It was located at a rural setting so could now be a tree farm. Last time I was there was around 1972 so my memory is vague. Probably north of PA turnpike?

I did get one Google hit on it. It was referred to as "Canon Hill Youth Hostel". Does that location mean anything to you? There is a "Cannon Hill Lane" north of town. It was not "Elizabeth Farms" you see down by the turnpike. I keep zooming down at different locations with satellite view hoping something jogs my memory. It wasn't far off the pavement as we rode with skinny tires back then.

I rode right by the old Bowmansville hostel on a trip NH to VA in 2014. At that time it was a restaurant. The more recent street view posted above shows that it is no longer a restaurant. That hostel has a long history.
