Although we love our remote home in the mountains, we recognize that it can be difficult to reach us in stormy weather. Please plan accordingly. Unfortunately, we cannot make exceptions for inclement weather. We recommend that you do not book until your travel plans are confirmed!
Do you provide linens?
Yes! We provide linens including sheets, blankets, and pillows. Campers using the tent sites need to bring their own gear, but they can borrow towels as well. We encourage folks to bring their own towels, though we have towels available for rent for $5.
Do you provide shampoo?
We have a basic supply of shampoo, conditioner, and soap.
What is the bathroom situation?
There are three shared bathrooms available to all guests. Two of those are dorm style bathrooms with two shower stalls a piece. Room #11 and room #12 have a private bathroom each.
Is there free parking on the premises?
Yes!
Can I lock my gear on site instead of leaving it in my car?
Yes! We have a storage space that locks as well as lockable rooms and cubbies (in the shared rooms).
Are dogs allowed?
Dogs are allowed in the private rooms so long as they are NEVER left alone in the hostel. Please call to let us know if you will be bringing a pup along.
Do you have quiet hours?
Accommodating our early-rising adventurers is important to us. To help our guests make the most of their days, we enforce quiet hours from 10pm to 6am. Does this mean we shut the lights out on you? No. At 10pm, we ask the folks using common areas to lower their voices, move to outdoor spaces, and be mindful of noise in the kitchen.
What's the deal with the kitchen?
We have a big kitchen with two stations, including two stoves, two refrigerators, two sinks, and a ton of pots, pans, cookwear, and spices! Feel free to cook what you need when you need to, as long as you are respectful of quiet hours between 10pm-6am.
Is it mostly college kids?
Nope! We get a huge range of folks from students, to international families, solo travelers, through hikers, affinity groups, retirees, and more.
Wait: what even is a hostel?
Hostels are a traveler's best friend. Historically, hostels catered to backpackers and solo travelers, especially in Europe. Now, they are common all over the world. Hostels are often small, cost-effective operations with local flare.
Our hostel offers both shared & private accommodations, with shared amenities and common spaces. Folks are encouraged to do what at many establishments is unthinkable: talk to each other!
The experience of sharing cultural cuisine, trail info, and stories around the fire makes your stay at CoHo unique, your vacation memorable.
All hostels are different; but at CoHo: Conway Hostel, you can expect a comfortable stay that is a part of your adventure.
The CoHo Story
Welcome to CoHo!
My name is Haley. My partner Kyle and I founded CoHo:Conway Hostel in 2021 to get people together & outside.
A bit about us: Kyle and I are both born and raised New Englanders. We met teaching outdoor education, including mountain bike coaching, running high ropes courses, and leading overnight trips for kids. Outdoor experiences and the connections they foster teach us who we are, who we can be, and how to engage with the world around us.
Initially, we saw that cost, know-how, and lack of representation and community often keep many from accessing these experiences. We started off with a strong drive to counter these barriers. And we still do.
That said, after a few years running the hostel (as I edit this in 2026), I can say that our whole team feels inspired not only by the power of the mountains but by this little hostel too. Hostels bring people together in a way that is sorely missing in our culture. We work to keep the experience at CoHo meaningful and accessible to all, too.
At CoHo, we
- Facilitate responsible, equitable access to the White Mountains and beyond
- Provide a clean, comfortable and welcoming space that facilitates connection within ourselves, with others, and with the outdoors
- Operate with reliability, integrity, intention, and a desire to learn.
Happy adventuring--
With gratitude,
Haley & Kyle
