Staff and guests are respectful and everyone keeps to themselves. Rooms are dark enough to get a good night's sleep or a day nap after a long day.

The place is a bit hidden/remote yet it's close enough to get to nearby cities. The staff has a great vibe. John and Sarah are wonderful hosts. Place is not for everyone. One must understand the rural vibe and the quietness. It's a nice hommie place. Although it's shared rooms, one has certain privacy in the bunk beds with the curtains. Plus, if it's a place to just crash, one gets there just to sleep and doesn't even see a person. Lol. I didn't. Clean bathroom, very important. All in all, a "yes" for the option of "would come back".

You get what you pay for. Helpful staff. Cute chickens and kittens outside which is sweet. Washer/dryer out of commission. Privacy curtains on bunk beds were helpful. Quiet guests without drama, noise, or smells. Never a line at the shower/bathroom. Bathroom was pretty clean but be sure to bring shower shoes and toiletries. Building didn’t get too hot on 93 degree days
