Hostels

Of all the places to stay in the White Mountains, hostels are an excellent pick for outdoor lovers and budget-conscious travelers. Not only are local hostels affordable and close to natural attractions, but they’re also communally focused, allowing you to connect with fellow travelers from around the world as you explore the area.

Your Launchpad to Outdoor Adventures

In North Woodstock, you can stay in a converted farmhouse with spacious porches, cozy fire pits, and an indoor stove. At hostels in North Conway and throughout the region, public spaces (like fully equipped kitchens, gardens, and lounge areas) and events such as nightly campfires under the stars provide excellent opportunities to meet like-minded travelers. 

Hostels tend to attract outdoor lovers, thanks to locations near Franconia Notch, the Kancamagus Highway, and White Mountain National Forest. Owners and hosts are always happy to share their passion for hiking and mountaineering with guests, and some hostels even cater specifically to hikers and backpackers. Regarding accommodations, you can pay for either a bunk bed in a dorm-style or a private single room.
