5 stars to Shaw’s hiker hostel. I was there with an injury and they made me feel comfortable and rested. Worker’s checked on me and asked how was I doing daily. Breakfast and service was very good. Cost was what I expected for a very busy hostel. I would definitely recommend staying there.

Look I'm 26 years old, names orange Crush, I don't know much, but Poet is a good man, HippieChick is a good woman. Good people. Made a boy from southern ohio feel at home.

I rolled out of the 100 MW with undiagnosed Lyme, and Hippy Chick & Poet made sure I got the medical attention I needed. They also worked with me to double zero, then slack my way down to Caratunk so I didn’t overdo it while my medication kicked in. I’m so grateful for the help & support I received during my stay!
