    References Request Dilemma

    I've been communicating back and forth with an inn owner that is interested in interviewing me for their innkeeper position. She now wants us to come down this weekend for a meet and greet, but first she wants my references. My dilemma comes in the fact that my references would be my bosses and...

Any input would be great. "Qualified applicants should send an initial cover letter explaining why...

    Interview - Creative or Corny?

    I have an interview with some innowners in a little over a week, and I was thinking of baking some muffins and/or other such baked good, and putting some in a cute little box as a present/example of my baking. Is this a good idea? Or does it seem too corny/creepy. Thanks for any input.

    Innkeeper, not Owner.

    What are some things to think about if I were to be an innkeeper, not an owner? I would want to make sure I answer all the questions I should have before I would be able to take an innkeeper position. What should I make sure to ask the owners? I know some on here are innkeepers and have had...

    Square Footage

    How big is the ideal bed and breakast room? Too small is bad, but too big is bad too. What is the average size that a bed and breakfast room should be? What if you want a whirlpool in the room or the bathroom? Or the ability to add one later? Any input on this would be great! Thanks!

    Tell innkeeper about bad website??

    I booked a room at a B&B on my route to Maine for Friday night, but I almost didn't because all they have is a bed and breakfast . com website. It bugs me when inns don't have a personal website, let alone no online availbility calendar or booking option. If they didn't have a really high review...

    First Trip To Maine - Off Topic

    I will be heading to Maine the last week of May and will be staying up by Jonesport. Do any of you Mainers (or people who have been to Maine) have suggestions on what I should do/see while I am up there? I want to know the "can't miss" sites and stops. I am super exicted as I have often though...

    Breakfast In-room

    I was wondering how many inns serve directly to the room? I think I saw NW Inn does it everytime and an inn that I am very interested in owning does this as well. I had never really thought about it as an option and had always planned on doing a full seated breakfast. What type of things could...

    Hiring Help

    How complicated is hiring seasonal help while running an inn? I have horrible visions of being buried in goverment paperwork if I decide to buy in inn that would require additional help. Or messing it up and they come and audit me or whatnot...

    Consulting Existing Innkeepers

    I remember seeing something like this on the last board, but I thought I would bring it up again. What would be the best way to approch an existing innkeeper and ask for a sit down for questions or perhaps a "innternship"? I think it would be great if I could go and offer to help out around an...
