anything that would be a fire hazard
    (Candles, candle warmers, incense, halogen lamps, and lava lamps.)

    (Toasters, hot plates, steam cookers, electric skillets)

    (Nails, screws, tape, glue).

  • Outside lofts or bed risers are not permitted. Lofts can be rented through UJ.

    (This slows down our internet significantly.)

Making Jamestown home

To tourists, we’re known as the place with the world’s largest buffalo statue. But locals know the truth: Jamestown is full of restaurants, outdoor activities, and friendly faces.
