You're right - you are lucky that your cousin really IS a pro!!! Nice photos.

Welcome aboard Grace! You will learn lots of good stuff from this experienced group of innkeepers!

A starting point (or "rough biz plan for ME"): Business Model Canvas Explained

Welcome! It sounds like a great area with lots of attractions and your plans sound wonderful. You can learn a lot from this group! You may want to connect with B&B/Inn Associations for more educational opportunities and to support advocacy for the industry. Also get to know other innkeepers in...

Lots of great ideas here! I wrote blogs for one of the companies mentioned earlier. It always worked best when the innkeepers and I got together to schedule blog topics using ideas/events/attractions that they knew in their area (I wrote for B&Bs in Cape Cod, VA, TX, WI, NY, and PA). I would...

Welcome aboard!

When we travel south (I-81 to I-77 and on), we like stopping in Statesville - We really enjoy Twisted Oak Restaurant! If you are still there, we will stop and stay with you next roadtrip. Best wishes on your next steps!

Have a very Merry Christmas and much joy in 2016!

Oatmeal pancakes is the fav breakfast here. ...served with real PA maple syrup and a side meat (usually sausage).

Has anyone tried thinkreservations dot com? I've heard several innkeepers say they really like it and very reasonably priced...

Back in the late 1990's, he developed websites for B&Bs...I don't know what happened to his company since then.

I received this email earlier this week: That's right - we created a mobile app for your business! I'm Kim from Appsme and our team has already done the hard work for you. All that's left is for you to customize it. Hit the big button below to preview the Bed & Breakfast app and learn more...

I got my 2 USB + 6 electric outlet charging device from Lowes. I point it out when I show guests to their rooms.

Yep - these are great! You can get them at Tractor Supply or your local tack shop. We use these in the barn for all the grooming stuff...AND in the B&B for cleaning stuff.

YUMMMM! Were these in regular size muffin tins or the big ones? I use the big ones for some of my baked egg dishes but I just never thought of making a variety of mini-quiches. Duh... That's so smart! Thanks!

FYI: This was on the P A I I forum this AM... Last week, the manager of a nearby bed and breakfast called to pass on some information about their inn being burglarized. Three single women booked online and scheduled a late check inn. The next morning, the rooms were cleaned out of everything...

Interesting contrast between how active this forum site is vs. PAII's. Last post to the PAII forum was 2 days ago. Almost anytime I look here, the last post was more like 2 hours ago. Hmmmmmm.... ...just an observation...

Good for You! Congrats - especially on the "wouldn't change a thing" part. Woo Hoo!

Sounds like the dreaded "burn out". Time to reinvent yourself/your B&B. As already suggested, try something new! And breathe...just breathe...

If I know one of the guests is having a B-day, I just put the balloon in the room...no charge - "just because". If they request a B-day "package", then add on cake or chocolates, then yes I charge based on the cost + about 65% mark-up.
