This is a terrific location, the hosts were nice, and we enjoyed our stay and the area. However, the indoor common areas are pretty small and it must be awfully cramped if there is anything close to a full house. We had no problem preparing meals at roughly the same time as the other couple who were there during our 2-day stay, but we did get in each other's way a little bit and there are enough beds for 14 more people. I hope the hostel does well, but I can't imagine it if it were full.

Only downside to this hostel was really common areas... a small kitchen and a tiny living room type area. Otherwise, this was a really nice hostel in a stunningly picturesque location. Also well located for exploring the 1000 Islands or even hiking in the Western Adirondacks (which I did) or many state parks in the area. The hosts were super friendly and helpful. Plus how cool is it sleeping next to a lighthouse.

The caretakers were very welcoming, informative, and helpful. I am an old time hosteler and have changed as hosteling has changed and I actually found the lack of wifi in the actual hostel a bit of a pain. Maybe it is a blessing in disguise - I had to wait until the caretakers' house opened in the morning to make use of the wifi which put me in touch with a few people for conversations. So maybe keeping the wifi accessibility in the caretakers' house is a smart move.
