    The bed and bedding in our room was surprisingly very comfortable! Everyone we met was very friendly and gave us great advice on things to do during our stay and beyond. Walking distance to the Half King Fisher Trail.

    We knew right from the start that it is a commune with other guests but we felt safe with kids there as well

    If you love nature, you'll definitely appreciate this bohemian like hostel in nature. They organise frequent open mike nights and they have a beautiful bar where locals come too. I loved the bonfire and the kayaktrip we did.
