South Bristol, Maine
Set on a 19th-century farm along Route 129, the two-lane road that threads down Maine's Pemaquid peninsula toward South Bristol, Hawks House Inn keeps things refreshingly unfussy: communal kitchens where guests can put together their own breakfast, a shared lounge for settling in after a day on the coast, and free Wi-Fi throughout. The 4.9 rating across more than 200 reviews suggests the kind of place people return to and tell their friends about.

Asheville, North Carolina
A laid-back hostel on West Asheville's Haywood Road, Bon Paul & Sharky's trades polish for easy company — unpretentious quarters, a shared lounge where conversation accumulates, and a communal kitchen for travelers cooking their own. Breakfast is included, and the 4.3-star consensus across nearly 300 guests suggests the welcome does most of the work.
