Hello, we are Chica & Sunsets! We thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2017 and the Camino de Santiago in 2018. We first had the thought of opening a hiker hostel while on our own Appalachian Trail hike; and after much dreaming, planning and work – our hostel is now open! We are in Franklin, NC, mile 110 (Winding Stair Gap pick-up) of the AT.
Our hostel model is a bit different than others in that we have chosen to prioritize comfort and space over higher capacity. We are small (4 hikers max) and have 2 bedrooms with 2 beds in each room (no bunk beds!). We charge $45 all inclusive, and this includes laundry with loaner clothes, pick up & drop off at Winding Stair Gap, shuttle to town for resupply (with options to visit Lazy Hiker Brewery and Outdoor 76 Outfitter), and breakfast in the morning made by Chica. We’ll also have good wifi and a stamp for the AT passport!
We are in the 2020 Awol’s Guide (The A.T. Guide) and the Guthooks app. No walk-ins. We take reservations only one day prior to arrival. Contact: [email protected] or 715-315-0876 (text preferred).
A few other details about the hostel: We love animals, but for various reasons do not allow pets. We need to limit the number of hikers to 4 because our car only allows for 4 passengers at a time (therefore we cannot accommodate any additional hikers for hammocking or tenting). Because breakfast is not an additional cost (is included with your stay), we won’t be able to accommodate any special diet requests; however, there is a full kitchen in the hostel for your use. Happy Trails! -- Chica & Sunsets
