Hiawassee Inn Update

[Ron Haven]

Trail Friends,

I have waited til now to pass this info.I will be the new owner of the Hiawassee Inn tomorrow morning.After running My Winding Stair Shuttle I am heading for Hiawassee to close the deal with the bank.I haven't said anything because anytime you are dealing in a foreclosure anything can happen.

My attorney advise me that everything was waiting for my signature tomorrow morning.If I can get the water & electric on tomorrow also I have my crew ready to hit it wide open.We are hoping to be open to rent rooms by next weekend.

I have already bought another bus and an extra van to give the same hiker service in Hiawassee as I have gave for the last 10 years in Franklin.I will have a free morning shuttle from Unicoi Gap & Dicks Creek Gap into Hiawassee and a return shuttle back to the trail in the morning.

They are some great local shuttlers in the area for slack packing or for my guest you can catch the bus.We will also be accepting free guest mail drops.Although I have computers for my guest in all three of my motels in Franklin,I may not have that at first in Hiawassee but the library is only a few hundred feet away.I am looking forward to serving you.

I will be listing the new phone number of Hiawassee Inn as soon as I get it.If you need info you can call Haven's Budget Inn of Franklin. http:/FranklinBudgetInn.Com/

For a little early on,this is the last season it will be Hiawassee Inn.I am going to Change the name to Budget Inn and the website will be http://HiawasseeBudgetInn.Com
I have plans to make space to accommodate more hikers than before. thanks Ron

Most businesses fail in the first year. This will never work.

[Mrs Baggins]

Congrats Ron! Always grand to know there's a friendly face and good name to call on!

Why the negativity? It's not like Ron's a novice at running motels - he knows what he's doing.
