The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … The hostel in the forest opened up a new chapter in my life. My first night there was December 31, 1999. I rang in the new year with some good friends and several new friends. The magic of the hostel is powerful -- it attracts soulful, big-hearted people from all walks of life. On every return visit I have met several interesting people. No matter what goes on in life, staying at the hostel allows me to realize that I am not my circumstances. I am neither my thoughts nor my feelings. As well I have learned a lot about living with a small physical impact on the Earth. The hostel isn't for everyone. If you cannot get by without the plushest of accommodations, stay far away. If nature is your bitch, stay far away. If you feel -- or at least have a sneaky suspicion -- that the universe is a magical and beautiful place, then go! Call in advance though -- space is limited.
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … Simply home.
Hiker Hostel in Dahlonega … I visited this hostel late summer 2009 and was very impressed by its top-notch hospitality, friendliness, and most notably its impeccable cleanliness. I've stayed at a few hostels in my day, and have admittedly had to "bite the bullet" sometimes when it came time to take a shower or use the kitchen; not the case with this one. You detect the wafting aroma of clean the moment you enter and it never goes away. The other major selling point of this hostel is its price, $16/night at the time of this review. I'd planned to stay at an area campground ($15/night) before I luckily stumbled upon the Hiker Hostel. For $1 more per night I received all the aforementioned benefits as well as a hearty, delicious family-style breakfast each morning and the knowledgeable owners of the hostel even gave me some leads on nearby hiking areas, which were spot-on. I would fully recommend this hostel.
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … When I first visited in 2001, my friend brought me blindfolded for a retreat from school (St. Augustine) for the weekend. We explored during the day, picked blueberries for the Farmers Market, sunbathed nude in the lake, held a drum circle in the Glass House, and were ourselves for a brief, splendid weekend. Dirt was clearing the ground for his vision that he later completed beautifully. Ever since, I retreated there whenever possible. Now out in CO, I think of it often with love and miss the people and energy there. Definitely one of my favorite places on Earth.
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … I was there 10 years ago and even today the time I spent there brings back memories with a smile--a big smile. The place was, and still is (as I hear from friends who recently visited), the best place one can go to recharge the inner battery. It's great. It was an experience on its own.

The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … I love this place. I remember the first day I walked up to the front porch, it was the most peaceful feeling I had felt in a long, long time.
The people I have crossed paths with there make up a big part of my life now. I will never be the same.
Atlanta International Hostel in Atlanta … This hostel is one of my favorites and it is so affordable. I have stayed in many hostels acroos the US and definitely think this one is origional, creative, and the staff are really nice and helpful. I can't wait to come back and visit!
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … It is the most wonderful place I've ever been. In the short twenty-four years I've been on this earth, I've traveled a good bit, and no place can even come close in comparison. Browsing the website is all well and good, but you really have to go down there to experience it. Simply walking down the path to the main dome, all your stress just floats away. The staff is super friendly and helpful, and everybody staying there just seems to have the right attitude. They ask you to give a few minutes of your time to help out around the hostel each day, but it really gives you a sense of satisfaction -- helping out, that is. You're giving back what the hostel has given to you. It's really a fantastic place.
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … As soon as I walked onto the property my spine tingled. I call this place heaven on earth, easily the most amazing 130 acres I have ever traversed. Inspiring, beautiful, I could go on for days. You MUST go here at some point in your life!!!
The Hostel in the Forest in Brunswick … I first visited the hostel in November and it seems I've been coming back every other month. It felt like home, I've never been more comfortable staying anywhere other than my own home before. The surroundings are so peaceful and beautiful, the people are so friendly. You'll meet those from all walks of life -- which is the best part to me. The food is excellent and you won't want to leave. Time becomes a distant memory and you won't even miss the 'comforts' of home. I highly recommend staying if you have the chance.
Atlanta International Hostel in Atlanta … I like the place a lot. It was very cosy, simple, and spacious. It has this charm that fails lots of backpackers. It is not for people looking for high standing (beds and bathrooms were old). It the area there were lots of homeless people but I didn't feel in danger at all (though I am a girl).
