Aligned with New Paltz's hippie vibe, this hostel in a big old house next to the bus station is popular with visiting rock climbers and hikers. There's one mixed dorm room and several private rooms (both with private and shared bathrooms), as well as a good communal kitchen.
A full-time home to some students, it has a strict no drugs or alcohol policy, as well as a 10pm curfew for the dorms.
