Another chapter of Chalfonte 150: Stories From the Porch🤍

This time, we’re sitting down with Jim “Cricket” Satterfield, whose family’s history with the Chalfonte dates back to 1911, when his great-grandmother, Susie Satterfield, purchased the hotel.

Over the years, Cricket has remained close to the Chalfonte, forming lifelong friendships and continuing to share the stories, memories and history of his family’s time here.
