Mark I. Pinsky, religion writer for the Orlando Sentinel, has a column in 18 June 2007's Asheville Citizen Times titled "
Elmer Hall’s milestones: A journey into 4 decades of food, nature, spirituality." The coumn begins
"One by one, speakers were called to the porch of Sunnybank Inn, a creaky old building overlooking the Appalachian Trail and the French Broad River in Hot Springs, well known to weekend vacationers and AT through-hikers.
"After an organic feast in April, we stepped up to talk about Elmer Hall, celebrating his 70th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the inn’s restoration."
Maybe you've been there. Could be, as Pinsky writes further on that
"What I have observed over time is that Hall’s favorites were (and are) the Appalachian Trail’s through-hikers, as eclectic a collection as one is likely to encounter this side of the Khyber Pass. A small percentage of his hiking guests stayed on, for a few weeks to a few years, working at the inn for their keep."
Do a search for "Sunnybank Inn" on the Internet and you'll find loads of journals, blogs, and so on that mention the place.
