The Hostel On Main

Judy was a doll about sharing pertinent information. I happened to be lucky enough to have the whole place to myself on this Tuesday night. Come Thursday - Sunday if you'd like to have more action in town. Dollar General close by is SO well stocked for anything you might need if you come on a slow day. Everything was immaculate.

There is not much going on in this town and the husky campground is closed. We found this gem after two days riding in the rain. The owner welcomed us. Let us use the laundry machine to wash and dry our clothes. The place is simple and has everything a traveler in a quest needs.

Very convenient/cheap spot while doing the GAP. No campsites nearby and all the other places are much more pricey B&Bs. Judy the owner just did everything over the phone and got us inside in no time. Nice kitchen, 3 separate/big bathrooms, clean linens for everyone, highly recommended!

Riding the GAP trail. We'd been planning to camp the whole way, but after 44 miles in the cold rain, we needed warm and dry. The hostel was great, and we ended up having it to ourselves. Comfortable living room, kitchen with dishes and utensils, hot shower, and a decent bed. Indoor bike storage with a hose to wash things down. Couldn't have asked for much more!

My brother and I stayed in apartment 504 during our cycling trip. It was well equipped, clean and comfortable. We did have some confusion getting access to the unit since a sign on the door gave a phone number to call but we had no cell service. Fortunately I had recorded their email and they responded promptly to an email and gave us the access code.

Hostel features a large sitting room, large dormitory bunk room, two private bunk rooms, equipped kitchen, three complete restrooms and large back porch. Clean and a great option for small groups. We chose hostel as night was too cold for camping. Note: rail runs closeby, so earplugs can be helpful (useful in dormitory sleeping anyway).

After a rough cold wet day on the trail the hostel on main was what the doctor ordered. The key pad was easy to use, the place was clean, it smelled good. The sleeping arrangements were perfect. And the showers! They we're hot and with great water pressure!! The owners were very accommodating. There is places to eat within a few minutes walk. I highly recommend you stay here. I will be telling all of our customers and friends about the hostel on main.

Conveniently located just off of the GAP trail - excellent lodging at a low price. Comfortable beds (sheets and towels available), laundry, kitchen, hot showers, books and TV - everything that you need for the night. All in a very well restored former grocery store! 24hr access. Highly recommended for GAP hikers and bikers!

Stopped in here while hiking the GAP. The place is very clean. I was to meet Judy at 5:45. An hour wait, but her husband drove by saw me and gave me the code to get in til she got there. The bathrooms are clean, bedding is clean. You can do your wash too. A very nice common are to chill out in. The price was right for a night. Judy was very friendly too.

Judy is great. Super affordable and clean. Easy access to the GAP trail. No issue with my early check in. Inside spot for bikes. I did the private room (I have issues) which was very nice. Only issue is lack of food options in Rockwood. They do a breakfast pack at the hostel for an additional fee, but there’s really nowhere to get food in the town. That’s the only complaint I have which is not the host’s fault other than that I really recommend staying here but I recommend eating before you go and then getting the pack of for breakfast and maybe eating in Myers Dale was on the trailon your way to Cumberland would definitely probably stay here again
