    A lodging tax increase

    Oh, Gillum. If only you weren't so far away. I'm not too busy and I could help you out. I don't think people get it when one of us gets sick. We have to put on that face and keep smiling. I had an unexpected root canal last week and I was so fortunate that I didn't have anyone for a few days...

    Inn or B&B

    There is another B&B with the same name in Yellowknife, NWT. We get a good number of Asian people that want to see the northern lights and book with us. Especially through the OTAs. I make my confirmation email very clear as to which one they are booking (in a nice way) with explicit directions...

    Do you have a 'curfew'?

    What time do you tell your guests that they basically have to shut things down? I had a couple here last night that were sitting in my dining room (with my permission of course), eating a take out meal that they brought with them. They had a few drinks and then went to their room about...

    A lodging tax increase

    We just had a provincial tax hike from 13 to 15% starting July 1st. Ouch. Our lovely HST.

    Getting out of the house

    If we step out, it's usually after the check in cut off time. I let the guests know when I check them in that we will be gone but leave my cell number in case of emergency. I tell them that they're 'innsitting for me'. We're usually back before they turn in and we let them know we're home. No...

    Odd comments or questions

    Where can I get to the water? I' m on a narrow neck on a peninsula--I'm surrounded by water. No, no. Get down INTO the water. It's November, about 5C outside. These people were from Finland and Siberia. They wanted to go swimming. I said they could walk down any hill pretty much, and dive right...

    How much do you cook in advance?

    I bake fresh every morning, unless it is a breakfast bread, then I make that the night before so I can ice it the next morning. Dry and wet ingredients measured night before. Everything has been defrosted. I usually cut my fruit first thing then start thinking about the order of breakfast then...

    Am I overly sensitive on this review?

    Thank you Dumitru for a ver informative article. In our first season, I got a less than 'stellar' review that upset me. Like you, it was still a four star, but I wanted to be perfect. So, I let some time go by and made sure that I responded in a positive way. I thanked the guest for choosing...

    "It's so hard to find a job."

    I don't know how you South of the Borders do it. My dad was in and out of hospital for the last five or so years of his life. It would have bankrupted my parents. We pay a supplement for extras and DH does that grudgingly. I'd hate to have to decide to go without.

    Today is (supposed to be) THE Day!

    I can hear the theme of 'Jeopardy' playing in my head.

    How much are you into wine?

    A topic close to my heart. We lived a half hour away from the Niagara wine region and took advantage of it regularly. And whenever I go back for a visit, my old posses of girls do a wine tour of our favourites plus a new one or two. 1. At least one glass a day. Reds in winter, and mostly...

    You have a big heart. I hope I'll remember this and rise to the occasion when it's my turn.

    How are the reservations going?

    So far our June is above what it was last year and it's only March 1st. Looking good for my other months too. So far this year (Jan and February) above last so we had a healthy increase. Only our third season. Ask me again at the end of year 5

    CVV Codes

    When guests book directly, res key asks for it. I get it. My Allocator gets it from my OTAs. I had to specially request it from Booking last year.

    Who would do this?!?

    I'm thankful that DH will do ours. He's my Groundskeeper Willie--my go to man!
