Barn Door Hostel
Nestled in the rugged beauty of the White Mountains, the Barn Door Hostel in Rumney, New Hampshire, stands as a sanctuary for adventurers and relaxation seekers alike. Founded in 2018 by explorer and beer connoisseur David Cook, this hostel embodies a commitment to comfort and camaraderie. Just two miles from world-class rock climbing, Barn Door Hostel is a haven for climbers and outdoor enthusiasts, offering a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities.
Set on nine acres of rolling meadow, the hostel features a variety of accommodations, including 4, 8, and 10-bed mixed dorms, as well as three private rooms.

The location is unbeatable. The White Mountain National Forest is literally at your doorstep, offering immediate access to the main climbing crag and smaller crags within walking distance.
