Wow! Old Tavernkeeper I am very impressed! I too live in Virginia, would love to come and stay at your B&B! Do you have a website?

Oh My Madeleine, I would of reported that pet owner to the humane society that is cruel to not let you pet outside for two days. I don't plan on being a pet friendly B&B. It was a hot topic at the aspiring innkeeper conference I attended six years ago. The speakers were making suggestions on...

Where's the 'like' button!

Thanks seashanty. I just love your username! Funny you mentioned your own notes. I have a three ring binder and each page has a title and everything I learn about each title for example 'towels' I write on that page. I agree with the others that you should write an ebook! I'd gladly pay to...

Thanks birdwatcher. Couple questions when you said five years of capital do you mean enough money to run the bed and breakfast for five years? Or five years of what I would pay myself? I'm far from being financially wealthy. My business plan is to operate and pay off the business loan in...

Wow, thanks for the great post Anon Inn! My setting is rural... but 2 miles away is 100% of my target market, they have 2 million visitors a year! I purchased my domain name but I don't intend to blog until zoning grants me my conditional use permit. We will be building new and giving new...

Thanks Midwest Madam. Check on the great lawyer, lots of great attorneys in my town! :)

Thanks Madeleine :)

Thanks Innkeep! I'll be asking away, for sure. I tried searching different questions I had but I didn't have much favor finding answers.

Thanks gillumhouse! Great advice on getting everything in writing. I'll be applying for a conditional use permit $300 for a hearing and no guarantee they'll allow me to operate a B&B on my land. That is my first hurdle. If I get a yes, than I'll take the next step. Absolutely love that...

Hello EmptyNest, Chestnut Cottage is a rental. I plan to build the B&B on another piece of property that I own. I attended a combined 3 state B&B conference several years ago, they advertised it to be for existing and aspiring innkeepers, but I came away very disappointed. I felt like I had...

Hi I'm new here, but you might want to check out Airbnb and list your property there. The interface is beautiful and the payment processing is a breeze! Plus they have a wonderful $1,00,000.00 insurance policy if anyone should damage your property. The review process is the most brilliant...

I'm an aspiring innkeeper. I just finished reading 'Running a Bed & Breakfast for Dummies' and it was very informative! I'm almost finished reading 'How to Open a Financially Successful Bed & Breakfast or Small Hotel' while a lot of the content is dated, there is still some good information...

I just joined and would love to see your website copperhead! Great post by the way!
