This may be old news here on WB and I missed it. I met the owner, Hattie, of Hemlock Hollow while having dinner in Hot Springs. I asked how the hiking season was going and thanked her for the service she provides to AT hikers. She informed me that, do to advancing age and illness in the family, she is selling Hemlock Hollow hostel. It's located 17 miles north of Hot Springs (1.5 miles north of Allen gap) 0.7 miles west of the trail. She said he really enjoys hikers and regrets having to sell. I didn't ask how much she was selling it for but she did say that she was truly hoping to sell to someone that really enjoyed and cared about hikers. If anyone is interested in purchasing the place or just wants to call and thank her for the service she's provided the phone number is 423-787-0917.
