Does anyone know if this hostel will be open this year (just outside of GSMNP)?

Yeah, it definately should be open. Is it not listed in the guidbooks?? A couple early NOBO’s mentioned that they stopped thru there in their journals. I think Stanimal spent 4 days there. Very nice folks, I hope you can stop in.

Officer Taco was through there on February 19. You can read about it in his journal for that date.

Great, thanks.

I heard rumors of it being shut down last year; just wanted to make sure.

During my 2001 hike i was the 11th guest at the Farm. Great stay, nice location and the best people. It was the best breakfast I had while on the trail.
Don’t miss this stop.

At least enough to get to Hot Springs?
