    Netflix's documentary 'The Voyeur' about a peeping innkeeper. Creepy, creepy!

    I would literally have a heart attack or stroke right there on the spot if I looked up into the vent and saw that man's face with his tinted 70's glasses staring down at me. I believe he gets Creepiest Innkeeper Award second to Norman Bates.

    Netflix's documentary 'The Voyeur' about a peeping innkeeper. Creepy, creepy!

    That's him! Aside from his bizarre peeping, he does give insights throughout the documentary about being an innkeeper and how it has shaped his views of life, people, relationships. The one time over many years that he says he almost got caught was when he saw someone wiping greasy Kentucky...

    Netflix's documentary 'The Voyeur' about a peeping innkeeper. Creepy, creepy!

    Just thought I would throw that out there to you all. Maybe you've seen it. It's on Netflix and the innkeeper sets up his small motel in Denver so that he can peep through vents at his guests. His wife goes along with it and they keep this a secret from the wife's elderly mother and the couple's...

    In the weeds

    Well I am rooting for you, friend! You are an inspiration to me and I tend to think you will get your approval and go on to operate a beautifully successful inn that you will love and enjoy owning. You certainly sound to have done your due diligence, planning and will very likely be a successful...

    In the weeds

    Best of luck to you. I can relate to your heart just pulling you in the direction of buying your inn. I am so deeply exhausted and on some level traumatized by the constant moving, mobility, instability that my husband's industry has required of us. On a very deep heartfelt level I dream of...

    Why do inns often take so long to sell?

    I see many inns are often for sale for many months, years even. I suppose there are not too many buyers of inns out there. What do you think are the main reasons inns do not sell very readily?

    And my mother always said, 'The first wealth is health.' That is the truth.

    Reasonable expectation for innkeeper net income?

    That is really wonderful that your rooms pay your house expenses. Your place sounds lovely and I am sure it is. It doesn't have to be 'high end' to be a special, warm, inviting, cozy place that guests enjoy and love. I'll have to keep your food costs tricks of the trade in mind as well!

    Reasonable expectation for innkeeper net income?

    I would do small elopements/weddings, showers, rent out house to larger groups, birthday parties, etc. If I get a place, I would like for it to be a beautiful historic Victorian, maybe Greek Revival home. Sure, why not have a little boutique selling comforting, enticing things. My kids are...

    Reasonable expectation for innkeeper net income?

    Yes I'd have a cushion plus my spouse plans to work for several more years. I figured the question would be tough to answer.

    Reasonable expectation for innkeeper net income?

    Hello Innkeepers! Another question for you. I'm not asking for anyone to post personal info about their incomes, unless of course, anyone is okay doing that. Just asking what a reasonable expectation for net income would be. I know that is a very broad question. Let's say for an 8-10 room well...

    Newbie Question: Why would they stay at $175-$200 a night inn when they can stay in entire AirBNB apartment for $110 a night?

    Thanks for sharing this trick of the trade, An Old Tavernkeeper. That's good to know. Wow, that is an impressive weekend occupancy rate as well. What a fortunate place to own an inn near DC. I must say, you innkeepers on here are some of the the most helpful, gracious, generous of spirit folks...

    Newbie Question: Why would they stay at $175-$200 a night inn when they can stay in entire AirBNB apartment for $110 a night?

    Haha yeah there is some old school wallpaper going on in a bathroom. I get why they kept it. To me, it's cute and vintage. I'd probably paint over it at some point but it is nostalgic of a bygone era. Dining room has been painted and wallpaper is no longer there.

    Newbie Question: Why would they stay at $175-$200 a night inn when they can stay in entire AirBNB apartment for $110 a night?

    All good tips! Thank you. I wanted to say to you before that I am so sorry to hear of your losses with your husband and another relative you mentioned. I think it is amazing that you have carried on and kept your inn going through such loss and hardships. We are moving soon and my brain is all...

    I think that price includes turn key business including furnishings. It might be a little lower just sold as a single family. Honestly, if you look at comparable historic properties in that area it does seem to be priced right.
