Looking for Info on Hostels N. of Smokies

[Grumpy]

I am looking for information on the hostels and stores just north of the Smokey Mountain National Park near Waterville School Rd & I-40. On my map I see two and assume one is Mountain Mama and one is Standing Bear Farm. Does anyone know which is which? If they are still open? Can I resupply enough to get the next 30 miles to Hot Springs?

I appreciate any help as I am planning my thru for next Feb and want to go straight through the Smokies if I can from Fontana Dam without exiting to Gatlinberg if possible.

Mountain Mama (Moma) is definitely closed. Standing Bear Farm is open and going strong.

Thanks... would anyone have the number to standing bear? I am coming a little early in the year and want to ensure they are open.
