ArtHaus has been open since July 2004, we've got 9 bunks (in two rooms), planning on expanding to offer a private room in the near future. We LOVE art and anyone else who does. You can check us out at www.hostels.com but you can call us 828-225-3278 if you want to reserve. We are right downtown in Asheville, so if you can get to us, we are a great location for taking in the "civilization" of Asheville.
We love hikers, but the sleeping bags we could do without, so with all do respect, you won't be able to use 'em in the hostel, sheets are $2 a set but we provide blankets free.
Peace, Rupa!
