Best hostel on the entire Appalachian Trail. Bob Peoples retired from the Air Force. He and his…read morewife moved to Hampton TN, way up in the mountains, built a home with a connecting hostel just a short walk from the Appalachian Trail, with the intent to host AT hikers, and volunteer to maintain what was at the time a very poorly maintained section of the Appalachian Trail. It's a special place place rooted deep within the long distance hiking community. The hostels amenities are very simple. Bunks, wood stove, showers, laundry, free shuttle, kitchen. It's perfect for hikers. And anyone who meets Bob will tell you he is the salt of the earth.

Kincora is a hostel for AT hikers that only asks for a $5 donation if you're short on cash, however…read morewe loved the generosity from Bob Peoples and his helpers so much that we donated $20/person, especially when we herd that some hikers had been stealing money from his donation box, how disappointing and what a shame! Bob Peoples has got to be one of the friendliest members of the AT society I have met yet. He was extremely cheerful and loves to laugh and joke with everyone. At his hostel you can bunk, or if you're a couple and there aren't many hikers staying the night you arrive, he will let you stay in one of his private cabins (one is a tree house). You are also able to shower and do laundry during your stay, and they will also shuttle the group into town. We had a medical problem, so Bob made a special trip into town just for us. It is not the cleanest, newest hostel we've been to, however none thus far have been. It was the atmosphere that made it incredible. I just hope hikers don't take advantage of this gem and they give back to his cause. We had such an amazing experience at this hostel!
