Mason Hill in Chesire

[grnmtngirl]

Just curious to see if any hikers stayed at the Mason Hill Hostel this season?

I saw some flyers for it at Wilbur's Clearing and a few good comments. It doesn't seem like a lot of people would stop there b/c other towns are more a destination for resupply, etc. But seems like a great place for a real shower, pancakes, and all that good stuff.

A bit late for the inquiry, but my wife and I did stay here on a recent Mass section hike. We loved it. When we called, the owner offered to pick us up but we decided to walk into town with some thru-hikers who were also staying there. We rented a cabin with queen size bed that overlooks a waterfall for $50. There is also a cabin with two beds, and several beds and bunks in a barn as well as tent space. It has laundry and two showers. Very clean and comfortable and the grounds are beautiful.

I looked on their web site and they are closed for the 2011 season. Now looking for alternate places to stay. Is the church available in september?

They are closed this year, not enough business. The church is likely to be open (has been in the past): http://www.stmaryscheshire.com/
