“What an amazing place to visit, relax, refresh and be inspired! I was able to participate in the first workshop held here at the Human Nature Hostel, in the beautifully designed and crafted geodesic dome. Ryan's passion and vision to create this hostel for it's many uses for hikers, travelers, healers and those who seek to connect with nature and the inner self is profound. I was warmly welcomed as soon as I arrived. Wonderful people, good vibes, and hard work and VISION has created this place. I look forward to returning and seeing the progress.”

“No goes by Om Dome. Absolutely impecable AND EXPANDING! The #1 hostil in Andover region by far. They also provide resupply at WALMART, Walgreens and more. Convenient shuttle from trailheads on East B Hill Rd, S. Arm Rd and route 17. Why settle for less when you can go to the best.”

“Yukon is hands down one of the most selfless person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. The place is immaculate, the views are spectacular, the pups are entertaining, the outdoor showers are liberating, the beds are comfortable, and the breakfast is mouthwatering and filling. Definitely worth going to and enjoying what he has built for others.”

“Stayed at the hostel in August of 2022, on a humid summer day. Arriving at the hostel, I was greeted by White Owl and his two beautiful gentle dogs. "Welcome home brother" Walking through the door, it was cool and spacious. It truly felt like Home. The energy when you walk in the door is something I can't describe. With the incense and calm music, I hadn't felt such a sense of calm in a long time. He was such a great cook, and was attentive to other hikers dietary needs. The bunk mattresses are what heaven must feel like. The atmosphere, and energy of the dome gives you the motivation and drive to make that final push. Thank you White Owl, for making this beautiful space.”

“A Hidden Gem for Adventurers and Dreamers My recent stay at this lovely hostel was nothing short of magical! If you're a hiker, a traveler, or merely a wanderer passing through, this is the haven you’ve been searching for. If you adore breathtaking views, serenity, and an abundance of space, you’ll feel right at home here. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by good vibrations and warm hospitality. The optional dinner and pancake breakfast were not only delicious but added a cozy touch to the already inviting atmosphere. I enjoyed my stay in a comfy bunk, and the option of Yurts or tent sites adds a unique flavor for those who love the outdoors. The facilities are top-notch with well-maintained laundry, and both indoor and outdoor showers that truly enhance the camping experience. Plus, the convenient shuttles to and from the trails, local grocery stores, or Walmart were immensely helpful for planning my excursions. One of the most enchanting aspects of my stay were the stunning views at dusk and dawn. Sipping coffee as the sun painted the sky in hues of orange and pink was a delightful experience that I will cherish forever. A special shoutout to Yukon and every fabulous family member who makes this place so special. Your hospitality was heartwarming and made me feel instantly at home. Thanks to all of you, I will always carry the spirit of this hostel in my heart, and I'll be dreaming of my next visit. If you're looking for a joyful retreat and a place filled with charm and comfort, look no further—this is your paradise! Can't wait to return, one way or another!”

“The Human-Nature Hostel is a new healing hostel that supports hikers and travelers to come to a restful place of beauty while taking advantage of healing opportunities. It was an honor to be the first self-realization facilitator to share my workshops with this community. I recommend checking this place out if you are looking for a quiet, conscious space to hike, heal, connect, and unwind from the fast pace of everyday life.”

“I had the honor to visit the dome and pictures don't do it justice! When you walk in it embraces you and welcomes you with love and warmth. White owl is the most amazing, warm, sweet, kind host.(he's my favorite owl human) it's a magical and awe inspired retreat that I will be going back to not soon enough! Thank you for letting me experience this beautiful place and sharing it. It has left my heart full of love and so happy”
