AT Terrapin Station Hostel for Sale Chester Gap/Front Royal VA

[GRATEFULGG]

Hey now,
I am Mike Evans or The Grateful Greenpeace Guy. I thru-hiked in AT in 1995 and the PCT in 1998 and have been running Front Royal Terrapin Station Hostel for over 10 years.

I am strongly considering selling the hostel and moving closer to my grandchildren (Winchester, VA). I know many hikers are looking for a business opportunity and a chance to continue their trail experience by helping hikers and living on the AT. I have enjoyed my opportunity to serve the trail community, but now it is someone else's turn.

Here are the details:

• Virginia Appalachian Trail, MP 961.4 Northbound
• Located near Front Royal
• Established 2003-present
• Proven income with shuttle services and hostel
• Currently operates 4/27-7/4 yearly, but could be expanded
• Immediately adjacent to Shenandoah National Park, 1/2 mile to AT
• Shuttles operate PenMar to Rockfish Gap (busy March-November)
• Licensed and approved by Rappahannock County, VA with annual water test and health department visit
• Sleeps 15 or with room for 6 cars
• Hostel is downstairs, separate from the living area and includes a specially designed bunk room which sleeps 12+ with a charging station next to each bunk, a living area for the hikers includes laundry, bathroom with shower, kitchen area with freezer and refrigerator, TV, extensive library, games, puzzles, etc.
• Upstairs living area includes 3 bedrooms, one more full bath, back deck, dining room, shed, large backyard with mature trees and privacy fence

I would like for all hikers to share this information with anyone that might be interested. Any or all questions are encouraged.

Thanks so much!

Mike, your hostel has an excellent reputation on the trail. Hope someone is able to continue offering hiker services at your place.
