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.
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.
