The end of an era. Thanks to all of the hikers I have met in Franklin, NC through the years. I sold Budget Inn today. I will still have the Baltimore Jack Hostel in Franklin with bunks $20 1st night or 2 nights for $35. Also private rooms, 2 double beds or single with one queen bed starting at only $39.99.. All very nice and clean. We will be open in 2018 again from Late February to May. Full outfitter run by trusted name, "Three Eagles", full shuttle services from Atlanta to Hot Springs..
