About Our Hostel
Our private hostel accommodation includes log cabins, bunkhouses (private quarters in small, multi-user lodges with a private, outdoor entrance), and bedrooms in the main lodge. Guests staying in this type of accommodation enjoy the privacy of their own sleeping quarters but share bathroom, kitchen, and lounge facilities with others staying at the hostel. While our main lodge rooms and bunkhouses are open year-round, the log cabins in this category (the Deer cabin, the Beaver cabin, and Pine cabin) are closed from the end of October to May 1st.
Our dorm is excellent for solo travellers, backpackers, folks on a tight budget, or for groups of 6-8 people. Housed in a large post-and-beam room with high ceilings, hosting up to 8 people in single beds. Normally the dorm is shared with other guests but you are welcome to book the entire room for your group if you prefer. Guests staying in the backpackers’ dorm share bathroom, kitchen, and lounge facilities with others staying at the hostel.
