We were going for 100% occupancy in August. Last night, one room was empty. Streak broken. But look at the bright side, this morning, DH said to me, "Only 5 rooms! Piece o' cake!"
 
I had a surprise last night - I got a call from the parking lot across the street. Carnival is arriving and they are with the carnival.
Last night he asked if it was OK for his wife to be with him in the room - huh? He said the last 2 places they stayed (NOT B & B) would only let one stay (I am thinking they had a single rate). This morning the wife tells me this is her first B & B - she said he is trying to make up for forgetting their anniversary.
 
I cannot work that hard any longer. Congrats to you and hubby for still being upright!

They just about cleared the table, but were not fruit people. I offered a care package of muffins and suggested she might want to slice up the remains of their bread for later. They left happy as clams.
She told Himself she has been wanting to stay here for 5 years but has not had the money until now.
 
We've been 100% this month, except this friday I've got no bookings, full sat/sun then none monday. Strange
 
From July 16 through the entire month of August, only two cottage nights un-occupied.

Awesome.
It's hard to turn people away when they are giving you money. We are slammed right now, but will be very quiet in November.

Now thats a happy guest, and it sure makes a happy innkeeper!

We had several years of 100% during high season. I look back and marvel at how we ever did it! So glad we are now in a position to enjoy the fruits of our labor, relax a bit and slow things down. But it is wonderful to be able to crank it out and rake it in while you can.

Only 63% so far for August, good for here, but did hit last year's total gross last week. Happy dance!

It made for a VERY happy innkeeper when the balance check came back after the deposit. I can pay my phone bill. (I paid my real estate taxes last week - groan)
