Yes, this is truly good news. Congrats Ron and I hope you keep the place packed, I plan to get up there as much as possible. You might consider catering to hunters there in OCT/NOV.
hey that's great news Ronnie, I'll be comin thru there in early April, will be lookin for that shuttle to Hiawassee. The hiking business must be good!
The more I think about it.That is a good Idea for people in Hiawassee who will be my guest in Franklin too,for me to carry mail drops from Hia to Fra because I will be traveling back and forth each day.
Outstanding....Life on the AT just got better...have enjoyed your services in Franklin...just sorry I have already passed Hiawassee....looking forward to using your services again in a month or so as I work my way towards NOC....thanks....cheers.
FYI - the Holiday Inn Express no longer has "Hiker Rates" - it's $79 for a room for two people.
Congratulations Ron, my wife and I stayed at your place 4 years ago. You took us all over town while we did laundry and got grocerys. Treated us like one of your own. I'm sure you've done that for countless other hikers. Thanks Ron.
Hey Ron, Just a bit of trivia:
I'm distantly related to all the Moodys in Western NC and Georgia. There's a place in Hiawassee that is call "Moody Hollar". It is named after my great-uncle Wiley, who built a lot of the homes there.
BTW, my last name isn't Moody, but I am moody a lot.

I am planning to be in that area approximately the 3rd week of April. Hope to stay there and see you then.

Drive Time..
Congrats Ron! How long is the drive time between Hiawassee and your Budget Inn location in Franklin? Just curious..
about 50 minutes
That's a truly thoughtful and kind offer. Thanks, Ron.--Kinnickinic

you should make some Haven Shirts with your campaign slogan for folks to wear.
Thatd be awesome.
That might get me a few votes
That's about right.
Will be our pleasure
I have dropped the rates at the Hiawassee Inn.No one has gave me any crap in Hiawassee but I don't see it or Helen,Ga as a hiker friendly town.That is about to change.
when you pass again you can stop by.
Thanks Toenail,We try to treat hikers like family.
Last week I had the pleasure of staying at the Hiawassee Inn. Ron offered a very clean room, allowed me to do my laundry, and provided a shuttle back to the trail for a very reasonable rate. Ron himself checked me in and shared plans to make the facility even more hiker friendly next year (laundry room, computer access, and stocking basic hiker supplies).
I highly recommend the Hiawassee Inn to other hikers moving through the area!
On my slow trek north I have already passed Hiawassee...but have Franklin in my sights in a couple of weeks....already made reservations at Haven's Budget Inn and shuttle reservations with Mr. Havens....Deep Gap to NOC. Looking forward to my next adventure! cheers all..
