Just needed a place to crash overnight after seeing a concert in Pioneertown and CrashPod did the job. The staff was super friendly and helpful. They made checking in super easy. The facilities were very clean and well maintained.

The place is a bit hidden/remote yet it's close enough to get to nearby cities. The staff has a great vibe. John and Sarah are wonderful hosts. Place is not for everyone. One must understand the rural vibe and the quietness. It's a nice hommie place. Although it's shared rooms, one has certain privacy in the bunk beds with the curtains. Plus, if it's a place to just crash, one gets there just to sleep and doesn't even see a person. Lol. I didn't. Clean bathroom, very important. All in all, a "yes" for the option of "would come back".

You get what you pay for. Helpful staff. Cute chickens and kittens outside which is sweet. Washer/dryer out of commission. Privacy curtains on bunk beds were helpful. Quiet guests without drama, noise, or smells. Never a line at the shower/bathroom. Bathroom was pretty clean but be sure to bring shower shoes and toiletries. Building didn’t get too hot on 93 degree days

We reserved the best room in the hostel, a private room (shared bath) with a/c. There was only a bed and a single hanging light. No hooks to hang anything, no tables, no chairs—just a bed. No towels at this hostel (I brought my own). So many things amiss here…one community bathroom “out of order.” In the kitchen the community stove “out of order.” Some rooms have no doors. Mgmnt looking for “volunteer” to clean—it needs it…chickens in yard apparently provide eggs, but the grounds look like a junk yard. No indoor common areas other than small kitchen.
