    Every now and again guests can be challenging

    I have been doing this forever, my Dad started our 'family camp' as a boys camp in the 50's - many former campers come back year after year. Last week, I had a former camper here who rented the whole place for the second year in a row. What I am learning NOT to do - I trusted him and let him...

    Crumbling......

    Gee I had forgotten about this website until today. I'm a summer only cottage rental business so am stressing tremendously about summer. Luckily I have mostly the same guests every year so if my state will get their act together and tell us what the regulations will be, I think I can swing it...

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    exactly what i'm leaning towards! but what i am going to do first is start using a rental agreement (which I haven't had to do before - I do have a liability waiver) in which they have to list each member of their party. THAT's IT!

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    Thank you, and yes, I do all of those things. My rates are set based on the entire cabin not per person. I will be raising rates next year because my father (who recently passed away at 91) and I have always run this place for the please of it, but now I have to get more serious - obviously...

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    exactly, i've seen that many places have an over capacity fee but that just encourages people to think it's perfectly fine to bring more. I am thinking that next year I might allow one extra person in the bigger cabins, but the cost will be a good amount per night to discourage it. I just can't...

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    Thank you Morticia (i love your name!) - I've gotten the idea from other contracts I've reviewed that I will start making people list the exact guests who will be with them on the rental agreement. I'm going to have to confront the guests today because as I watched them yesterday, I'm almost...

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    Thank you Baygirl - this is exactly my problem. My septic systems are old, plus, I have few rules and am sick of people trying to break this one. I've never had to do a rental agreement or security deposit because almost all my guests have been coming for well over a decade but, I'm working on...

    Over Capacity Rule Breakers

    Hi Folks, I'm sure this question has come up many times before but since I'm a new kid, I'm asking. I've been running my seasonal cottage rentals for many years - my dad started it in 1990 after having a boy's camp here since 1956. Almost all of our guests come back every year, some for over...

    Tonneau Cover

    hey, i'm a girl and I do my own plowing so loved that question! i just had to replace my tonneau cover and i got the same one i had before - it's a Lund try-fold cover. its a soft cover but is quite sturdy and, as it claims, folds up three ways!

    Greetings New Friends, and potential lifesavers

    Thanks to you all. Those were very uplifting messages. Thankfully, I am not alone - I have a weekend caretaker who has worked for my Dad since he was a teenager - without he and his son I would be up a creek. I do have two cleaning people on Saturdays and another part time 'handyman' during the...

    Greetings New Friends, and potential lifesavers

    Hi Folks - I just signed up and was thrilled to find this site. To spare all the gory details I run a 60 year old family 'resort' in New England and am operating it on my own this year for the first time. Cabins are rented by the week and fortunately I don't have to feed people. There is no way...
