    Wedding pictures at B&B

    I say $1,200 an hour ... give or take.

    Waiting game -dietary restrictions at a B&B-

    My wife makes GF bread for us all the time. It started as a request by a guest but we really like it and we eat it ourselves a lot just becaue we like it. It's just plain white bread and the texture is different but we really enjoy it. She uses guar gum or xanthium gum (sp?) or something like...

    My new website

    That's exactly what I thought and why I asked. It was actually a lot harder than I thought to come up with the titles and I had input from others that are not familiar with SEO (like my parents and wife) and that's why it wasn't aligning. I'm going to change the titles and include the phrases...

    Thanks. What do you think of my page titles? I understand if you are too busy to check em out but I read your site and that's what I came up with from the advice on there. I might have misfired though by not focusing on search phrases and more on key words.

    My new website

    I know there is still al of of stuff I need to get done with our site but I have played with the page titles as a way to (hopefully) optimize our results on search engines. I notice the search engines have not been picking up on the changes and that they still return results with the old...

    My new website

    I just said sorry my bad I'm new and took the high road. I couldn't bring myself to send anything threatening back. I hope I don't hear from him anymore and I hope I don't see any crappy reviews from him. I honestly don't know what he is talking about in regards to "reviews" anyway. My first...

    My new website

    Yeah I hope this doesn't lead to more problems but believe me I'm pretty steamed and my initial reaction was "Trash ME! Ha! I'll trash YOU!" so that was going to be my next step of throwing him under the bus here if he does anything in the way of bad reviews. I'm probably being immature about...

    My new website

    A new twist to the tale. Our previous website host sent me a nasty email threatening to trash our B&B on different review sites for what he is calling a failure to pay a debt. He was hosting the site for trade with the previous owner and since I changed to a different host and have not given...

    I agree about the driving directions. They were taken from the old site and I don't like them but they are there for now. Our little town has a lot of unmarked exits and streets so it's hard to have good directions. I would love to incorporate a map, I hope I can do that.

    Is webervations the way to go with the on-line booking? Is it hard to set up? (sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this.)

    Thanks for all of the input. We are still working on a lot of the stuff you guys mentioned but this input will help us out a lot. Thanks for the spelling stuff pointed out I am a horrible speller. My wife's brother is a professional photographer (kinda ) and we are waiting for him to send us...

    My new website

    We just got our site going. The previous owners had a nice site but it was a bit dated with the photographs and directions etc. This site is a work in progress and changes daily but I wanted to see what you guys thought and if anyone had any comments or suggestions. http://www.kiplinghouse.com/

    Can we still have kids?

    I have a full time job but we do have a lot of family support on both sides. My parents own a big house with multiple rooms, pool, hot tub, sauna etc. so I would think even if we are there as they start to get into grade school age that could be a reasonable outlet for them. I understand people...

    Can we still have kids?

    We have 5 guest rooms in the house and a cottage behind the house. I hope that leaves a lot of room for adjustment of where we could stay if it becomes an issue.

    Can we still have kids?

    I agree but do any of you have personal experience with having young children and running a b&b?

    Can we still have kids?

    My wife and I are new to this and her biggest worry right now is will we be forced to not have or have less kids. I don't see it because our room is large and has a sitting room next to it that could be a nursery. We also have a small room next to our room that doubles as a storage room (still...

    Guest etiquette

    We had a full house this past weekend and the people were nice and they were pleasant but the etiquette of the people was horrid in my opinion. It's hard to complain because the group was nice and I could tell they meant no harm but they just threw us for a loop with the way the weekend went...

    double booked room!!!

    Yes we are in the U.P. I am originally from Gladstone and my wife is from Lower Michigan. We moved up north in June to run our B&B in my home town. I think I might have added 5-10 years onto my life getting out of metro Detroit and moving to this beautiful place.

    So how much for a luncheon?

    double booked room!!!

    My wife and I are brand new at this and our "system" leaves a lot to be desired. We have a black notebook that we write all the bookings in and we check it as often as possible. One afternoon we were sitting in the dining room with the table covered in plates and cloth napkins straightening up...
