-Stayed here over memorial day weekend and it was a full house....but didn't feel like it. Lots of…read morepeople stopping by for 1 night which is totally fine, just don't expect anyone to be especially social here. -The building itself really needs to have work done. The ceiling is peeling/cracking/sinking in multiple rooms. The bathrooms have broken tiles in the shower/problems flushing. It was suggested that their was free breakfast (and it does say "really, its a VERY SMALL breakfast" but literally what was free was black tea bags, coffee grounds, rice, and maple syrup..... so i don't even know why it was included unless to trick people. -I stayed in the all female room and it was great! Requested a bottom bunk and got one, room was nice and cool temperature wise. -The staff volunteers keep the place very clean but......are really weird. Hate to say this, but I've travelled the world at hostels and have never met more offputting staff. When I checked in (which is on your own, totally fine) I walked into the building to see 2 people sitting on the couch. I said hi to them, and they both just looked at me like I was bothering them, and went back to their phones.....ok...odd...but guests sometimes aren't social no worries.....only for me to learn a bit later that they were the staff volunteers. Others in the hostel had similar experiences, one girl in my room thought the guy didn't even speak English because when she originally checked in he responded in a different language and walked away leaving her confused as heck. Just super odd, and gave me a sour taste about this place. ALSO, when i found out they were staff and had been here for 3 weeks, I had asked for food recs/hikes/ things to do and they literally said "yea, I don't do anything so IDK"....like.....just super freaking weird. -all this to be said, I would still recommend this place, but really you are getting a very isolated experience on just a place to sleep. don't expect anything more.

She was very open to help me whenever I needed it, from a little guidance around town to washing my clothes so I had fresh ones. The campground was clean and the cabin was roomy.

There is so much supplies in the kitchen and I never had problems with someone taking my food from the fridge.

The lodge is wheelchair accessible, woth a room that has a roll in shower. Tight fit around corners, but my bulky chair navigated it all, and the weekend was amazing.

There are seating areas with lovely views, kitchen and dining areas, library space, old piano, and so many nifty nooks and so many touches of ambience.

The proprietors are genuine, inviting folks offering refreshments, pizza, and other odds and ends. The store is quaint but great for those travelling the Appalachian Trail or exploring the backroads. There is a wonderful, large covered porch looking right over the crystal clear creek where one can eat, drink, and rest. They invited us to walk the grounds and take a look at the cabins. Each was only a few feet from the creek with a nice porch and amenities like grills, fire pits, and a common bathhouse. The cabins were clean, fresh, and inviting. They also offer hiker shuttle services between Hot Springs and Erwin. We ate our pizza and enjoyed great conversation with the owners and a neighbor. We will be sure to stop at Hemlock Hollow regularly!

I am a pretty big guy but fit comfortably on the extended twin mattress. The mattress left something to be desired , but ultimately I slept better than I normally do at hotels because after 11:00, lights go out and it is quiet hours, which all of the other residents abide by. You can't beat the price and location, in the heart of the tourist district, just blocks from the drum circle park and Harrahs arena.

Sweet Peas offers a great product: great price, great location, and good clean, safe, lodging…read more I think its fair to say the following: Asheville is a tourist destination-and lots of people come to Asheville for many different reasons, and everyone needs lodging. With most homeowners prohibited by local zoning to rent out their homes via Airbnb for short term stays, and with limited hotels within the downtown area, Sweet Peas provides travelers with surprisingly affordable lodging for those seeking an alternative to the chain hotels. Sweet Peas is right downtown, in the midst of the all the things that brings one to Asheville: shopping, music, sports, outdoor fun, and...food-you are in walking distance to any and all of these pleasures you seek. I'm a repeat visitor. It's an ideal spot for me when I visit town 3-5 times a year for the price and location. If you have stayed in a hostel before, you know this is a decent hostel. If you haven't, please-don't compare to a hotel. There are varieties of ages present-young, middle, old, all here for different reasons. There will be people to build community with, or, you can hide in your bunk-and that's ok. There is no alcohol allowed, and quiet times between 11 pm and 7 am. The staff are friendly, efficient, and will provide you towels etc. There is a fridge (but know its usually pretty full) and coffee pot and kitchen area. I've found when traveling, its best to travel hopefully, and I've also found then when staying at a hostel, remain hopeful and positive, and you'll love your experience when doing so. My next visit is in a couple of weeks, and I look forward to the respite of Sweet Peas.
