That is stunning. Makes me miss the east.

We are officially registered for the seminar, and I booked our rooms at the Inn this morning!! Very excited to be going to PA in two weeks. Thanks for all the information.

Love it!

Gardening is my therapy. Every spring I tell my husband that the $$ I spend on the gardens is way cheaper than a psychiatrist!

That is good to know. We are pretty fond of our girls. With the exception of times like this afternoon when I caught them snacking on my kale seedlings that are ready to plant in my hoop house.

Do any of you have chickens? We have a small backyard flock for eggs. If we do decide to go for it and buy a B&B, I was wondering if this is something that is even considered ok? Just curious.

We are planning on attending a Better Way to Learn Innkeeping weekend with The B&B Team. Have any of you gone to one? Was it worth the investment? Would you do it again? What are the pros and cons? Thanks so much for your input. I am leaning so much from all of you.

Thank you for your concern. We are already talking about many of these issues. The owners quarters are in the basement with a second entrance out the back of the house. This is a very large home and there would be a floor (kitchen, dining and living rooms) between our living space and the...

Thanks so much on the heads up about child labor laws. I did find out that both our state and federal (FLSA) laws do NOT apply to children employed by their parents. Not sure where you got your info, but both state statute and info put on the U.S. Dept. of Labor web sites state the above. If...

They did not know why we were there. We were the only guest so we got to get a good look at the property. The innkeepers live off site. There are owners quarters that they leave available to guest to get games from a cabinet and watch tv if you want. Sending a card is a great idea. We will...

The inn has 5 guest rooms. Not sure about guest and reason for selling. We are looking at the finances and using some of our retirement funds (we are willing to do this only because my husband will get an inheritance from his parents someday). The property has only been a B&B since the home...

We have it!

I sketched out the dress, and my oldest daughter made it. The buttons came from her beloved great grandmother. She passed the year before the kids got married. One of the biggest stories behind this wedding is it took place 7 weeks after her older sister got married! We did most of it in...

We are hopefully going to a weekend seminar next month. There are so many aspects of this whole thing that we really need help organizing and knowing where to direct our energies. The kids are teen and pre-teen, so not quite as demanding as little ones. Coming from a big family, learning to be...

Thank you so much for the info about Rick Newman. I have read that getting financing can be a challenge. I have already done quite a bit of snooping online to get as much info as possible. I have not seen anything but very good reviews about the inn and the innkeepers. I am planning on...
