Looking somewhat like a boarded-up saloon from the outside, this private hostel is a good choice for those who value low rates above all. The accommodations are spartan, cheaply furnished dorm style with bunk beds, cots and little else. There's an inviting common room though, jammed with shelves of board games and mystery novels. If you like to rough it, stay here. On the grounds are an outdoor jacuzzi, tennis court, and heated pool.
Accommodations are a bit more civilized now.
If you book three to five nights consecutively, the rate drops considerably. Outdoor pool and swimming hole nearby. Imagine, if you will, Vermont back in the days when skiing was a mode of transportation rather than a sport, when Samuel de Champlain was first tramping through the woods marking territories. Cabins come with fully equipped kitchens, and most importantly, are literally in the middle of the woods. From your doorway, all you'll see is your small yard, two of the other cabins a modest distance away, and then nothing but pine trees, mountains peaking over their tops.
