Rusty’s Hard Time Hollow in Virginia 16.7 miles south of Rockfish Gap is currently up for sale.
Rusty has had health issues recently and will be moving once his property has sold. He has listed it with a realtor and there is a promotional website. You can view the listing and see a video online at
www.rustyshardtimehollow.com.
Rusty wants 2019 hikers to visit since this might be his final year owning the property. He especially would like to see previous hikers and friends.
This is one of the original AT hostels from days past; visit before it becomes history.
Call and talk to Rusty at 540-377-9742 if you have questions or would like to visit or stay.
