I’m not sure, but I had fun!
The vegetarian meal is worth the price of admission. Seriously, as someone from a food/restaurant city, you could not find a 5 star Vegetarian/Vegan restaurant, and eat that well for less than 50$. Not in the US anyway. This place is stunning and you don’t need anyone or anything, if that’s how you roll. If you do want community, all you have to do is participate in one of the many ways to get your hands dirty. If you are a misfit, you will not feel that way at the hostel. If you’re not a misfit, you may not understand this place and its reason for existence. It’s not for everyone. You have to be ok with being super sweaty at all times and not having a toilet - there’s 2 compost toilets, but that’s to poop, if you make it, in the morning. There’s no AC - anywhere - not in the main areas like the kitchen or the front “lobby”. If you’re perimenopausal - you may have to go to your car for AC relief! The road to get to the parking lot is not safe for smaller cars or really anything that doesn’t have 4WD. I was told it’s part of the appeal- that it slows people down. It does do that for sure, but I’m not trying to start or end my trip getting stuck in the mud. They did accommodate me asking them if I could use an alternative road. I wish I would’ve know beforehand and why I’m leaving in the review. “Turn around, don’t drown” is the lowcountry’s motto - the hostel should consider this. Once in, all was perfect!

Beautiful place. I will definitely return! Staff were incredibly kind and friendly. This was the perfect place for me to get away by myself, reconnect and reenergize.
