The Bungalow (dinner included)

Lost River Hostel is NOT your average place. :-) Somewhere between a resort and camping, Lost River Hostel is a nonprofit arts and cultural center located on a 29 acre hillside in West Baden Springs. With the farmhouse on a hillside and the guesthouse in the forest, the hostel is a hub of conversation and inspiration. A lovingly prepared communal dinner and gratitude circle is included with each night's stay. The space Lost River Hostel is a nonprofit organization with the mission statement: "To provide a sandbox for goals and growth through nature and human connection". In addition to the nests, there are traditional bathroom facilities, a communal kitchen, and common space for games and conversation located in our farmhouse about 150 yards down the path. There are fire pits at both the farmhouse and elsewhere in the forest. Dinner is complimentary each evening and is held just after our gratitude circle, and we are also accustomed to catering to those with dietary restrictions. On the rest of the 29 acre property there is a labyrinth, swimming hole, gardens, chickens, trails, a library, and access to The Lost River itself. We hope to see you soon! Guest access Your space is in a round house in the middle of the forest, and perfect for groups or families. We find that most people tend to spend the majority of their non-sleeping time walking the grounds or in the main farmhouse with common rooms and an art space. There are often games, live music, cooking experiments, and other general shenanigans. The nearby parks, national forests, tourist town, and ski slopes provide MANY things to do while you're here! Just a few more things - a large organic garden / A large kitchen / Dozens of old growth hardwood trees / Mature fruit trees / A delightful indoor common area / An art/sun room / A breathtaking view / A chicken coop (with chickens!
