Celebrating Our Beloved Co-Founder
Honoring Sally Fesperman
Sally Fesperman and her husband, Jay, opened The Inn of Last Resort in 1971. Together they spent their lives ministering to couples and families, bringing the Kingdom of God a little closer to earth.
Jay went on to glory in 1992, and Sally joined him on January 19, 2025, at the age of 98. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed to know her.

The Inn of Last Resort
Our Smoky Mountain sanctuary offers a retreat that fosters healing and renewal for anyone whose soul is tired and weary. Restoring families, discipling young people and healing the broken are the bedrocks of our ministry.
