I liked the feeling of comfort and pleasant company in the evenings. I was especially pleased with the idea of stove heating due to the fireplace at night. It creates a chic atmosphere of something close to the frontier: Pieces of wood crackle in the fireplace, someone is playing a guitar, pine trees are visible from the window, and somewhere in the distance you can hear the howling of coyotes

The only nuance is the kitchen. On the one hand, this is a hostel for people who will travel far from here the next day, however, if they could arrange a modest continental breakfast (so that there would be something other than a mixture for making pancakes and eggs), it would be ideal

Wonderful location, good energy. Btw when I left at 2am to beat the heat, Yogi dog was barking at what sounded like wild animals fighting in the woods! Interesting, although this made me think twice about the idea of camping in a tent outside, I'm glad I booked a room & bed to be inside - vs a tent! : ). But otherwise, I might suggest having mace for anyone outside camping! :) . BTW, that entire house has the best flushing toilets I've ever seen. I wonder who the plumber is : ) nice.

I have no complaints

The room was beautifully decorated in a unique style and very well maintained. The building offered brilliant facilities and communal areas to all staying which gave plenty of opportunities to socialise with other travellers. The location is stunning, located away from the main road, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural setting. The location was still close enough to access many bars, restaurants and experiences within the town in walking distance. To top off the experience the staff were extremely friendly, helpful and went out of their way to welcome guests and enhance their stay. This room related parts of this review apply to a private room with ensuite, however I engaged with guests who had equally positive things to say about the shared rooms.

No negatives.

I felt so welcomed by Jackie and everyone was just so nice to meet during my stay! There was amazing energy, Yogi was a cutie, and I was beyond impressed by how tidy the whole place was. So many amenities, practically heavenly!

Not a fan of the Elk head, I felt intimidated instead of welcomed. Not an appealing aesthetic for me. More people might use the common room without it.

The staff and guests made it such a comfortable experience. The atmosphere was very welcoming and relaxing. I stayed in the 8 bunk room with one other traveler so sleeping arrangments was really lowkey. Not sure what it would be like with a full bunk room tho. The staff bbq'd some food for us and welcomed us to some after hour games which was fun. I reccomend to bring your own food and drinks, you are welcome to store it in the fridge. This was a lone trip for myself but i had a great time.

The shower/restroom was a little dirty.

Friendly staff, big common area, and decent rooms.

Most electrical outlets near the beds in the 8-bed dorm would help, but this is a minor critique. Also, many of the guests stayed at the hostel for skiing and boarding. An area to dry off our gear (jackets, pants, gloves, beanies etc.) after a long day on the slopes would improve the already good facilities. Most of us scattered our things throughout the room.

The hostel had a warm, welcoming vibe and was well located about a 10-15 minute walk from the heart of town. Our room was comfortable and we loved the big cosy rooms with open fire to sit by. The staff were exceptional…. friendly and helpful always. Thoroughly recommend this as a place to stay.

I loved the atmosphere, the amazing effort to providing a comfortable stay and of course Yogi! I loved the breakfast setup and the cozy living room fireplace. I can't wait to come back sooner then later!

The fact that the restrooms were downstairs but it worked out well because each time I came downstairs it gave me opportunity to enjoy the amazing view from the front porch.

We liked everything about it. The place was beautiful and well kept. The staff and guests were very friendly. The kitchen, the game room, the hot tub, the short distance from the marina. Everything.

That we didn't have time to stay longer.

The common areas were great with soft couches and blankets- good for socializing and meeting new people. There was a hottub but we were so busy we didn't get to use it (next time!). The included breakfast was a great added on treat.

The dorm bunk beds were a little uncomfortable but not terrible and to be expected in a hostel situation
