    Coronavirus?

    Keeping in mind that we are winding down our guest load on purpose after 30 years of hosting, we are closing the two suites in the Main House and only booking our freestanding cottage. We will provide a continental breakfast, stocked in the cottage unless a guest opts for a full breakfast and...

    Coronavirus?

    Smart moves on your part which hopefully will enable you to have fun and be safe at the same time! I think awareness has a lot to do with whether or not the virus has been detected at all in the areas you are visiting. Realistically, there may be undetected or unreported virus present. It's...

    Coronavirus?

    We just got our first cancellation for a week in the cottage at the end of March from a returning guest from the UK. Our agreement was for full, non-refundable payment 30 days in advance and she canceled before the deposit was due. We are happy she canceled since she travels internationally...

    Removing smell from foam mattress toppers?

    Duh, I usually look but this time I didn't scroll down far enough to see Joey B's post...that would have given it away.

    Removing smell from foam mattress toppers?

    That doesn't sound right to me. I would bring it back. A new topper should not be brown around the edges and should not need to be turned that often. We have 2 toppers that have been on our firm mattresses for several years and our guests love them! We turn them 2-3 times a year and have...

    Coffee!

    Yup, that is what we have switched to since we are making the stand-alone cottage our main accommodation and letting our B+B guests be more self-sufficient. We also provide an electric drip coffee maker and French press for coffee and we will provide a container of loose ground coffee(s) if...

    Please write down your final wishes

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Having lost my father very suddenly on New Year's eve many years ago, I still feel the pain of sudden loss along with the joy of renewal on the new year. As I look back on that time, I realize that we spent way more money than we should have at his internment...

    Dumbing down breakfast

    This is our year to cut way back. Our trademark full, home cooked breakfast is becoming an optional upgrade, with a price that reflects the amount of work and expense that qualifies it to become a special add on to the guest’s reservation. I love to cook and, to me, breakfast is the highlight...

    Hello everyone

    Welcome aboard! This is a place of refuge, sharing and sometimes venting. It’s a great place to hang out, as you will discover. Good luck on your adventure into inn keeping!

    Difficult news

    So very sorry for your loss. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that we are all thinking of you.

    When the innkeeper is sick

    Yes, get the vaccine. We both had the early version as well as the recent one. It just does not make sense to risk being disabled and in pain when you can avoid it. And Mort, I’ve heard from a relative how debilitating and painful shingles can be. So very sorry to hear you are experiencing...

    When the innkeeper is sick

    Oh My...pain still there. This has gone on too long to ignore. Get yourself to a major medical facility with a neurologist that can get to the bottom of the cause. I'm assuming your doctor has done the MRI and blood work to rule out the obvious but can refer you to someone who can continue...

    Please sign this petition to have the govt look into how Google stomps on small lodging businesses

    Done!

    When the innkeeper is sick

    Oh my, sorry to hear this. Hope it is curable and not something that you just have to live with. Just in case it might help I’ll recommend a test for Lyme disease. Neurological complications are not uncommon, and down here ticks abound.

    Where are they going?

    Sorry Jim, upon reading my comment I see that it comes across as snarky, when I was only trying to compliment Maddie...not put motels down!

    Our Seasons Of Discontent... or Why I Wanted To Quit Today

    I only had one person with chid (14 year-old) once. When they made the reservation I clearly asked "This is for one adult only?" and all of our literature, including our confirmation states that we do not accommodate families with children under 18. So when the mom called on her way here and...

    Where are they going?

    LOL, motel guests. I bet they feel like they are in heaven once they see your lovely rooms!

    What a season!

    Sorry to hear this. Be careful, it’s a heavy load to carry at any age. No sense in hurting yourself over a dust kitty. Just sayin’.
