The Hostel

The Hawthorne Hostel is a Victorian house built in 1909. Inside, you'll find that the walls are painted all different colors, there's mosaics on the fireplace in the dining room, and it's all topped off with an ecoroof, a roof covered in soil and plants to make the building more sustainable, on the second floor.

Downstairs is the men's dorm and a coed dorm. The kitchen, dining room and office are on the ground floor with a large porch out front and an enclosed back porch with laundry facilities, lockers and bike rentals. The private rooms are on the third floor, and a room that serves as an extra coed dorm in the summer, and an extra private room in the winter. We're part of Hostelling International, a global non-profit organization that makes sure its hostels follow business and cleanliness standards.

We throw a variety of events for visitors and the community, especially during the summer. We have a community potluck brunch every Sunday, and summer brings weekly Open Mic Nights in our yard, outdoor and 'bike in' movies.
