| Excellent hostel. I've been staying there for 10 yers or so. Please don't close it. The "country-farm" location is ideal.... | ||

| Bed & Breakfast, you make both. Mark stayed up late for my arrival, the house feels like a $100+ B&B and the grounds, Malabar Farms, make the stay a treat. the place is furnished with everything you'd need. Stay at Malabar if you're ever in Ohio. | ||

| I enjoyed my stay so much I have already recommended the Hostel to others. Manager Mark was very hospitable and a true font of information about the region. | ||

| I have been staying at Malabar Farm Hostel every year for the past four years when a friend and I attend a sporting event in Mansfield, and, frankly, I can't imagine staying anywhere else. We have known three managers and each of them we have come to know as friends. The setting is marvelously peaceful, and the accommodations are comfortable. Even without air conditioning, we were comfortable in August. | ||

| Mark the Host was great. He knows stories of the area and was eager to share them. He is a playwrite regarding local lore. Great common areas in the hostel. One floor had a piano room and library. Downstairs had another library with wide screen TV and surround sound. Kitchen has a huge antique-looking gas stove along with microwave. It may be off the beaten path but this hostel is worth the trip. | ||
