I love this! My husband & I (well, mostly me) are always keeping our eyes open for properties near trail (specifically here in PA). I have grand ideas of maybe opening an AT hostel someday, so this is a great way to see what is involved on the daily! You guys do it SO WELL!!!
@ChicaandSunsets Жыл бұрын
Hi Alicia! Thank you so much. Indeed lots of hikers tell us they want to do a hostel some day, and ask what’s involved…. Thought this was a good way to show. 😀

I really enjoy your hiker chats around the breakfast table. You have earned a great reputation, and it was good to see what goes in to running a top of the line hostel !!! Keep up the good work :)

Would love to own a small hostel like yours…. That would be awesome! I have had the pleasure of meeting Sunsets at Outdoor 76 a few years ago. I’ve heard nothing but great things about you guys and your hostel.

This was an incredible vlog about your "real" lives. -- Many of your guests have already proclaimed it -- now we can join them -- Chica and Sunsets are Amazing "Angels". -- Your Film Creation (the quality and entertainment factor) of this production is "top notch" also -- loved the music -- perspectives --- and choices (like fast forward motion) in your editing.

This is so great! Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind some financial questions... Are you semi-retired and this is your only income stream now? After all the expenses, does it generate enough income to live off of or offset your mortgage?
@ChicaandSunsets Жыл бұрын
Yes we are semi-retired, but this is not our only source of income (if it was, this would not provide enough to live on).
@Karen-dq8nw Жыл бұрын
So is there one kitchen for the hikers and a separate one for breakfast that is in your living space? Your hostel looks lovely! I wonder though, being a solo female hiker, it could be kind of weird and uncomfortable to have a male hiker show up that will share a room. Is that ever an issue? I have stayed in hostels where there are mixed genders, but there are lots of people. I love staying in hostels, but I don't think i have the energy to run one!
