    Hello again and an apology

    So sorry to hear of your loss Martha. Lost my mom recently and even though I thought I was fine, I haven't felt like participating either. Just lurking and reading and sympathizing with all. 2017 is just around the corner and hopefully a fresh start for all of us. Meet you on the other side

    One room only

    I don't but another B&B near me does it. Makes it a two night minimum. Works for her.

    I'm a genius ( or I'm not and I just didn't know about this)

    No problem K. I figured that you were just a perfectionist and I was just too tired to be too picky

    Just looking for now...

    I'm with Arks on this one. I BCC myself with every reservation from my site. So far no surprises. Now mind you, I'm pretty slow right now but when I was running at about 95% occupancy, I would have died if someone just showed up without a reservation.

    AirBnB's next venture (beyond lodging)

    Our tourism board has been pushing this for awhile now. People want experiences. They don't just want to go and look at something. They want to be involved. I was at a meeting last week where that's pretty much all we talked about. I actually have a rep from the board coming out to see me to...

    Did you know about this?

    I made up my own template on Reskey that I send only to those guests that said, on their own, that they would be sure to post on trip advisor. Then, I manually put it in the queue for delivery about a week after I think they will get home. Those are 99% five star reviews. I also send it to...

    Makeup :-(

    I roll my black Makeup face cloth so the the word Makeup is clearly visible and then nestle it between two white face cloths. I also supple facial wipes in a plastic container clearly marked as well. Plus cotton pads. Has really cut down in my face cloths being used.

    Innkeeper going home

    I too am going home next week. Can't believe it's been almost a month since mom died. Glad that you could be with your father. Sending big hugs your way.

    Have you ever had this request?

    Yes. Had a guest stay with me this fall that had just lost her black cat of 16 years to illness. Her trip was really a grieving journey. When she heard my Cole call out to her from our quarters she just HAD to see him. And when she discovered I had two black cats she said her visit was meant to...

    Best Vac?

    Love my Dysons. Have one rechargeable one that's light and it goes upstairs with me when I'm doing the rooms over. Only have hardwood and ceramic upstairs. I take the plug with me and plug it in as I'm doing the rooms so it can charge between jobs. Have a canister one that is permanently...

    Now you've gone and done it

    My DH is the epitome of frugal. But that being said....I lost a gold hoop earring once from a set that my parents had brought me back from Mexico when I was very young. They meant alot to me. DH helped me look for it (lost it in a parking lot during winter) and we just couldn't find it. The next...

    It just got a lot tougher for Airbnb to do business NYC

    Couldn't open article. But would love to read it.

    How to respond

    Okay, got a great review on TA. Loved our place and gave us the full five but they got my name wrong. Twice. Now, I don't expect people to remember my name 100% of the time. I'm ahead of the game because I have their names written down. But, that being said, I don't want anyone that reads the...

    I'll have to have a good look at them then. Thanks.

    Credit cards and criminals!

    I lower my rates because anyone travelling in my area in the off-season deserves a medal! If not the medal at least a reduction in my rates. Any bookings I get then are nice just to off-set my expenses and I do cooked to order meals then too to bring in a little extra income. Too busy in the...

    Hotel Bonanza

    This post is for those who use OTAs. I know not everyone agrees with them but at this stage of the game, they still help me fill rooms. Just got an email from a new OTA (at least to me) from Hotel Bonanza. Offering 8% commission and reportedly nothing more. Ever. Looks like a UK site. Looks a...

    Here it goes

    Well, I got the inevitable phone call yesterday. My mother had broken her hip a few weeks ago and went through surgery. She wasn't responding well, but after a few days and a change in medication, she finally opened her eyes. They transferred her back to the nursing home where they would feed...
