So me & DH go out this evening for dinner and a motorcycle ride. Stress free evening, or so we thought!. We get back about 10pm. As we drive in the yard, 2 guests are standing in the driveway. The guy says," uh, we got a bit of bad news for ya." I thought, ugh, they want to check out early for...

about a week ago received an online reservation from a man, for 2 nights with his 1st & 2nd room choice. both of his room choices were already booked when he made the reservation and both were marked as unavailable on our calendar. I have emailed him 4 times telling him the situation and...

For awhile now, i have been going back & forth on whether i should try those Green bags for fruit & veggies. you know, those ones you see on infomercials & at the grocery store that are supposed to prolong the life of fruits, veggies, etc. I'm hesitant to buy them because i am afraid they will...

guests arriving later today, or so i though. When they made the reservation, she mentioned that they would probably arrive around 6 p.m. my clock must be REALLY slow because they arrived at 9:14 tis a.m. they said they would like to check in. DH answered the door and told them the your...

wasn't sure what forum to put this in. i'm not sure if i can cleary convey what it is i am asking either but here goes... when you get that phone call from a guest saying something like " hi we are planning for XYZ dates...we are looking around at 2 or 3 different inns in your area...we just...

So, we just returned last evening from a few days at home spent with family (who we miss very much) & friends. Get up this morning (no guests checking in today) and planning for today to be a typical prep-for-this-weekend-day. receive an email cancellation from a lady who made a reservation on...

this probably is not in the correct category but i wasn't quite sure what it fell under. Anyway... received an envelope today (hand addressed) with a return name & address in St.John New Brunswick (Canada). Inside is some info for a company called Calling Inn. I have never heard of them, maybe...

this should make for a good discussion. this happened to us about 2 weks after we took over our B&B. i can't believe i forgot about this. DH just said "remember when..." so i told him i was going to throw it on here.. Once upon a time,(a couple of weeks after we took over our B&B), the man who...

received an online reservation from a man last night, for this weekend. the room they requested had just been reserved via telephone about an hour before. i had not done the update yet. i emailed to tell him and to also tell him that our suite across the hall is much larger, larger bath, same...

i'm sure this topic has probably been touched on a time or two, at some point, in the history of this forum but anyway... Press Kits. who of you has created one? was it easier than you thought it would be? did you actually accomplish anything by creating it? any helpful hints/tips? etc. i know...

We just found out that one of the coules that has been staying here for the past few days is Michael Damian from the Young & the Restless & his wife Janeen. They did not tell us & we did not even recognize them. Other guests told us & i Googled them. Sure enough the photos that came up are of...

a couple of days ago we received an email ,via our website contact form, from someone named "Amber White". The email stated that she would like to pay us $50.00 to put 3 links on our 'Rooms' page.I'd have to look again to be sure, but the words,i think,she wanted to link to were, comfortable...

we insist on steaming our bedding for turnovers, it just looks so much better. i was just using a regular plain ol' steamer & it was just taking forever. Well, i think DH got tired of hearing me whine about how i waste so much valuable time steaming, so he told me the other day that he went...

we b opught our Inn a little over a year ago. our new website was up & running last winter. recently another local inn emailed us stating that they are flattered we chose to imitate them by choosing, (what they feel is) the same color for our website. they more or less (in a "nice" way)...
