Barndoor Hostel

New Hampshire’s Laid-Back Base for Outdoor People🏕️🌲

You arrive at Barndoor Hostel with scratched boots and that post-trail hunger, and somehow within minutes you’re already swapping stories with the person who just came off the crag. This place isn’t polished — and that’s the point. It’s real. It’s gritty. It’s where adventure-seekers land after a day in the White Mountains.

Barndoor sits on a huge patch of land that feels like it grew up with hikers, climbers, paddlers, and wanderers first. Shared rooms, a common kitchen that smells like fresh coffee in the morning, hiking boots by the door, and a common room that fills with laughter after sunset. That’s the rhythm here.

You’ll meet rock climbers plotting their next move, backpackers headed down the trail, and folks who just love wide-open skies and campfire conversations. It’s the kind of social spot where you start your day with a plan and leave with a handful of new friends.

The location is a pulling-in kind of place — close enough to Rumney Rocks and trails that beg you to wander, yet quiet enough that the only soundtrack at night is the crackle of firewood and storytelling from the porch.

Barndoor Hostel isn’t about sterile stays or cookie-cutter experiences — it’s about people, trails, and the stories in between. That’s our kind of travel.

Meet friends, share stories, embrace the journey.
