Hello: I and three other hiking friends just returned from a section hike of the AT in Tennessee. We stayed at the hostel Cantarroso Farm in Irwin. It is situated between the railroad tracks and the Nolichucky River. They have two heated cabins and we stayed in the larger one known as Oza's. It was very comfortable for the four of us and is thoroughly outfitted. From the front porch there is a view of the mountains. Chickens wander around the property and a long row of bee hives are one of the first things you see when you start down the drive. There is access to the banks of the Nolichucky River where you can sit and enjoy the view of the rapids and the surrounding countryside. Mike and his wife are accommodating and conscientious.
