    Really?

    That's because you plan running your future place as a hobby. Most innkeepers don't have that luxury.

    Elopement Packages

    "After ten years we need to up the game and do something different. Step across the threshold and work smarter not harder. This is what I am all about. I will give anything and everything a try to see if it is compatible with our inn/innkeepers." My sentiments exactly! After stepping back and...

    We'll reevaluate our 8 person max later this year and see if it's worth it.

    Elopement Packages

    JB, do you have a common area powder room/bathroom? We decided that if they have any guests at their elopement/small wedding, then the bridal couple must book an overnight stay with us because we don't have a bathroom for them to use to either change before the wedding or if their invited guests...

    Small Weddings & Elopements Website

    I agree about the quality of the photos of the wedding. Unfortunately, I was not the one that took the photos and not only did most of them come out a bit fuzzy, but I had to take most of them off the wedding couple's FB page. I learned a tough lesson on that one! I'm going to be the one taking...

    Small Weddings & Elopements Website

    Did the FB and Flicker last week. Soooo, do I need to do a separate google account? Can I just add this to my already existing acct and just create a separate G+ page for it? I don't want to break any google rules about creating this separate website and having it co-mingled with my b&b...

    Small Weddings & Elopements Website

    Thanks CH, I made that change. I added "registered guests only, 8 person maximum". We can actually overflow to 11 overnight guests, but that will be a negotiating point if they request more. Of course, at a extra charge.

    Small Weddings & Elopements Website

    Well, my new website for our small weddings and elopements is very close to being done. Minor adjustments at this point. This was my first time in the WP world and it was quite a challenge, frustrating, educational and fun all at the same time. Without the help of EmptyNest, I would still be...

    Tips for Taking Pi ctures of Your Inn

    Our photographer used a portable light (the metal kind) and placed it in spots I would never of thought of. We have a bed fairly close to a wall (think of walking between the wall and the bed to get into that side of the bed) and he placed the portable light on the floor between the wall and the...

    Any Authorize.net users out there?

    Arky, is auth.net just a gateway, or is it the only cc processing a b&b would need? Would you have to still have a swipe machine?

    hair roller

    I've been using a reusable roller for a while now and like that I never have to buy replacements any more.

    Comfy chairs vs. table and chairs

    Flower, I'm so sorry about your puppy. It's such a difficult thing. We are still greiving from the loss of our dog a few months ago. They really are a part of our family.

    Comfy chairs vs. table and chairs

    If having 2 comfy chairs eliminate having a table that would hold a computer/work space, then I would rather have the flat surface for my workspace.

    Construction and Remodeling

    I agree with Bob. Wait until you see what your occupancy and guest expectation is, then if you want to expand, cottages are a great idea. We have a main house and a separate cottages. One of the cottages has a separate laundry room built on to it, but it's not for the guest use. You don't want...
