    Default Franklin

    Hi,

    Doing my spring section in a couple of weeks, re-supplying in Franklin, NC.

    Question: Is Haven's Budget Inn the best place to stay in Franklin? If not, then where?

    I've heard some great things about Haven's, just wanted to throw it out.

    Also, Three Eagles Outfitters - Okay to ship food to?

    Thanks.

    Ron Haven is the best in town and you can send shipments to his place. Franklin is a good size town with all the food you will need, walmart, kmart, ingles, and many others. Ron also shuttles from his hotels to any of these places you need to go.

    Ron Haven is the best person to put you up while in Frankiln. He will also pick you up at US 64 and shuttle you where ever you need to go. Plus Ron can tell you about the area that you are in.

    Cant say enough good things about Ron Haven.

    I stay at the Sapphire Inn, also owned by Ron. But you can't go wrong whatever you do, he is THE man in Franklin.

    King Bed is correct; Smoking; and in all likelihood, Single Occupancy, barring some sort of miracle........

    Jack,we are booked in King bed smoking rooms so I had Rm #27 smoking with double beds.Trail friends you aren't obligated to stay in a room to attend the bash.You can tent,come in for the day or what ever you want.I have 50 rooms available if you like to reserve.In case we fill up,I will shuttle you to another motel to assure lodging for you who don't reserve.(828)524-4403 is Sapphire Inn

    I am quite sure there is not. But you can call Ron to find the closest station.
