Hey Innmates, I have 6 complete sets of *KING SIZE Comphy Brand sheets SAGE color, in good nick, plus a bonus of 2 sets of bright white satiny sheets in KING that were only used a couple times (just purchased). If you could use these I am willing to sell them to you (you can send me a check for...

Last call for mobile, if you are not in you are out... "Google's New Mobile-First Index and the Death of Desktop SEO" More here

I am not like most, and I won't write a negative review. The same if someone asks me for a reference, you get a good reference or none at all. But I can talk about it here. We rented on Aer-mattress - you know the one. We drove all day with pets. Arrived to no sheets on the beds. Had to search...

Your thoughtful comments about "Selling a B&B as a private home?"

This is very sad. Overwhelming. I am posting this here, I don't want a knee jerk reaction myself, as I believe we should always do due diligence and find out what insurance coverage was available before throwing hard earned money at someone or something. If anyone is willing to do a little...

This is more of a catch all post on what worked well, what drastically needs changing or revising, and what we won't be doing again. Or anything that fits in there somehow. NO SHOWS I am looking back and saw we only had two no-shows in 2016, which is excellent. One showed the next day - long...

Do you have any special packages planned for the off season? (Changed title due to lack of interest -ignore our odd comments at the start )

Have you considered adding one room only to an OTA or is that ridiculous? Was just wondering if anyone has ever attempted that. Take it offline from your regular system and test it out. Without having to have myallocator and all of that, just your least booked room.

Now that the year is nearly over, was 2016 steady or a drop or bump? Did you do anything major to impact your bookings this year? Dropped a directory,added an OTA, etc

I can't find it but I recall a discussion here about "Occupancy rates" being approached in two ways and I wanted to get your input: Occupancy rates are: a) The percent of days the rooms are occupied that they are open b) The percent of days the rooms are occupied for one 365 day period (1 year)...

Why I don't belong to this directory. The word "DEAL" should be eliminated from our vocabulary. Directories seem to think our rooms are not worth the room rate.

I received a very special gift from an innmate this week, I wanted to say I am so thankful for you! The other side of innkeeping is this forum, where we build strong bonds with people from all over the world. You guys rock, keep encouraging and loving each other. THANK YOU!

In my mind I was singing "these are a few of my favorite things..." and I inserted guests into it after finding these delightful guests didn't use the shower and left not one piece of rubbish in the room and semi-made their bed. At breakfast they made a big commotion about the food when I...

Now you've gone and done it! What was I supposed to think? There was a jewelry box in the kitchen on the table. Innkeeper DH bought me a piece of jewelry for my birthday coming up? I nearly fell over. It just isn't his thing. And he is not very good at hiding it. Busy morning, full house...

Directories are on the out, but Select Registry is still going strong. Does anyone who has dealt with them have any advice? Was it worth it to join or is it dwindling like other directories? Did we get a cattle call email or should we feel honored to be invited? (Me thinks cattle call as...

from Think daily (some days I hate reading his slap in the face) Entrepreneur or Self Employed? A person who is self employed gets paid for their own output. A doctor, a lawyer, an accountant, and lawn service where the owner is mowing himself; while they all may have helpers, they stop getting...

With so many dyi websites out there, I am wondering if you are paying as much attention to your other social media? If you have a Facebook page, shouldn't it be spit shined? The beauty of today, is right now we can create and change all of these things ourselves and not have to pay anyone to do...

Today I went to the funeral of one of my favorite guests. A gentle and very kind soul, an actual rocket scientist/physicist for NASA, a lover of traditional music, mountains and this place. This morning when my alarm clock went off I said to myself "Just five more minutes..." as we had 4 room...

Admit your weaknesses Some leaders don't want to do this thinking they will be seen as weak or flawed by exposing what they aren't good at. But your people already know. By admitting your weaknesses, people won't be learning your weaknesses. What they will be learning is that their leader is...
