Neel gap, Helen GA, Hiwasee inn,Ron Havens, NOC, Cabin in the Woods,Inn at Fontana, Gatlinburg, Standing Bear, Sunnybank, Hemlock Hollow, UncleJohnny's,GreasyCreekFriendly, Mountain Harbour B&B, Kincora, Braemar Castle, Damascus....pretty soon you'll be able to hike the whole AT without even camping out.

Wasn't that the original vision for the AT?

trail budget. $2500 for hikers, $10,000 for hotel and hostel hoppers. On the plus side look at all the money you could save in gear. You wont need a tent, a hammock, a sleeping bag, a stove.... A water bottle and a fanny pack would about cover it. Seriously I wish you great success. Its nice to have the option of stepping of the trail wherever you are should the need or desire arise.
