This has been one of the most informative videos I have seen concerning hiking the AT. Thank you!!!!
The first hostel heading north is Above the Clouds...it has saved many a hike being an early place to stay when you hit bad weather early or trying to help a sore knee. Food is amazing and very clean, plus shuttle from and to the trail.
The expired food @ standing bear has been an ongoing thing for YEARS.
Thank you for doing this video! I will be getting on Trail in 2024 and this is really helpful! I love your form too!!!
That form was such a great idea as it was an quick way to reach out to let you know how we could help you! Made planning at your end easier!
Thank you for this beautiful video. This helped a lot. Good information
A few other outstanding Hostels…1/4 Way Hostel in Virginia was amazing, the Notch Hostel in New Hampshire was great in every way-thanks Serena, and the Hostel of Maine was clean, comfortable and luxurious. Finally Shaws in Monson Maine was great, with a legendary history and breakfast. I agree that Woods Hole was unique and so enjoyable. Neville is amazing, the loft was great and she even let me play her grandfather’s Martin guitar after a short audition!!!😊
Wow! Very informative and helpful!
We stayed at ALOT of hostels this year and my favorites were: Above the Clouds, Chicago and Sunsets, The Discerning Hiker, Mountain Harbor (B&B), Natures Inn, The Refuge, Black Bear, Lady Di’s, Weary Feet, Woods Hole, Wicked Waystation, The Notch, The Green Mountain House, The Maine Roadhouse, and Shaws. There was a Church before Caledonia State Park that was great, a lady who had a room downstairs and a wonderfully decorated home and yard in PA (I think), and another lady who ran a B & B in VA (She was a musician and her home was surrounded by cornfields) that were great.
Hey Fern! I really enjoyed this video segment, and we can always count on your frank honesty. Before I forget, congratulations to you and Gypsy for your new channel, upcoming ventures and your nuptial plans. This video is very informative; I was planning to stay at Standing Bear Farm Hostel at the end of The Smokys this April, but now I'm debating it. I will be doing that section car-to-car with another hiker, so I won't need them for resupply, but just the business and hospitality sense that they'd sell expired resupply goods to hikers gives one pause.
Thanks for the info. Always check reviews too
This was such an informative video! Thank you ✨🤞
Very informative and cool stories!!Thanks, Good Stuff✌️
It's interesting to hear how others felt about different hostels. Above the Clouds in Suches, GA is my favorite. I didn't think I'd make it out of Georgia much less to Maine. Nimrod was so kind and talked with me even though I was a sobbing mess. Some hostels seem more hit and miss though. I wasn't going to stay at Uncle Johnny's but it was pouring rain. Nothing bad happened but I wouldn't stay there again. It's not my jam. The only hostel I tell people to avoid is 4 Pines in Catawba, VA. The two guys who run it are awful.
Valuable video. Thanks.
Despite your comments at about 4 minutes into this video, Fontana Lodge is NOT the only place to stay prior to the Smokies if you're northbound. There's also The Hike Inn, run by Nancy Hoch. I've stayed there twice and would highly recommend it. Nancy is one of the sweetest people you'll encounter on the trail. She'll pick up from Fontana Dam (or probably elsewhere, but that's where I got picked up). There's laundry available for a small charge on site as well. She'll shuttle you to town for resupply/supper and get you back on trail clean, rested and fed. Look up The Hike Inn and call her. I believe it's listed with FarOut and good guidebooks.
Chica and Sunsets ( Jen & Greg ) are great people and have an awesome place. I've never heard of anyone having a negative experience there. For the record they thruhiked in 2017 as I shuttled them from the trailhead at Uncle Johnny's to Super 8 in Erwin and back to the trail. You're also not the first to have a problem with the shuttle driver at Uncle Johnny's in Erwin. I'm glad you mentioned it because I'm not sure the owner is aware of this behavior. Also was good to see the young lady with the kitten, I took them to Johnson City and back when they hiked through.
Great video! Awesome information. Crow✌️
Standing Bear has been selling expired food for a decade.
Thanks so much for this info! It was very helpful, and what a beautiful cabin you have! I will be vlogging my thru-hike starting in mid- to late March: Texas One-Step Hikes the AT. Hope you follow along. 🌻
