    I hate Nut ella

    Straight from the jar is best, but in the center of the muffins is REALLY good! Try the muffins I posted!

    Keep bed from rolling?

    Locking casters? I have some rubber "cups" that fit under the casters that seem to keep some chairs from rolling, maybe those? I used those glider feet on the frames and "level" them with big felt pads. So far so good. Sisters of the sloping floors!

    I say children and babies are people too.

    Talking with another innkeeper the other day. She asked if we take dogs, I told her two rooms are dog rooms. She said they are less mess than kids. I agree. I had a batch of "cocoa sloshers" in last week, and have progressed to blue drink spillers this week. Poopy diaper on the bathroom...

    Shriek!

    Time for guest education I say. Tell him you are sorry you yelled at him, but that he scared the living daylights out of you when you found him in your private bedroom. Tell him there is a sign there, and that you did not expect them in until check-in at 3 p.m. Let HIM apologize. People...

    Lodge for Sale!

    Thanks all for the nice comments. A day rarely passes that I don't tell someone about all the help I have gotten here. Just too darn busy lately to post anywhere! We are still largely a "motel and muffin". I make muffins daily, and we have 8 units in the motel, with each room flip there are...

    Lodge for Sale!

    As some here will recall, we bought the lodge to save it, and have worked hard to give it a second life. We finally got the approval to have three more rooms rented upstairs in addition to the two suites downstairs. The process has been a long one, but the lodge is finally a b&b. We feel our...

    Help Wanted

    Facebook over 1,000 people have viewed the post. A few inquiries for lurkers here. I think the problem is that no one seems to think that inn keeping involves a lot of work. "Why is it hard?" one asked. Seems to be an idea out there of chatting with guests on the verandah. Sigh. I also...

    From Inmate to Inn Mate: One Pup's Story

    A nice story...a win, win, win situation! We have three "inmates" adopted from the shelters. They work better than an alarm clock, and Stanley our big boy will watch cookies in the oven....at home, at let me know if they are done (he is not allowed in the lodge), and I always think rubbing a...

    air conditioners

    After looking at mini-splits, window and free standing units, we finally put in central air. Our rooms all have their own thermostats, and dampered runs. We were concerned with the condensation dripping on the exterior of the building....we are in a humid area, and I know you are, so please...
