    This place has the best food in the Roan Highlands. The Kitchen is amazing. I eat there at least…read moreonce a week and when they close for the season I get sad. Dave smokes a pastrami that is 1/4" thick, best Reuben I've ever had. I dream about it. I harass them about it. Everything they cook is amazing, the smash burgers, the wings, the chicken sandwiches. Dave and Shannon are awesome people, Hurricane Helene took out their hostel but it's almost rebuilt. Cold beer, even some NA beers. Live music. It's my favorite place to go, spend birthdays and holidays there. Go become a part of their family like I did.

    I stayed here while hiking a section of the AT back in September 2001. My buddy and I got in late…read moreand were referred to the local Mexican restaurant, Puerto Nuevo, at the far end of town, as the only place likely to still be open after 8 pm. They had decent service and good, filling meals along with a salsa bar. (See my review). I recommend the food there. The main house was very nice and decorated for Halloween. My buddy and I got a room in the bunkhouse. It seemed like hotel room prices for a couple of old beds in an aged, makeshift room in a barn. The bathroom was upstairs. It was a bit small but workable. We paid extra for the breakfast. There was a lot of variety and I ate my fill but the food seemed bland tasting. Also, the person who rang us up at the bunkhouse kept pressuring us to stay another night. We hiked that area and moved on.

    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!

    We had the awesome opportunity to stay at Oza's cabin on our honeymoon. The cabin was wonderful!!…read morePeggy and Mike have a great gift for hospitality. They provide all of the amenities of home for their guests. We enjoyed a fire in the fire pit next to our cabin and rocking on the front porch in the evenings. The sound of the water moving down the river and the seclusion of the location is peaceful and good for the soul. Due to the convenient location we were able to enjoy sight seeing in North Carolina and Tennessee and take in the breathtaking views from the mountains when hiking. For anyone who loves the outdoors as we do this is the perfect location to spend a vacation. The small town of Erwin is a favorite of ours for its charm and unique shops. We look forward to spending more time at the farm!

    I first discovered Cantarroso Farms by meeting Peggy (owner) while Thru-hiking the Appalachian…read moreTrail just outside of Hot Springs, NC. When I arrived a few days later they took me in as if I were family. I had injuries from the trail and without hesitation got me the medical treatment I needed. They put me up in the cabin where again they made me feel at home...so much so I did not want to leave spending 5 days with them. I met many other wonderful guests who shared the cabin and stayed in their guest rooms in the house overlooking the scenic view of the river. If you need a bed, room or whole house rental I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Cantarroso Farms as must visit in Erwin Tennessee. Trail Name: "Wye Knot"

    I had never stayed at a hostel, and had my concerns, but my recent visit was generally positive. I…read morestayed in the pod, essentially a bunk surrounded by three walls and a curtain. I am a pretty big guy but fit comfortably on the extended twin mattress. The mattress left something to be desired , but ultimately I slept better than I normally do at hotels because after 11:00, lights go out and it is quiet hours, which all of the other residents abide by. You can't beat the price and location, in the heart of the tourist district, just blocks from the drum circle park and Harrahs arena.

    Sweet Peas offers a great product: great price, great location, and good clean, safe, lodging…read more I think its fair to say the following: Asheville is a tourist destination-and lots of people come to Asheville for many different reasons, and everyone needs lodging. With most homeowners prohibited by local zoning to rent out their homes via Airbnb for short term stays, and with limited hotels within the downtown area, Sweet Peas provides travelers with surprisingly affordable lodging for those seeking an alternative to the chain hotels. Sweet Peas is right downtown, in the midst of the all the things that brings one to Asheville: shopping, music, sports, outdoor fun, and...food-you are in walking distance to any and all of these pleasures you seek. I'm a repeat visitor. It's an ideal spot for me when I visit town 3-5 times a year for the price and location. If you have stayed in a hostel before, you know this is a decent hostel. If you haven't, please-don't compare to a hotel. There are varieties of ages present-young, middle, old, all here for different reasons. There will be people to build community with, or, you can hide in your bunk-and that's ok. There is no alcohol allowed, and quiet times between 11 pm and 7 am. The staff are friendly, efficient, and will provide you towels etc. There is a fridge (but know its usually pretty full) and coffee pot and kitchen area. I've found when traveling, its best to travel hopefully, and I've also found then when staying at a hostel, remain hopeful and positive, and you'll love your experience when doing so. My next visit is in a couple of weeks, and I look forward to the respite of Sweet Peas.
