This was our first time at a hostel. Just my husband and me the first night. We had a single room with bunk beds. Dottie, the hostess, couldn't have been nicer - still I am concerned how it would be using the common bathrooms if the place were full The second night we stayed there was another woman, delightful. Cape Vincent is a place we are very familiar with so the spectacular sunset was not a surprise. We really like the setting and the closeness to Lake Ontario.

Beautiful location...remote, not isolated. Slept waves lapping, woke to birdsong.! What fun to occupy an historic and picturesque property. Scenic drive along the St. Lawrence River over a recently paved road. Historic village of Cape Vincent (2 m.) offered restaurants, shops, more history, car ferry to Canada. We felt we had entered another world! Full kitchen with views across the water... Spectacular sunset! (Clusters of museum visitors but all is peaceful after it closes.) Go!
