    Bedding Options for Guest Beds - Duvet or Blankets or Throw/Bedspread...What is best for coastal inn?

    We switched out the bed quilts for Comfy duvets and seasonally-appropriate comforters. The comforter has loops on each corner and we attached ties to the inside corners of the duvet to make the comforter secure. It took several washings to relax the Comfy duvet material and release the...

    Just stay-over, no breakfast?

    We are one of those licensed and inspected small B+Bs that has served a full hot breakfast every morning in the common dining room. With the new Covid regulations in our state we have dramatically changed our model, eliminating the guest suites in the main house and only offering a continental...

    Not as much fun as it used to be

    Apparently, your Governor has imposed an indoor- mask requirement, beginning on July 7 whenever there is not at least 6 ft. of distance between you and your guests. https://dhhr.wv.gov/COVID-19/Pages/default.aspx Why do you think that is? Please be on the side of caution and wear a mask...

    Not as much fun as it used to be

    Ditto. This laissez faire attitude applied to the Covid19 situation is resulting in human carnage. I wonder if those of you who are promoting it would feel comfortable if your surgeon decided to de-mask before cutting you open. You are being callus and irresponsible at other’s expense.

    Not as much fun as it used to be

    I hope you have notified all of your guests with your (lack of) safety protocols. I for one would never stay with your bare-face-is-fine-here attitude.

    Is square withholding your payout?

    That's what I thought. Returning guests from this state made a 5-night reservation in May and I figured, with the big improvements our state has made against the virus, they surely would be coming in mid-July. Nope...canceled yesterday. My guests are dropping like flies. Sigh

    Ouch!

    Ouch, indeed! The organization that has offered weekly workshops for professionals for the last 25 years and that provides the bulk of our guests, folded without a word, and took my $850 of advertising with them. One $2500 reservation from participants canceled so far and I am waiting for 3...

    Speaking of cleaning

    Has anyone considered just detergent and hot water...perhaps nuked for 30 seconds?

    Happy Mother's Day

    Gillum, do you have any contact with JB? She was a great inspiration to me back when I was new to this group...so giving and hard working. Send a big Hello her way if you stay in touch.

    Can you take a PO Box instead of getting a mail delivery?

    Whole house rentals

    Your model sounds pretty much like ours currently is. We have accepted a couple of reservations beginning in June on a weekly basis for our ocean-view cottage and a few for less than a week by offering a nightly rate that is high enough to make it worth giving up a couple of nights. We do not...

    All lodging shut down

    Ooops, I meant to reply to #13...the one with the numbers. And for your state: Arkansas: 946 Positive Cases; 16 Deaths; 142 Recoveries (1:45 p.m. Tuesday, April 7) With a little luck and patience the rural nature of your state along with the current restrictions will prevent overwhelming your...

    Arks, I'm not sure where you are getting your numbers. Here is what I see happening in your state. https://www.ky3.com/content/news/Arkansas-sees-largest-single-day-jump-in-COVID-19-cases-reports-two-new-deaths-569393461.html

    All lodging shut down

    As I recall your state was the last in the nation to test positive for the virus. Let’s hope the extra lead time and rural nature of your town allow your population to escape the worst of this disease.

    CARES Relief Act

    Our state government has told all that want to file for unemployment CARES benefits to wait until the state receives information from the feds. In fact, I hate to tell you that applying early, before the new forms etc are in place, can foul up the system.

    How are you engaging with your customers during this shut down?

    Amazingly the Governor of our state considers lodging, hotels, etc. essential services.Other non-essential businesses must close. Amazing. We are closed because it’s the safe thing to do. Frankly, I’m not sure if we will reopen any time soon. When/if we do reopen this summer we will only book...
