Property Information
At Cross Trails Hostel, our goal is to provide inexpensive, comfortable accommodations for adventurers & travelers. That way they can focus on experiencing the rich scenery, history, & culture of the area. Our hostel stands high above the AT and C&O, and gives an unsurpassed view of the Potomac River surrounding Harpers Ferry.
The property has operated as a youth hostel since the early 1960s and has accommodated thousands of travelers, hikers, and cyclists worldwide.
Harpers Ferry and the surrounding areas are jam-packed with things to do. Whether you’re looking for an adrenaline rush or a romantic dinner date, you have options. Towering cliffs and whitewater rafting are just down the road, but so are wineries, brunch, and history tours if that's more your speed.
