I stayed here this year with my friends for our "zero day" during my section hike from Hot Springs to Hugh's Gap. I can not say enough how fabulous this hostel is! Taft, who built it, thought of everything, up to making sure each little cabin has a view of the creek. Amy, his sister that runs it, is a true gem of a person. She keeps the place immaculately clean, well decorated, and is always available for anything a hiker staying there would need.
Coming to this place was like coming home. The beds are comfortable, the bedding is nice, and the decor is something I would have in my home. It was all very welcoming. I highly recommend this place for A.T. hikers and also those who just want a retreat away.
A special thanks to Amy for all she did to make our stay a highlight in our section hike this year. All your work in the background made for an amazing stay for us from the shuttle service, the Stoney Knob Restaurant recommendation, and on to include the hours of conversation you took time to have with us. We truly had an awesome stay!
