Recently I have seen an ad for a new hikers hostel in Shelburne NH. I believe it is the bed and breakfast located on the south side of RT2 immediately across from where the AT turns off of RT 2 and onto North Road. Once I get more info, I will add to this post, but it might be worth pencilling it in the guide books. It will be real handy to the trail, but not so handy to town and all the services.
