After thru hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2008 the trail became a part of our lives forever. In 2015 the opportunity arose to truly become an integral part of this national treasure.
Along with our spirited children and trail dog, we have made Shaw’s in Monson, Maine our new home. Our home is your home!

We will make every effort to help you along your hike. Relax and enjoy a cold Maine craft beer or soda with us and share a story. We love hearing about your hike!
The Shaw’s famous breakfast has been a trail legacy since the 70s. Old man Shaw used to as if you wanted a 2×2, 3×3, or 4×4. That was the number of eggs, bacon, and pancakes he would heap on your plate. Today, we serve a solid 3×3 to every guest and enhance the experience with thick cut bacon, all you can eat wild Maine blueberry pancakes, and Poet’s famous home fries. Poet’s home fries are made with extra virgin olive oil, sweet onions, Maine potatoes, garlic, and Himalayan pink salt.

Rooms
Our rates are reasonably priced! Our rooms are “clean, uncomplicated and authentic,” according to one of our favorite, regularly lodging guests! Our rooms are generally rented by the “bed” not the room unless you are requesting and paying for a private room. This is to allow for the most rentals possible during our busy seasons (June through early October) and the most cost effective sleeping arrangement for our guests. While not upscale, you will feel right at home in our fully furnished private and shared rooms.
Hostel-esque or European style is a good way to describe the lodging area: all three bedrooms share the common area with couches and some basic kitchen facilities as well as a shared bathroom (two shared bathrooms in the summer – one upstairs in the hostel and the other in the first floor restaurant’s dining room). We have two stacked washer/dryers as well ($5 per wash/dry; includes detergent).
We have three bedrooms which total 9 beds at present with current Off-Season pricing:
- Twin beds/bunks are $30 per person.
- Full beds or Queen bed for a shared room are $50.
- Private room $100/night.
- The whole floor can be rented for $250 per night.
- For more than 4 people per room $15 extra for a 5th person.
- All rooms add 9% tax.
Scroll down to see the configuration of each of our rooms!
WiFi is free, and the entire building is Wireless! The cell phone coverage can be spotty, but is getting better all the time. Monson has high speed fiber optic internet now. Verizon booster on site. A kitchenette in the shared lounge offers a mini-fridge, coffee maker, microwave, basic dishes, and utensils. The living room has a television with a DVD/VCR player and Amazon Fire stick. There are also numerous videos from all genres. The shelves are lined with books, puzzles, and games. There are ample cozy spots for reading and relaxing. Each room is unique and offers the comforts of home for the active vacationer. There are also plenty of fans!
Bathrooms
We have one bathroom on the second floor where the bedrooms are and, during summer peak months, one more full bath on the first floor where the restaurant is. We take pride in having clean, well-stocked bathrooms that include towels, shampoo, conditioner, soap, hair dryer, Epsom salt, and foot baths.
- For non-lodging guests requesting a shower, it is $5 for a shower.
Common Area
The common area is long and skinny, but has great comfy seating, a TV and an epic VHS collection. We have lots of sewing stuff, games, puzzles, cards, books, and great conversation. We want you to feel right at home in this space! Carpets replaced in 2018, so we have a “no hiking boot” rule (please). There is a nice long porch you can sit on with a very long clothes line that you are welcome to use.

- For non-lodging guests to receive packages $5 per package.

We are a small, family owned business that was established by Mike and Judy Fiorentino. The pair had a dream of owning a campground and in 1995, they made that dream a reality. They were living in Florida at the time and visiting Amicalola Falls State Park with their children and some friends when they came across the property that is now Under The Hemlock. They bought the property, moved their family to Georgia, and got to work. Mike and Judy built their family home, the country store, a bath house, and three cabins all by milling wood from trees cut on the property. This truly was a labor of love and something they knew would be their legacy in life. Now 30 years later, they’re able to have their children and grandchildren be involved. We’d love to have you visit our little oasis and explore all the wonderful attractions nearby. Some of those include Amicalola Falls State Park, Burt’s Pumpkin Farm, Ellijay Apple country, Blue Ridge and the famous downtown of Dahlonega. We hope to see you real soon!
