My wife and I recently purchased a new home very close to the AT with the intentions of opening a Hostel. We were curious if there was a website or a way to contact other Hostel owners and/or Operators who might be willing to answer a few ?'s we have. Thanks for any help you can provide on this matter.

While I don’t know of any web site dedicated to hostel owners, the ALDHA Companion does list most of them, along with contact information.
I do know that Josh and Leigh Saint did a lot of research prior to opening their hostel in GA. They certainly would be good people to talk with.

FYI, Josh & Leigh are currently hiking the Colorado Trail and will be unavailable for the next several weeks.

A person hoping to open a hostel in Georgia visited Miss Janet’s House this weekend and found me off camping with a bunch of hikers. I am sorry if that was you that I missed. If it was someone else… that looks like two new possible hostels on the AT and it looks like a few more people are as crazy as I am!! Email me your questions or give me a call at 423-743-1932
