Welcome to our newly constructed Hostel located in the “Coolest Small Town in America”, Grand Marais, Minnesota! Check out our Private Rooms, or rent out the Entire Hostel.

Located just a short drive outside of the town of Grand Marais, Minnesota, the Hungry Hippie Hostel is nestled in the hillside overlooking beautiful Lake Superior. On the edge of the wilderness, a mile off of the Superior Hiking Trail and at the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area, the Hungry Hippie Hostel is a great place to relax after an eventful day of play. Let us give you a fun, local North Shore experience!

A hostel is a budget orientated, sociable accommodation that is shared among individual travelers and groups for short term stays. We provide common areas and shared facilities with our two and a half bathrooms, cozy lounge, and a primitive kitchenette with a refrigerator, hot plate, microwave and sink. The Hungry Hippie Hostel provides private rooms with queen beds and an upstairs bunkhouse loft suit, which sleeps up to 6 with a queen bed and 2 sets of bunks. Many hostels are located in remarkable buildings. Ours is in our beautiful refurbished barn on our small family farm in Grand Marais.

We are a pet friendly establishment. However, we do charge an additional $20.00 cleaning fee for pets, and we only allow them to stay in private room #5 with their humans. We do not allow pets to sleep in beds. Please bring a kennel or bed for your four legged friend. We have a resident dog named Charlie. He has free roam of our homestead, so please be respectful of his space. Ask us about our pet policy for more information.

Hungry Hippie Hostel reserves the right to decline any booking at our discretion. Please be kind and courteous to fellow hostel guests, hostel employees and our family, and follow our house rules. Those who fail to comply will be asked to leave the premises without a refund.
