Thanks! Will do.

OK, I TOTALLY agree with all this, but that wasn't my original point. My original point was that just because a place has a poor website doesn't mean it won't be a good place to stay. HECK YES marketing is key, but so is cleanliness and one doesn't guarantee the other.

I agree, JB, but, I have been to some delightful B&Bs whose websites were not necessarily bad, but weren't what we would call contemporary. Just because a website is behind the times doesn't mean that they don't care about it. Maybe they just don't know enough to realize it is in desperate...

Don't get me wrong, they are beautiful! But, we are much more laid back and enjoy the more old, primitive, country style. I never know how to describe it but kind of like a Civil War style. Anyone have any clever adjectives for me?

My DH and I once decided to stay at a place because of the owners' response to a stupid, idiotic review. Their response was so dignified and caring we just had to go there.

Sometimes I have to fight the "mommy" thing (we have 9 kids) but I will give that glance because I am waiting for him to speak and trying to keep my mouth shut. It isn't necessarily a bad thing, just wishing he would say what i want to and knowing that if I speak up later I will hear "I was...

We are currently buying our first B&B and have spent 5 years researching. I suggest your read the books - Running a Bed & Breakfast for Dummies by Mary White So~ You Want To Be An Innkeeper by Brown, Hardy, Bell, & Davies The Complete Idiot's Guide to Running a Bed and Breakfast by Park Davis...

About the website. Hmmm. It is very old and in need of revamping. No online reservation option and obviously not touched for a while, however, I have been to some very nice places that haven't had the greatest website and it's only because the innkeeper is older and not into that "technical...

Thanks! I figured it out this time and must have just been in a hurry (story of my life right now) at the time. Appreciate it.

Please read my reply above! THANKS

OMG!! I never received an e-mail letting me know anyone replied to my post and didn't realize that all of you had left me a message! (I am new here and maybe this site doesn't send you a notice, SORRY) I am so sorry I did not see all these replies and didn't get back to you all sooner. So...

Would you ever post a bad review about another Inn? I just stayed at a place that made me want to leave before we even set our bags down. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, paint was yellowed and peeling everywhere, all the curtains needed a good washing, there were holes in the wall...

Foilage spotting reports on the site begin Sept 10th. Maybe that's why there is an error message.

Don't use data like a drunk uses a lamp post, for support rather than illumination.

It was also written long before Paulo paraphrased it: Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Reminds me of something I learned years ago "Don't open your mouth unless you want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem."

Fabulous banana dish I got from Bridgeford House in Eureka Springs AR that doesn't matter if bananas sit for a while. It is great for chilly mornings, a pleasant change from the fruit and yogurt stand-by, and has good presentation. Ing: 4 bananas 1/2 tsp cinnamon...

Or a plastic sheet....

Please forgive me if this is an ignorant question; we are aspiring innkeepers and are learning as much as we can but there is so much we don't know yet. Living and traveling primarily in the midwest, we don't see much of P&P. I came across it last year or the year before but don't notice it...
