Len Foote Hike Inn is a first class adventure. No disappointments. Our expectations for clean, hospitable, trail side accommodations were exceeded.
Plentiful and hardy meals were enjoyed in the dining hall with "family style" service.
Highly recommended for those seeking a comfortable night while enjoying the beautiful Appilacian Trail.

The Hike Inn is a perfect quick trip for us from Atlanta. the 5 mile hike in is "just tough" enough. You travel up & down several small mountains on safe trails (although- you must watch the trail for rocks & roots). We stayed 1 night. We arrived around 4:30- in time to relax on the big porch. We enjoyed a huge buffet style meal of roast beef, corn casserole, & salad. There are no tv's. You are asked to refrain from using your cell phone. They want you to relax, unwind, and enjoy nature. We had kids from 11-18 with us and they all had a blast! The bath house & bunk rooms were clean. We'll be back again.

I've been trying to get my husband into Backpacking, but he has an issue with the lack of showers while roughing it - the Hike Inn made a great compromise and introduction to backpacking for him. We were able to enjoy the short 5 mile hike over easy/moderate terrain, then relax in comfort and cleanliness...plus we didn't have to cook!

The 2-person bunk rooms are very small, but we only spent time in the room while changing or sleeping. All other time was spent in the "sunrise room" playing board games and doing puzzles, in the dining room eating excellent food, or wandering around the grounds taking in the great views. We went on a weekend where we were among a very small minority of folks not in a huge group (there was a group of 14 and a group of 11 or 12), so we didn't have much interaction with other hikers like we were hoping, but I think people are normally more interactive.

If you happen to go yourself, I'd suggest: 1) take your own blanket or sleeping bag if you get cold at night (the provided blankets may not be warm enough during the winter), 2) try all of the food, even if you've never heard of it (we were introduced to a great 'spoon bread' at breakfast), 3) bring any old games or puzzles you no longer use at home (they'll certainly get used at the Hike Inn).

After hiking 5 miles from Amicalola State Park to get to the inn, my husband and I were pleased to be welcomed like old friends. The staff was friendly, the scenery beautiful, the food excellent and plentiful, the accommodations rustic - but the showers were hot and we had everything we needed! The only down side for us - bunk beds are the only option here. Thanksgiving dinner was a real treat and meeting many interesting people was an added bonus we had not anticipated. Great place for hiking, reading, watching the sun rise, and getting away from phones (there's a no cell phone rule!) and television. Go to the Hike Inn and unplug!
