Lodging Available

At the Hungry Hippie Hostel, a beautiful barn has been transformed into a clean, cozy, and affordable lodging accommodation through a lot of elbow grease, ingenuity, and grit. This unique hostel features six private rooms with comfy queen beds, offering wonderful views of Lake Superior and the surrounding boreal forest. Additionally, there is a campground with glamping tents and primitive sites available for guests.

Private Indoor Rooms: If you're sharing the bed with someone it's $450 per person. If you'd like the room for yourself, it's $600 for single occupancy. This is the perfect option if you don't feel like camping. There are five quaint private rooms, each have a queen bed and there are two shared bathrooms/showers in the hostel and kitchenette with fridge.

Glamping Tents: If two people are sharing the tent it's $450 per person. $600 if you're in the tent solo. Canvas Tents on a platform with queen size air mattress (bring your own linens), mini porch with chairs, views of Lake Superior.
