    Squatters

    We are a small town too. The local library has free wifi and bathrooms. Wifi is accessible from the street out side the library 24/7.

    Failing to believe

    I suspect that many are renting houses they got on air or vrb o. Many homeowners are letting their places go for 3-4 nights at discount rates.

    Anyone ever try this?

    This sounds very reasonable as long as they don't feel that they are getting relegated to a "plague" room!

    Hospitality & Travel Management Lodging Operations Certificate -- Helpful? Worth it?

    Me too...BS in Chemistry with minor in Education. At that time they did not accept women into the School of Engineering! But Momma and Beachie you are just kids. Our class all saved their beanies...class of '69, Knowlton. Our freshman year women still had curfews! We blazed quite a trail for...

    People who want to rent all your rooms

    We say "Sorry, we do not rent the house to a group, but ..." and then we proceed to recommend someone who does. Period. End of discussion.

    No, and no.

    2-night minimum for entire house. No discount, or tack on an extra, refundable fee for trash removal and security deposit for groups.

    Sounds like you made it through with your sanity intact.

    This is a very old thread!

    Fruit course - what's your specialty? Simple or extravagant?

    This year, since we were reducing our schedule, I needed some fruit ideas that would last for the several weeks without spoiling. This banana yogurt not only used my extra bananas and extra Greek yogurt, it stayed in the freezer for over a month! It was great as a topping for our fresh berry...

    I Did It!

    So jealous! I still have a pile of napkins in my closet, staring me in the face as they wait to be ironed. Congratulations on a job completed...rare for an innkeeper ever to be done!

    A confusing request

    Seashanty, I think we are in the same state. If the check was for $250 (not certain about the limit) written on a closed account from this state, then you can charge the person with a felony. The jerk who tried to stiff us had initials TC and was known in the Big City suburban areas to...

    A confusing request

    We have had one bad check in 28 years...and that one was ultimately paid back before the court date. We do not take credit cards and it has made our life much simpler. But we would never give a refund for deposit in exchange for a new check. That deposit money is ours. Period.

    Make-up!

    Looking for these?

    You had ONE job!

    Beach, so sorry for the loss of your Dad. Try to take some time for yourself. Grieving kind of sneaks up on you if you ignore it.

    Charge extra for one night stay?

    Short answer...what ever you think you can get without losing the reservation or your sanity. We have a 3-night minimum but occasionally will give a 2-night reservation if we don't think we can get the full 3 nights or if we need a break. $25/night rate increase for a shorter stay. We never...

    Seth Gives Advice - Applicable to Bad Reviews

    I had a world traveler give us a 4* review. While it was not a bad review (we have almost all 5* reviews on TA) but we need all the good reviews we can get to compete with the volume of reviews generated by the larger inns in town. I wrote much the same thing as your aunt and called the review...

    Day off in July

    The 3-day rule is working like a charm. Guests arrive all tense and uncertain, but after 3 days they become relaxed, grateful and start talking about coming back. They have stopped making (inappropriate) jokes about the very diverse town up the road from here, are getting curious about how we...
