Luckily under the NHR we are exempt from even taking service animals. We currently have a piece of Abraham Lincoln's furniture on loan from NPS and they make it clear no one will bring a pet into the building as long as it's here. Thank goodness, I don't want to sound like I am the Baroness...

Wow Morticia, 20 years and I have never had anything like that happen. So sad that people treat other people that way.

About 1/3 of our Airbnb guests come back but the large number of those book direct. We have the advantage of having a vineyard on site and being 2 hours from DC, so if they are coming back to visit the vineyard we can snag them again. Our issue with Airbnb guests is that they are generally...

We only offer discounts to active duty military and retired military that served a full 20 or are VFW members. (and have a CAC card to prove it, so sick of scammers) If you can advertise on Airbnb in a way that people can find your website it is a great help getting rid of coupon guests too...

I read this and tried it for myself this morning with fresh eggs from our chickens. Heavenly. But I would not serve to guests without pre asking.

As a White Sox fan I see a defect in your decoration choices....

We aggressively manage pricing from March through Christmas and run greater than 90% occupancy mid-week and virtually 100% on weekends. Prices run as low as $149 mid-week mid-season up to $399 on an October weekend. But during those months I actively mange pricing every day. Both early, or...

We do not need an intern but would be willing to speak with you about what it takes to manage the administrative tasks of running and promoting an Inn and let you try your hand at doing a few promotions.

Airbnb wasn't collecting taxes from their hosts and it was unfair to us because we have to collect and pay tax. That right off makes us substantially more expensive. So we pointed this out to our county sales tax department to no avail. Then we went to our board of supervisors and in a...

What is going on? We are setting new all-time records for occupancy.... People are avoiding the chain hotels and flocking to BnB's in Virginia. This was our September bookings as of the 3rd of September and our bookings for October as of today. There has to be a way to get the word out to...

We decided when we re-opened in May that we would no longer accept children so that problem is solved. But we had people just this morning that had to leave at 6:30 and I swear they were wearing Dutch wooden shoes. They woke up all of the other guests, every single one....

Wondering why your selling price is so low? We have our bnb in Charlottesville VA with only 5 rooms and one cottage for sale and we just turned down offers of 1.1M and 1.25M. Is CT depressed because of Covid? Just curious, not prying.

I agree, ozone in even short stints gives me massive headaches. I know it is natural but there is something amiss with using it imho.

WOW, you must be making money hand over fist compared to us. Just did a quick calculator check, would cost me $1422 to use these for each room and cottage....NFW Our stainless steel Sams Club carafes are only $18.98 work fantastic but they don't get much use since we put keurigs in the room...

We do not enter guest rooms or change any sheets or towels during their stay unless they request it by hanging the Maid Service Requested hanger on the door knob. About 2/3 of guests have gone back to requesting daily maid service. BUT to spray sanitizer all over the room each day and change...

We do not have anything begging for tips in rooms. Tencia our housekeeper still gets about $100 per week in cash tips and any tips left on our two days cleaning we give to her but not many tips on Monday and Tuesday stays. Almost all tips are on weekend stays and are $5 to $10

Keurig in every room. Push pots in the living room still.

We require nothing, no test, no quarantine, not a questionnaire here in Virginia. As part of BnB consulting I have stayed from as far north as Asbury Park NJ and Lewes DE to as far south as Carolina Beach NC and Savannah over the past 2 weeks. At 16 bnb stays over last 16 days and not one...

That seems to be similar to our current booking pattern, I will be forlorn on Monday and fully booked for the weekend by Wednesday. I am now full for this weekend except one room and a week ago I had zero bookings. Currently full with hurricane evacuees, so again high occupancy but lower dollars.
