House Rules

​We are so glad that you chose to stay with us in our home. There are a few things you should know.

Our House Rules are few and they are extremely important.

INTEGRITY – Use it!

We define it as, “Doing the right thing, all the time, no matter what, and no matter who’s watching.”

COMMON SENSE – Use it!

Hikers:

• Call or text a day or so before getting to Thornton Gap/ Rt 211/ Lee Highway to secure a bed or tent spot.
• (540) 244-5652
• No packs or hiking shoes inside. Hang packs on the back porch.
• Quiet hours are 10 pm – 7 am. Be courteous of early sleepers.
• Early risers will do the same. Right? ♥
• If you mess it up… clean it up. Kitchen access is a privilege; please treat it as such.
• Smoking is allowed… outside. The porches are lovely any time of year!
• NO drugs!

We are conservationists, which means . .

• We recycle – Bins on the back porch.
• Reuse your linens (towels & sheets) for the duration of your stay.
• Hang towels on the wall pegs in your room to dry.
• Close the doors to the sleeping rooms if the AC or heat is on.
• Turn off the lights and electronics when not in use.

• Bed/ shower / kitchen access: $35
• Laundry: $5/ load (See if others want laundry done, too, and share the cost.)

This town is quaint. This space is awesome.

This hostel is wonderful. Let’s keep it that way!!
