I would like to thank all of my customers and friends that I have met through the years in which stayed with us at The Sapphire Inn . It was the home of the April Hiker Fool Bash for 12 years. With many memories of Appalachian Trail Hikers that we grew to know since 2003 - I just sold the Motel this morning. I do still have the Budget Inn of Franklin, NC and Hiawassee, Ga. Also we will have The Penny Pincher Hostel in Franklin, NC which has laundry, computer printer for Smokey Permits, and next season we will have an outfitter. Thanks again for all who have stayed with us.
