Here's a link to a story about AirBnb.

Recently, at the advice of a business adviser, I 'adjusted' all my rates. And by that, I mean dropped them. Not by much, but enough to make potential guests stop and look. So, I eliminated almost all of my discounts and instead I'm going to run a seasonal promotion or two either on my website or...

I filled out the form on line, but haven't heard anything. It's been over a week.

I sure would appreciate that turkey sausage recipe.

This has worked very well for me, too. Earlier last month, I met with a SCORE adviser because my business was down 10% from last year. There were several factors leading to this, not many of which were under my control. Anyway, he helped me look at the entire business thru his eyes and he's not...

An innkeeper friend of mine, who is more involved with state issues than I am (she may also testify at the hearing) just sent me this e-mail regarding the FTC and Air: "I recently did a little research on the rentals in my county NOT listed with our county treasurer and NOT collecting the...

We got ours, too!

I served 8 guests and helped DD prepare for and have a yard sale this morning. Family laundry to do. 3 fluffs, one turn over and 2 check-ins. I'm pooped. All I want to do is sit on the front porch and drink!

I know exactly how you feel Over the course of ten days, I had to shut down a room for 4, move several guests and then a couple of days the room wasn't rented. Had exterminator in twice and I'm still holding my breath. Last guests in there two days ago said all was well and I had not seen any...

Joey, Did they ever show up? My guess is that they went to some other place by mistake and that other place had had a cancellation so they just kept them!

I heard that Sel Reg properties are getting it free of charge.

Oh, and in the kitchen, I couldn't run the microwave and the toaster oven at the same time. Dear ol' dad fixed that for me right away and also ran dedicated lines for my coffee pots.

We got a BOX of keys. Nothing was labeled except for one ring with a few keys on it and a tag that said, "Not the Rose Room". Also 5 breaker boxes and not one label.

Someone tell me what the heck is going on! I've gotten no fewer than a DOZEN 'robo'-type calls today. You know the ones, the caller ID says City, State and there's no one there. Do you get these? Have they become more frequent as of late? We would get a couple a day and then they stopped...

OH, I loved those books! And the movies, too. I was so sad at the end of it all. That woman (J.K. Rowling) inspired a whole generation of kids (and those who think they're kids) to start reading again.

So, did she get back to you with the info? Is her reservation soon, or are you going to have weeks and weeks to plot ways to disrupt her special day even more?

I wonder a couple of things - 1. How did this law get passed without any of the innkeepers noticing it? and 2. Did the legislators who drew up/pushed the bill not realize that they were going to have this effect on the B&Bs? (if not, why not?) Yes, people, we seem to have an awareness problem...

And the thing that just irks me most about the 'business listing'...well, two things, actually. 1. they assign you a phone number. It's not your actual phone number, but guests don't know that. The call eventually gets to you, but not before being routed thru TA to allow them to 'track' the...

I'm in Lancaster, about 45 minutes.

BIG discount, eh? Well, maybe for the first year. Then, watch the cost of your 'auto-renewed' listing increase 50-fold!
