    A much needed REST

    We had a most wonderful season this year and closed up shop last weekend for the Winter. We are situated in a tiny village on the shores of Georgian Bay, yet 70% of our clientele come from overseas. Headed South on a much needed break. Anyone out there near Lexington Ky, who wishes to rent us...

    A giggle and laugh among the hectic!

    We had a break last night and were sitting on the patio sipping on a glass of wine when my wife said. Running a B&B is just like the Movie "Ground Hog Day". Same thing day in and day out. That was when the wine squirted out of nose! She's a keeper!

    Discoloured Towels, Pillow Cases and Sheets

    Greetings all; Hope everyone survived the 4th July weekend. Has anyone ever had their towels, pillow cases and sheets discoloured due to make-up or facial cream, etc that a guest uses. This has happened last year and again twice in two weeks. It gets rather expensive, as you can' t reuse them...

    Guests who require "noise" to sleep

    Last week we had a young couple stay with us for 2 nights. We have a beautiful ceiling fan in each room, however, she asked for a table model, as she needed the sound of the whirring fan to help her sleep. We thought, hmmm that's a first. Lo and behold another couple asked for the same thing...

    Google Translate

    Hey folks; Not sure if many of you know about his, but I stumbled upon a Gem. It is called Google Translate and you download it onto your website and it almost instantly tranlates your entire website into the language of the prospective guests choice. My wife and I speak German and French...

    The Proverbial Bed Sheet Dilemma

    Hello All! My wife and I are at an impasse on when to change sheets on the bed for guests staying 3 nights or more. I am of the opinion that if they are staying no more than 3 nights, then the sheets should remain on the bed. I also don't have anything against the 4th night. My wife wants the...

    Greetings All! Thanks to all your suggestions and sound advice, we had a banner first year in business, which exceeded our expectations by 150%. That being said, it has slowed down considerably in the New Year and I was wondering what kind of marketing other B&Bs do to bring in the winter...
