Good News! We have a buyer and will close on Nov 1st. Jim and I will stay on for Jim to complete his recovery (he had bypass surgery 9/23) probably until 1st of December. And then we are off to Hot Springs, Arkansas for grandkid time and retirement!

the worst kids we had behavior-wise were our grands... running up and down the stairs.... nipped that in the bud!

No turndown service, no mid-stay housekeeping. We will replenish bath linens as needed when asked. If they have trash, they will leave outside their room door. Guests don't mind and appreciate that we are mindful of their and our health.

the price for the residence is priced according to current properties, but that doesn't include the furniture and business.

Just curious as we have our inn on the market. I like the option of "make us an offer that we can't refuse" as opposed to conveying it in the sale. We have a fabulous website, on many directories, social media, goodwill, etc.

We had out these temporary tattoos for those with skin illustrations - guests get a kick out of them

Love these grandchildren and their talent! and he actually reads the manuals?? OMG

We need to find a teenager to come and set us up as we are not tech savvy at all!

We are a non-profit, but not on purpose.... does that count?? ;)

We have a little nest egg via a barter club that we can apply to the moving costs. We are having fun looking at properties online, but understand that they won't be available when our place sells.

Thanks for the suggestion about earnest money. The first showing may be interested but is not very realistic - we are a lifestyle operation. Getting rich is not going to happen. Plus they want to change part of the property into monthly rentals. The second showing was just curious couple with...

I worst behaved children staying were our grandchildren! fortunately, they heard Granny plainly and stopped stomping up and down the stairs (that is a fun noise to make). And we had no other guests here.

It could take 2 months to 2 years to sell... being patient with the process. We have our first showing tomorrow afternoon.

We finally made the decision to leave the B&B business! We are in our 14th year and have loved most everything about it! But we are ready to spend time with our grandkids.
