    What do you mean "am I serious"? These mattresses were not new when we bought the place. Just asking for some advice please.

    Mattress Advice

    In our 4th year already, time does fly! Some of our mattresses are in need of replacement. When buying new mattresses, what level of quality do you buy and how many years do you expect them to be in service? Thanks, r

    What is the silliest thing a guest has ever done at your inn?

    When someone tells us they are vegan or vegeterian, we have learned to ask their definition of their statement. This weekend we had a vegan gal ( her description - no foods with eyes or mothers ) smoke a big fat cigar in the hot tub......I suppose cigars are vegan.....and it was a birthday...

    Industry rate?

    Is there any licensing required to be a "travel agent" or can anyone hang out their shingle and become one? We have had a couple of challenging bookings through a travel agent.....
