My only experience was excellent! I rented a primative cabin in the George Washington National Forest. I went by myself, hiking the 3 miles in December and enjoying the cabin. It was a great trip! I wanted to thank the organization for keeping the 100 year old cabin in good shape, maintaining the cabin, tools, and privy, and for the clear instructions and well organized system. I plan to go to another cabin for a March hike. I highly recommend it.
If no stars was a choice, that would be it. Avoid this organization. There is no transparency in its activities or its finances.
Review from Guidestar
This amazing organization built a 240-mile stretch of the famed Appalachian Trail in the 1920s, and 90 years later, it is still the caretaker for that stretch and hundreds of more miles of trail in the mid-Atlantic region. PATC is notable for its maps and guidebooks, its trailside cabin rentals, and its high-energy volunteer crews that do maintenance work to keep trails in great shape year in and year out. If you love the outdoors, this is a terrific group to join and support.
