Hostel If camping isn’t your thing, try our hostel located in our charming historic barn. Modeled after European hostels, there are convenient restroom facilities and a commons room with furnished kitchenette. The three bunkhouse-style rooms and one semi-private room in the lower part of the barn range in size from two single beds up to sixteen bunk beds. This option is perfect whether you are alone or with a group. We have several groups of visitors and families where some people camp and others utilize the hostel. This is a nice way for everyone in the group to have the accommodations they like and still be together on the property. The European hostel atmosphere and the barn, with its original limestone foundation and historic features, such as original grain chutes and wagon scales, make the hostel an unusual and fun place to stay. Restroom and shower facilities are just down the hall (the women's has five showers, six toilets and two sinks). The commons room includes television and kitchenette area with a microwave, coffee pot, toaster, sink, miscellaneous dishes and utensils, and several outlets to use for electric griddles, crock pots and other small appliances. Of course, you can also forget cooking and come to our on-site restaurant and bar. Lunch and dinner are served daily from mid-April until mid-October and Thursday through Sunday the rest of our season. Hostel guests are welcome to use all resort facilities such as the pool, sand volleyball, basketball, and more. There is even a bonfire pit for you to use because we know you'll want to sit outside and enjoy the evening air once you realize that mosquitoes are naturally rare in these parts. You can also enjoy the nightly chorus of coyotes, crickets, frogs and whippoorwills. You'll never believe that there are so many stars. At daybreak, you can play a round of golf at Rivers' Bend—our own 18-hole golf course—or rent a bike, canoe or inner tube to enjoy the property around the resort or in one of the nearby quaint towns.
