After all the great reviews we saw online, we wanted to check it out and it was as wonderful as everyone else said - maybe even better!! We stayed in one of their private rooms so it felt more like a B&B than a hostel. Can't say enough nice things about the staff, the house, the location, the breakfast! Everything... More

I learned about slackpacking and I am glad I did. It sure beats sleeping in the woods. Lee and Josh provide a clean room and great breakfast to start the day. Shuttles to the trail made my trip easy and stress free. I will be back soon.

Ditto everything said by every other reviewer. Husband and I stayed at Hiker Hostel earlier this week, our last stop on my husband's cycling vacation. This 3 level cabin home is comfortable and clean, and located in a beautiful, quiet area about 6-7 miles north of d/t Dahlonega and about 15 miles from Vogel State Park. A great location for... More

I stayed here last year when finished hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail. Did it again this year. Pick up and drop off to the AT is a big plus. Friendly warm welcome. Very clean rooms. Quiet and peaceful. Shower, AC, firepit, use of kitchen and washer/dryer are nice. Included Breakfast is superb. Josh and Leigh are former thru... More

This was the best way to start the AT!!! Flew into Atlanta and took the MARTA train to the north end of the city where Willy (Hiker Hostel Driver and a wealth of AT info) picked 5 hikers up including myself. We stopped off at Walmart to grab dinner to cook that night in the guest kitchen. The hostel itself... More

Can't say enough good things about this hostel. Very clean & comfortable, with a nice kitchen for guests. Staying there feels like you're a guest at a friend's house. We were on a cycling trip, and there were also spaces to hang up bikes inside, a hose to wash bikes outside, and a living room to hang around when we... More

This place is somewhat of a mix between a fancy hostel and a modest bed and breakfast. The building is clean, the grounds are well kept, the food is great and the owners are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. It felt like being a guest at someone's house. Guests have access to kitchen and laundry area. Transportation to and from the... More

Don’t let the name fool you it is not a regular hostel. This is a cabin in the woods that has both private rooms and bunk rooms for people just wanting to relax in the wilderness to hikers passing through for a shower and a good meal. There is a kitchen downstairs to prepare meals or make hot water in... More

For my 3rd night backpacking on the Appalachian Trail, I wanted a bed, shower, and toilet. One phone call, and the owner of the Hiker Hostel picked us up in 30 minutes, and transported us for free to his hostel. What a great place with friendly people, laundry, refrigerator, coffee, TV, air conditioning, Netflix and lots of VHS tapes. Super... More
