Meet the The Simple Lodge & Hostel Hosts

Jon & Julia

Jon: I love to host people and talk. Working at the hostel allows for both of these things to happen daily. There are few things more exciting to me than enjoying God's creation and sharing it with others. Also, I like beer while cooking a large meal for several others.

Julia: I am a midwife and a nurse. I’ve worked and lived overseas, and stayed in many hostels while traveling around this phenomenal planet. I love to mountain bike, hike, backpack, snowboard, run, dance and sing. I'm overwhelmingly grateful for this life my husband and I have together, and all the people who join us on the adventure.

The Simple Lodge & Hostel Values

We believe that people are important. Community is important. Reusing materials to find a new use for them is important. Fun is important.
