    Fireplace

    What's a nice way to tell guests not to mess with the wood burning fireplace in the guest common room? As in, only the innkeepers are permitted to run it, period.

    ghosts again

    We just had the second guest in 6 months stay and mention paranormal experiences in one of our rooms. I think we have squirrels under foot. Anyway, the experiences haven't been negative, the first was a female guest who said the ghost of a young child and her dog stayed in her room all night...

    Recipes for Two?

    Usually omelets and waffles for 1 niters, another easy one is to take premade pie crust, make a little fruit filling with sugar and frozen-thawed mixed berries and make little crostatas, takes about 10 minutes prep and 10-15 minutes to bake...

    Gift cards

    Yep, that's pretty much about all we got too when we opted out today. Not, "oh how can we make it work, or why are you leaving and what can we do to keep your business", it was pretty much, don't let the door hit you..." And they told us we could go ahead and throw away or destroy the cards we...

    Gift cards

    Oh joy! Economic downturn and bedandbreakfast.com so kindly decides to raise their commissions 5%. Opinions? We've decided not to participate in their program anymore, we think their commissions on these cards are too high to begin with. The sales pitch of "you'll make it all back when you sell...

    Innkeeper Ettiquette

    Contrary to my screen name, I actually only have a glass of wine with dinner (maybe two on the weekends) and have never been drunk while on the job or in the last 20 years, in fact! I guess "Whinewitch" would have been a more appropo name! But how do you manage to get a shower in before guests...

    Innkeeper Ettiquette

    What? If all the cars in the driveway are Colorado plates and they are all separate parties, are you trying to tell me that not only do you know their names on sight without ever having met them but you would be able to tell their names before you met them by looking at their license plate? You...

    Innkeeper Ettiquette

    This is from an EXPERIENCED innkeeper: Greet the guests that are late by making them wait on the porch for the exact amount of time they made you wait or hide in your OQ until the door bell rings the 2nd time or until they start walking all around the house looking in your windows to see if you...

    Never say never

    I am beyond crotchety at this point and I had a revelation this morning. 1 nighters=PITA!!! These folks tracked in more grass into my house in 12 hours than my kid has ever tracked in, in the 3 years we've lived here. I will never understand how a person can cr*p all over the toilet, I mean the...

    Need advice...bed wetter

    Hey all you aspirings! Wait until you get the one who comes down for breakfast and says, "I'm afraid I soiled your linens...We'll need our sheets changed" You'll be thinkin' "oh, some make-up or something", come to find out they're on Alli or some other drug that causes "anal leakage" and YOU...

    nudging made up people to wash with dark cloths

    There's really no hope! Wipes and dark cloths in there PLUS an extra set of dark washcloths. Went to flip the room this morning, make up and mascara all over the white HANDTOWEL. Gee, thanks! The new routine is: keep a bleach pen and spray n'wash in the cleaning bucket for the rooms, zap 'em...

    Best 13 minutes you'll ever spend in the kitchen as an innkeeper...

    I'll try another scan, I'm sure the recipes will work in a regular pan in an oven, but the point is that you only have to cook for 13 minutes in the microwave. So, you aren't slaving over a hot stove for an hour, having to check if it's done, heating up your house and you have an emergency...

    Are any of you privy to the "Pampered Chef" 13 minute microwave bundt cakes? All I can say is do yourself a favor and get ahold of your local PC rep or look on e-bay for the stoneware bundt pan... I will post the recipes if you don't have them. Even if you have to pay retail for the pan, the...
