    Online Check-In

    If they arrive at all, ask for their email or phone number as they are required to answer the questions before entry. Say you’ll send it again as they don’t seem to have seen the link the other three times. Tell them to ring the bell again after they’ve submitted the form. Close the door. We...

    Best of times/worst of times?

    I was supposed to go visit a grandkid for parents weekend at college. I’m still hesitating because the college is in an area that has fully embraced the theory that the virus is no worse than a cold and parents have refused to vaccinate and have protested mask wearing. The college requires...

    Netflix's documentary 'The Voyeur' about a peeping innkeeper. Creepy, creepy!

    So, we just moved into a motel while we wait for the movers to bring our furniture. This is not making me a happy camper. 😉

    Netflix's documentary 'The Voyeur' about a peeping innkeeper. Creepy, creepy!

    I remember reading either a book or a short story like this. The guy used to crawl through the attic. He was very upset when one couple turned off the lights and he couldn’t see them. Went outside, pulled his car up to the windows, turned on the headlights, then went back to the attic. Yes, it...

    Going in alone

    If you are creating a b&b out of thin air from a house you have a huge project ahead of you. But, you also have the ability to create something really special. If you’re checking local pricing at hotels, check what they offer as well. Honestly, where we were there was absolutely no way we could...

    My poor daughter-in-law… before I knew there was a ‘thing’ about Karen I bought her a birthday card because I thought it was cute that it had her name on it. SO glad I decided not to send that one…

    Rates here are some of the highest in the area. I know the local hotels (think Hampton, etc) are asking close to $600/night on weekends. The b&b’s have gone up between $30-50/night. It won’t last so they’re taking advantage now. If you have a big fall season you might want to consider a price...

    Best of times/worst of times?

    Maybe that’s a big part of it. Lots of people have reevaluated their life and what they want from it. Less crap for one thing.

    Best of times/worst of times?

    My experience (ending in June) was almost 100% positive. However, the last group we had, a group I rescheduled our closing to accommodate, were really rude. Nothing we did was good enough. I suppose it made it easier to lock the door behind them. 😉 (I was totally sympathetic to this group...

    Best of times/worst of times?

    I’ve been hearing from the innkeeper cohort in my old town that this year is on track to break all records for revenue and occupancy. And to break all records for most obnoxious guests. Now, *I* know all about obnoxious guests, but some of these stories are just too much. Are you finding this...

    Why do they always eat the garnish first?

    Another unscientific study says if you put the garnish on the plate you throw it out an hour later. Hardly anyone ever ate the garnish no matter what it was. In your case it’s probably because it just looks yummy!

    Ring doorbell question

    There are boring people everywhere… we can’t let down the side by moving away now! Besides, I’ve spent all this time developing my New England accent. 😉

    Ring doorbell question

    Seller volunteered to help get it set up after the closing. Sent a nice list with the names of everyone we’ll need to know right away.

    We finally did it!

    Good luck!
