This has been one of the most surprisingly pleasant stays I have ever been. I wish I could stay longer, but my time was limited. I would invite my friends and family for my next winter trip. Ignore the negative reviews. More

Not impressed-- arranged to stay at the hostel and the owner said he'd be away when we arrived, but would leave a key for us. We arrived after a long day of travel, and there was no key-- took 2.5 hours for a key to show up. Also, despite the website saying that breakfast is included, when we arrived, the... More

The High Peaks Hostel is amazing and it's all because of the owners. This was my first experience staying at a hostel and it was so great it almost makes me want to open my own hostel somewhere closer to home in Michigan.

I've stayed here before and will continue to do so. For $30, you get a clean bunk, sheet, pillow, blanket & shower. The commons area has plenty of books and magazines, a piano and guitar. In the morning I've had some tea with the owners and offered some breakfast (John is a great bread baker). This hostel is well-maintained and... More
