    Congrats Ron. I'm glad that Hiawassee Inn will be hiker friendly once again. Good luck and thanks for all the hard work.

    Ron, have you considered doing a courier service between Hiawassee and Franklin for bounce boxes. I am not usually a bounce box person because of the price of postage, but if you could do something for like 2 bucks I would be interested.

    If this continues, we'll have to change the name to "The Haven's Budget Trail"!

    Congrats Ron, you're good people.

    Congrats! I stayed there in 1999 and was sad when I read that it closed. I thought it was a nice place. I wish you the best.

    Jester,sorry I missed you when you come thru the other day.

    Friends,the closing went well and I am officially the owner and I thank all of you for your congradulations and hope to open a great hiker service in Hiawassee.Unfortunatly I can't get the electric,water,cable tv,credit card machine and the phone all turned on until Monday March 8th.I am still hoping to be open mid next week.

    By the way the phone listed in the guide books is the same number I will get which is 706-896-4121

    Ron Haven has done business the RIGHT WAY... ALL THE WAY! And, all the time! I don't believe you know much of him, or the trail & services in this area. If you met Ron, you would change your mind in a second. I volunteer with him a few weeks almost each year, and his businesses do ONE THING.. SUCCEED

    Now from Hiawassee to Franklin.. PLENTY of Miles & Smiles
