Without out a doubt, the best hostel I have ever stayed in (I've stayed in about a dozen different ones both here in America and in Europe). The location and views are mind blowing.

Loved it. I've never stayed in a Hostel before so was expecting something bare bones. I was pleasantly surprised!! There were fans in the bedrooms,nice bathrooms which included soap&shampoo, reading room,large, wonderful kitchen w/coffee maker &coffee. Coffee a real plus. My friend and I were traveling, by bicycle, around Lake Ontario, so we travel light and cannot bring much in the way of supplies. And, of course, the view at Tibbetts Point was fantastic, and the location very relaxing.

I would recommend this nice historical hostel! I could look out my window in the room where I stayed to watch the light from the lighthouse at night! You can sit on benches and watch the sunset with the breeze off of where the St. Lawrence and Lake Ontario meet! You can even swim near the lighthouse! The buildings were built in the 1820s, that is why the hostel only operates from June until Sept. I will be coming back to enjoy this quaint hostel!

A magnificent location for a hostel. Wonderful bicycling along the St. Lawrence and around the various peninsulas south of the hostel. The Cape Vincent Chamber of Commerce has 4 or 5 bicycle route maps. The hostel needs some personal lockers for guests to place their "valuables" e. g., computers & cameras. This is necessary because some guests forget to press the security lock button on the door. Visitors to the Hostel area (lighthouse, museum, gift shop) are curious & try to enter the hostel.
