  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We stayed in one of the private bedrooms for 1 night. We were supposed to share a bathroom, but we had it to ourselves as we didn't have neighbors on the same floor. Billie was very nice and her family was also friendly.

    Everything was fine for budget accommodation

    Billie makes a pot of coffee every morning for guests. Little Owl Café, a very short walk away, offers breakfast and lunch options. The common area is very cute and cozy. I stayed in the private twin room, which has its own lock.

    Coffee is in the frozen room, consistently smelled burnt so I did not partake. When staff did come to "clean", she did it in her pajamas and just changed out trash, nothing else. She also did it early in the morning when everyone in the room was trying to sleep. Downstairs has a much larger bathroom. Kitchen and dining area are sufficient. Chairs in "living room" were very sunken in and uncomfortable. There is a tv, but one guest kept it on conservative news shows me entire stay and hid and slept with the remote. Lastly, I had some canned drinks by my bed and one or two of them were stolen. Another guest had some of her food stolen out of the shared fridge. Not sure if all this is par for the course for American hostels, but I was not impressed. Would definitely not stay here again.

    Billie’s lived up to our expectations and more! My teenage daughter and I spent one night and loved it. Billie is kind and inviting. The hostel/house feels cozy and filled with history and memories. I was hoping to see the Aurora and managed to see a ribbon of dancing green lights right outside the hostel. There’s a wonderful cafe less than five minutes away. :)

    This was the best hostel that I have ever stayed at. The inside is comfortable and homey and there's running water and hot showers indoors. Indoor plumbing the vibe there was really laid back and nice and the people who were visiting were great people. The staff were awesome. Billy is just a wonderful person. All in all. You can stay at a hostel and sit outside all day before you go back inside your tent or little cabin that has no running water to it. Or you can go to Billy's and have all the amenities of home
