    The Beast Is Back

    I chat with my innkeeping pals from my old town. They are generally running in the 90-100% occupancy range right now, but they have seen cancellations because guest flights were Covid-canceled. Totally agree this did not have to happen. I generally don’t wish bad things on people, but geez...

    Sleeper Sofas & Futons

    Do you need them for one extra person or more? We found just having a twin bed in the room worked well. It can be set up as a daybed if not needed for sleeping.

    I got an email from them about this. Even tho I can no longer log in to read the emails. It’s even possible they are still using the inn name for marketing. I haven’t checked.

    Ring doorbell question

    We didn’t think to do that. We may have to go with the other options of having it reset when we change the account on the WiFi. Or, just taking the battery out and leaving the device as a deterrent.

    Ring doorbell question

    I’ll check on the ring site. Thanks. I did see something there about resetting it which seemed like anyone could walk up to the door and shut the whole thing off just by pushing the reset button.

    Hard to know where to look

    It is tough when someone is so deliberately different. I’ve asked guests about some tattoos, but I don’t get the purpose in the random markings for the sake of marking the body.

    Ring doorbell question

    The house we are hoping to buy has a ring device. How do we turn it off? The sellers have already moved out and we don't know if they are available to help with this. We're pretty boring people but we still don't need the sellers keeping an eye on us. ;-)

    Internet TV?

    We’ve asked the people who own the house we’re buying to leave the manuals, please. We left a huge box of manuals for the people who bought the inn. All the serial numbers are on there so they don’t have to crawl around trying to find them. Plus, for the keypads they need the code to change the...

    Internet TV?

    I have 5 grandchildren who fit the tech bill. Plus, Gomez reads the manuals.

    Internet TV?

    So, the house we’re moving to does not have satellite or cable but it does have wicked fast internet. The present owners have Roku. What other internet TV options have you used? What’s the best way to choose? i realize we’re late to the game and it’s possible the TV we have is too old. (Well...

    Guess I'll Keep My COVID Policies!

    I’d probably skip this for a while longer. As long as you’re not finding damage at checkout, you’re better off keeping yourselves safer.

    Marketing, names, how much does it make a difference?

    I do think Airbnb has co-opted and degraded the bed and breakfast mystique. When we were for sale a realtor told us she owned a ‘b&b.’ When I got excited and asked her which one, she back-pedaled and said she rents rooms on air. But, she wanted to pick my brain and went through all the...

    Marketing, names, how much does it make a difference?

    Sounds like you thought it thru and went with the name that made the most sense. I would definitely assume your place would be in the ‘log cabin’ category given the name.

    Guess I'll Keep My COVID Policies!

    We’re also going back to wearing a mask when in a store or any other crowded space. My son travels a lot for work and he got sick. He was thankful he had gotten the vaccine because he said it was awful. Unfortunately, no one knows what the long term consequences are of getting even a lesser...

    Upstairs Guests and Heavy Shoes

    I’ve been known to not strip the wallpaper behind the fridge. So that means I also didn’t paint back there. We were going to, just for fun, strip the wallpaper in the guest rooms without removing the full length mirrors. Then paint, leaving the wallpaper as a reminder what things used to be. Of...

    Marketing, names, how much does it make a difference?

    Yes, it makes a difference! If I saw ‘boutique hotel’ I’d be thinking along the same lines as Jim — pricey and trendy. But, I would also think it would be more like a hotel with less interaction. All things being the same, I’d pick the boutique hotel. (For the reasons GS gives — our unique niche...

    Upstairs Guests and Heavy Shoes

    We ripped up the carpet because it was filthy. There was a variety of wood types on the floor. Lots of paint splatter, quite a bit of damage. Had it been our personal space, we would have worked on the wood. But, given what you’ve said about needing to think about other people, we put new carpet...

    Upstairs Guests and Heavy Shoes

    High heels and cowboy boots were killer noise makers! Even with area rugs, every time those shoes hit the hardwood floor, I cringed.
