Accommodations: The Hostel includes five dormitory rooms with a total of 34 beds (bunks).  There are male, female, and mixed dorms (sometimes), as well as two private rooms.

History: HI-USA is a non-profit membership organization founded in 1934 to promote international understanding by educational travel through an operating network of more than 6,000 hostels in 70 countries.

The mission of HI-USA is "To help all people, especially young people, gain a greater understanding of the world and its people." Hostels provide a place to sleep, eat, wash up, and a way to meet interesting people. The hostellers provide all their own services, and clean up after themselves. This self-help system allows hostels to be inexpensive, and contributes to the friendly, cooperative spirit of hostelling.   Hostels are simple, safe, overnight accommodations supervised by house parents and located in scenic, cultural, and historic areas.

Hostel dorm rooms have lots of fans, no air-conditioning.

Kitchen is open 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Kitchen has refrigerator, range, microwave, dishes and utensils - there is not an oven. The kitchen is small so there is limited storage space. Dining area is in the garden or under the shelter at picnic tables.
