    Default Abby’s Place Hiker Hostel

    I'm planning a section hike between Carver's Gap (36.1065077, -82.1104008) and Laurel Falls approach trail (1057 U.S. 321 Scenic, Hampton, TN 37658).

    From what I've read there is a hostel located near the trail about 27 miles in from Carver's Gap:
    Abby’s Place a rustic Hiker Hostel

    I'm using AWOL's thru hikers guide from 2011, so I just want to check that this hostel is still there and about how many beds/bunks.

    Would like to do this sometime in JUN. Also, curious about what type of snacks, yummies and such they might have...

    Thanks a ton.

    It is still listed in the 2013 AWOL Guide.

    They are still operating although I heard they were closed in April due to personal issue. AWOL lists their phone # 423-772-3450.

    Money well spent to buy an updated trail guide.
