Loved it here
Jackie was amazing! Even gave me a parallel parking lesson. I will say the shower was a little dirty and parking is very limited, but otherwise very pleasant place!

Staff and place are stellar. Nice cozy spot to rest the night. Will come here again if the opportunity arises. They also have a very friendly bear-dog to socialize with. Solid place. Thank you.

8/10 Very good

1st time staying in a Hostel place. Like the experience of uniqueness of it. The style of the place is like a rustic cabin/lodge. Improvements could be a more parking spaces and an AC unit/system.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Shower on the west side took 5 min to warm up but it is to be expected in an older place.

10/10 Exceptional

I stayed there with my 8 year old son, so he could experience the vibe of a hostel. We had a great time, met cool people, and loved the openness of the property. It was well maintained, very friendly staff, bed was comfortable, but we did have a private room. We will definitely be coming here again. It was the first weekend that the hostel was open, so there were maybe a dozen guests, so it may be different when full, but overall it was a great experience.
