My husband and I enjoyed the relaxed feel of the hostel and the land. After camping in the woods for the previous few days, it was wonderful to have such a clean and accessible kitchen and bathroom. We especially liked reading through the guide books that were provided, and being greeted by the friendly neighbor cat. The instructions were all helpful and clear on using the house and land. We had a great stay!

Tent camping
Tent camping at the Jackass was great! I never met the hosts directly but their instructions and signage at the property was plenty enough! Flat ground perfect for the tent. I even had a little bit of Wi-Fi at the tent site so that was nice. Cabin was fully stocked and clean! Was great to be able to use a real bathroom!!
