More Useful Information

We open daily at 6 PM for check-in. Reservations are recommended but not required. We anticipate being closed from November 15 to March 15, but consult with the Manager for further details.

We recommend reservations, but they are not mandatory. If there are beds available, you can probably stay here without a reservation, although members get preference over non-members if there are too many people clamoring to get in. If you want to make a reservation, you must either give us a 50% deposit in advance, or alternatively a credit card number to hold your reservation. You will be charged for one night's stay if we do not receive a cancellation by 6PM Eastern Standard Time of the day of arrival. 

This particular hostel is ordinarily CLOSED DURING THE DAY from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, although this closure policy can sometimes be waived by the Manager. While you are waiting for the hostel to open, you can sit on our porch, or you can park at the hostel while you hike or bike. Of course, if you're staying for more than one night, you can leave your stuff inside all day.

Although our prices are very low, we provide you with quite a lot. We have 26 bunkbeds here divided between the male (14 beds) and female (12 beds) dormitory rooms. Also, there are two smaller bedrooms (5 beds in one and 5 in the other) for couples or families who would like more privacy, for a TOTAL OF 36 BEDS.

Non-members as well as members of Hostelling International are welcome to stay here, and we also sell memberships which are good at HI hostels worldwide.

We accept payment by credit card.

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone at any time, in order to ensure the safety and comfort of our guests.
