Deer Isle Hostel and Ecolodge is on a bridge-accessed island. It is part of an owner-built homestead featuring a seventeenth-century style house, forest huts and single rooms. We offer communal dinner every Saturday in June through September. Dinner is $20pp (kids under 10 eat free). Let us know if you want to sign up when you make your reservation! The space A small room with a single bed for one person. It’s located in a small cottage that contains the hostel guest kitchen and another private single room. This building has a fair amount of activity and you'll definitely hear other people. That said, it's central location means more interaction with other guests. A composting toilet restroom with electric light is only 40 ft away. No pets are allowed in this room. Guest access Showers, composting toilet restrooms, fire pit and kitchen are all communal. The hostel is beside a seaside nature preserve with trails. During your stay One of our hosts or the owner, Dennis, are usually working on the grounds. We're always excited to meet new people and are usually available in the morning and evenings to help guests, give recommendations or short property tours, and get to know you. We also have three dogs which love to greet you, go on walks, and keep you company. Check in is from 4pm - 9pm; please make every attempt to arrive during those hours. If you're interested in meeting other travelers and hanging out around the fire or dinner table, then this hostel is the perfect place for you. At the same time, if you're looking for some private, quiet time in a beautiful forest getaway, our hostel is big enough that there's always somewhere to withdraw to for a little forest bathing.
