Not so much a review as an endorsement.
Clean, friendly, great atmosphere.
They shuttle to the start - choice of Amicalola Park for the approach trail or to the summit (almost) of Springer.
The Lodge at Amicalola (we spent one night at each so I can compare) is much more up market and the cost differential reflects this.
I strongly recommend both establishments but the Hiker Hostel is much better value for money.

Hehe... You said "4/20" :silly: ... Just a side note cuz I know there are some cyclist among us, I never stayed there as a "Hiker" but stayed there with my Team when we would go up there to train or ride in the Six Gap Century... It's just a cool place to stay... I lived in Dahlonega for 3 years and passed that place almost every day lookin' at that "For Sale" sign and wishin' I could buy it 2.gif ...
