Stayed two nights, incredible, great location, fantastic price, clean Stayed here for 2 nights and was blown away by what a great deal it was. The place is amazing. You definitely feel like you are staying in a mansion. The piano is tuned and ready to be played. The hospitality makes you feel like you are home. Lots of books to share. If you are on the trail, don't miss staying here. — Bill , USA (2011-08-08)

We had 28 students stay here for 3 nights for enviro ed We have been coming to this hostel for over 24 years. It was really declining in appearance. The CPC took it over and completely renovated it with lots of volunteer help. The place is amazing!! We cannot believe how beautiful it is. Very comfortable and clean. New beds!!! It is decorated so nicely you feel like you are staying in a mansion. Great hospitality too! — Mary - St. Stephen's , USA (2011-07-11)

Visited ths hostel as part of a tour in 2008. We found it very well equipped and comfortable.The kitchen was very good, and the history of the building fascinating. I learned for the first time re the Underground Railroad, and have since passed it on to anyone who listens to me! Cant wait to go back. — Jean Harris , Scotland (2011-03-25)

Haunted This place is super haunted! — Paul (2009-07-22)

A wonderfully scenic, hospitable, and historical experience. This hostel, on an ironworking plantation active from the 1820s to 1890s and somewhat isolated for motorists, is a real asset for hikers along busy sections of the AT -- which it straddles -- and a jewel all should appreciate. It's a friendly, orderly, clean, and well-looked-after property located within several converging state parks and forests not far from Harrisburg and Carlisle -- and Gettysburg -- within a major Eastern north-south/east-west highway junction and heritage tourism complex. Ease of access to its peaceful and bucolic mountain surroundings forms its greatest attraction. Very good times, good value, for hikers, families, individual travelers. — David , USA (2007-09-21)

Excellent Donna is a wonderful caretaker! Had an excellent stay at IMYH during my hike. The false floor in the first floor closet was unbelievable. Thank you Donna so much for your generosity and hospitality. Hikers are lucky to have you at the IMYH. Hope to see you again! — David (Baggy) , USA (2007-08-06)

Excellent hostel with an extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff person. It's a huge old mansion -- tons of character. The kitchen is in terrific shape. I've been there twice and both times met fascinating people while cooking meals. Really, one of the nicest hostels I've stayed at in all of the U.S.A. (and I've stayed in a lot). — Justin (2006-10-25)

The place isn't being care for and it shows! Paint is peeling and the paint is chipped a lot of places. The large front porch is slowly falling apart. Again, peeing paint and lack of upkeep. No one seem to care. The place is dirty and unkempt except when a guest does the work! Go and enjoy your stay. Someday soon this hostel will turn into a giant flophouse! — Bill K. (2006-02-21)

Extremely nice hostess. She is well informed about the mansion and area. This is not your typical hostel. — Dave (2006-02-05)

I stayed here recently. Friendly host. Pleasant, peaceful area. It's an ok place to stay. It's a hostel, not the Hilton. But for the price, it beats sleeping in a tent. — Anonymous (2005-05-29)
