Hey all, I was wondering if anyone has a sample letter they would share for use when guests cancel within the managements cancellation time frame. Something stating they are responsible for 50% of their stay, yada...yada...yada. Thanks and fingers crossed for an early Spring!

Where I come from, that's called a 'Date'.

Happy Holidays Everyone. I have a question about a reloadable credit/debit card. A potential guest inquired if he could use one to hold a reservation but then pay cash on arrival. I have never heard of a reload card. Can someone explain them to me? Are they a different animal than a credit or...

I am in need of a part time weekend person for Sat & Sunday mornings from Nov 1 through mid Dec. I dread the interview process as it is so time consuming. Does anyone have any tips for writing catchy help wanted adds with the goal to attract the right people rather than the time wasters? Can you...

This is what ended up happening. I held breakfast for 20 minites hoping that they would up and leave. That didn't happen. Then wife had the good timing to intercept me in the pantry realizing what was happening. She said they were just socializing and to go ahead and serve. So I did. It was a...

I have a couple coming from Germany for an extended stay. Am I required by law to ask for their passports and visas? If so, what do i do? Has anyone dealt with this? Thanks

Glad you liked it. I thought it was pretty funny myself.. ."nice web, Mr. Crack Spider"..... lol!

We work hard. No secret there. I would like to know what works for you to help keep you on top of your game. I worked an 18 hour day yesterday. I will work the same today. Quite frankly, I am exhausted and my season will go until November. I hired some help. I try to eat right and take good...

lol! just watch it. . . . its not what you think.

Uggh! I agree. Being out in the county, you just expect your fair share of local flora and fauna. I have a couple here right now from Staten Island. The wife actually called me up because they had a spider web on the grapevine wreath on their cottage door. They requested it be immediately...
