A ferret? Really? And with Air, I don't have a CC number.
I am so sorry you had a cretin in your gorgeous place. Everything was so beautiful and perfect. Luxury all the way. I guess the ***** never herd of a crate if she insists on traveling with a demon destructo. It may pass muster for the average person, but YOU will see every scratch forever. So sad.- gillumhouse

Unhappy Guests Want Discount
Her room, her car, the porch..... lots of places to make/take a phone call. YOU are not responsible for a guest's work requirements. (Take her to the dining room - it is a room. Lounge not promised.)- gillumhouse

Mattress Questions
I do not know what brand it is - we used to have a mattress factory in Huntington, WV and I bought from them on the advice of the innkeeper that USED to be in our County Seat. 26 years ago I bought pillowtop mattresses - the kind that are pillowtop BOTH sides. The full-size are long gone -...- gillumhouse

Unhappy Guests Want Discount
The answer is no! They knew there was going to be a wedding and reception. reception = NOISE & MUSIC! That should have been a tip-off in advance that a before dinner nap may not be possible. Perhaps they should have brought (or asked for) ear plugs. Years ago (before my B & B) I reserved 2...- gillumhouse

Happy Mother's Day
Whether your babies have two legs or four, may you have a very Happy Mother's Day. Mother's Day was started by Anna Jarvis in Grafton, West Virginia, about 25 miles from my house. During the Civil War, General George McClellan had his Headquarters during the planning of the Battle of Philippi...- gillumhouse

Mine have dwindled to nothing basically. Too many supercharges along the Interstate. At least Tesla paid for them and the installation so I have no complaints.- gillumhouse

Reservation Software
Have had ReservationKey for years. It has lots of bells & whistles, EASY to use, a forum that answers questions as well as great tech support, and the best part is it has a tiered fee system according to number of rooms - I do not pay with 3-rooms what a 10-room pays (makes a huge difference in...- gillumhouse

Pursuing a B&B
Jim makes a good point with the WHY? I also neglected to mention decide what you expect the B & B to do for you. To explain what I mean by that: since I am in "Podunk" with 3-rooms, ALL I expected and asked of my B & B was to pay the expenses of the house. It has done that and more. IF I was not...- gillumhouse

Pursuing a B&B
Those costs will differ according to location. From discussions here in the past, what some pay in real estate taxes for 1 year would cover mine for more than 10 years. Utility costs also vary. Those costs will be part of what the broker can tell you. Teal estate ads that I see here give...- gillumhouse

Pursuing a B&B
First - WHERE do you want to live? THIS is important because this is whre you will spend most of your time. I made a life for myself in the flatland but was not HAPPY until I got back to my hills. That is what I mean. If you are beach people, do not look in the mountains or the desert. To truly...- gillumhouse

Hello from Wales!
Try weaning from them by giving them one room less. Cut back 1 room at a time to see what happens to your occupancy. Use Social Media posts (NOT ads) about what you do and what is happening in your area to stir up interest and get yourself out there. BedPosts is a Forum in the UK and they have...- gillumhouse
