Hike Inn

"Definitely recommend staying here for your AT needs! It was small, quaint, and the staff was extremely personable. There was soap, shampoo, condition, and even a measured serving of coffee for the morning. In addition to them being so accommodating to our late arrival (unplanned), we called them for a shuttle back to Fontana Dam last minute and they pulled through for us. They also provided valuable input to our trail and packing plans because it was our first backpacking trip. Couldn't recommend this location enough!"

"Fantastic stay! Nancy was a great host, the room was very clean and the bed comfy. My resupply box I sent was waiting for me on the bed when i arrived! Great rest up spot before entering the Smokies!"

"I used the Hike Inn's Appalachian Trail shuttle services and have nothing but good things to say about Nancy. She is the sweetest lady, and she provided me with all information up front when I was scheduling my shuttle. I really enjoyed talking to her during the shuttle ride. She let me park at the inn, which was included in the total price, as I had heard that parking at Fontana Dam overnight may not be the safest. I ended up running behind schedule during the last 4 or so miles of my hike for her to pick me up, but she still waited for me and even had a cold Powerade for me when I finished my hike!"

"Passing through on the AT and booked to stay here. Unfortunately their well pump was out so they had no water. BUT, they booked us a room at another hotel, and also shuttled us out that evening, and shuttled us back in the next morning! I have dealt with both Tom and Nancy multiple times now and can't stress enough how helpful, friendly, and truly SERVICE oriented they are. FYI, if you're a hiker and you book here, for one price you get the room, shuttles to town and back, and loaner clothes while they do your laundry for you! Book a stay! I'm sure you'll be well treated!"

"Stayed here Thanksgiving day. We were supposed to stay Friday night but finished early and called Nancy to see if she had room for us. She said yes and had the room ready for us by the time we were there. She greeted us outside and walked us to our room. It's was very clean and was nice and stocked with body washes, shampoo, and plenty of clean towels for us. She even gave us a few towels to clean gear with. For 66 dollars (60 for the room and 6 for taxes) is a very good price in my opinion. There wasn't any where to eat close by so we just cooked our trail food on the large porch there. We had also used her for a shuttle to Clingsman Dome from Fontana Dam. The price was very good and Tom was great to ride with. This place is a gem hiding in the mountains. Will definitely use them again if in the area."
