Customer Reviews
Amazing hostel!! Super duper clean (and I mean spotless) + inviting + spacious — perfect for meeting people. Stephanie, the owner, is incredibly kind. Thanks!
I stayed in Private Room 2, and it was clean, quiet, and spacious--simple but with everything I needed and a door to the shared balcony. The shared kitchen and bathrooms were also tidy and organized. I was especially impressed by the kitchen--Stephanie puts a lot of care into keeping it up, and it's much appreciated! The hostel is located just …
Such a great stay. Stephanie has a really special place here and she’s very helpful/knowledgeable about the area. It’s a cute place, very clean, and there are clear instructions everywhere. The mattress was HEAVEN! I stayed here for my visit to White Sands and it was perfect. Will definitely be staying here again if I’m back in this area in …
Such a wonderful escape from the city or low cost place to rest while on an adventure. The hostel has all kinds of little things to bring joy to your stay including information on the local area, sleds to barrow for White Sands, a fire pit and the feeling of coming home. Looking forward to visiting again.
Nestled into a quiet, peaceful place right outside the "bustle" of Cloudcroft. Beautiful drive heading in - lots of wildlife to see. Stephanie was very kind and inviting, offering great info on things to do in the area. The hard work they put into building the hostel shows. Unique, inviting, and has little trail to stretch your legs after a …
Our stay was absolutely magical! This was my first stay at a hostel and I am so thankful to have had such a memorable experience. Stephanie was so helpful with the booking process, to being on site to greet us and to showing us around and even giving us local recommendations. The grounds were perfectly maintained and the rooms were …
This place was fantastic! The rooms and communal spaces were very cute and incredibly clean! Stephanie is absolutely awesome! There were not any other travellers at the hostel, so unfortunately I cannot speak to that experience, but I would recommend this place for atmosphere alone!
Very nice place! The place was very clean and feels more like a house than a regular hotel. Recommend staying if you are in the area on vacation or something! Great location, just a few minutes away from Cloudcroft and around a 30 minute drive from White Sands.
Perfect location for easy access to hiking trails, visiting destination Cloudcroft, AZ on north and White Sands National Park to the south. Highly recommend spending at least a week!! Most importantly host Stephanie is wonderful, accommodates all hours of arrival and keeps the hostel is absolutely immaculate cleanliness.
Nice, cozy hostel in the foothills. Everyone I met here traveling was super nice and I really felt welcome here. When I originally drove in from Albuquerque it was dark and I was really scratching my head where I had ended up, but upon …
