I've always used very high quality cotton sheets year-round, but this year I'm thinking of switching to flannel sheets for the winter, something like LL Bean carries, so still very high quality and no pilling. Yea or Nay? I've never used flannel sheets myself because my husband thinks they will...

Hi everyone. It has been a while since I've posted. We've been closed since last March but will reopen this summer. I have always had beautiful quilts and goose-down comforters on my beds, but that will now be changing. Can anyone please recommend very nice down-alternative comforters that are...

We are getting ready to switch from Webervations to ThinkReservations, which means we also have to find a new credit card processing company. I currently use Square and love them, but Think doesn't support Square. For those of you with Think, can you please share which cc company you're with and...

Happy New Year everyone! I am looking to change my bath amenities. I have been using Archive, and they're fine, but I want to provide products that are a bit nicer. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Good afternoon. It has been a while since I've been here. Rough summer, personally, so consequently a rough summer all the way around. One of my sisters' passed away in July after becoming ill in early June. Heartbreaking. So, I am now getting back in business mode and received an email from...

We just received our bill from Bed and breakfast.com. They've gone up 40% over last year's rate. I'm not sure how many bookings (if any) we get from them. They are the number 3 source from google analytics, but way below the first two (direct and google) at just 5%. I've gone off every other...

When addressing a married couple in writing (who share the same last name) do you still use Mr. and Mrs. John Smith or do you write something more modern, such as Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Jane Smith? Or Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith? Or do you skip the Mr. and Mrs. altogether and just use...

Yesterday, after my guests left, I luxuriated in the fact that I had no guests coming. Incredible for a Saturday! I quickly put the house in order and took off to go fly fishing in a beautiful nearby river. It was a wonderful way to spend a warm spring day. I was still in that blissful state of...

Hi Everyone, I've been remiss in checking in for a while, but it's nice to be back. I am looking for cellphone chargers (usb ports) for my nightstands that also have outlets in them. I know I saw one on this site a while ago but I can't find it now. Does anyone remember it? And in that same...

Hi Everyone. It's been a while since I've checked in. Just getting over the craziness of summer and fall. I love November! 2016 will be the start of my 20th year in business. (I have no idea how that happened and where the time has gone!) I would like to do something special for my guests to...

We need to replace some of our alarm clocks. Any recommendations? Do any of you use ones that have cell phone chargers and/or white noise machines? Thanks.

Hi Everyone. When a guest asks for something special, like a bouquet of flowers, tickets to a show, a celebration cake, etc., how do you charge for that? Do you just charge what each item costs or do you add something to the bill for your time? If so, how much do you charge for your time? Or do...

Do you ever serve fish for breakfast, as in salmon or crab quiche? If so, do you ask the guests ahead of time if they like fish? I don't want to go through the expense and work just to throw food out if guests won't eat it, but I'm not a big fan of polling my guests to see what they like or...

Hi Everyone. I feel the need to change up my breakfast menu. I am wondering if any of you serve Monte Cristo sandwiches for breakfast and if so, do you have a great recipe you'd like to share? I know they are time consuming so I'd only make them occasionally but I really want to give them a try...

For those of you who are listed on booking.com can you please give me the pros and cons. I'm not sure I want to pay a commission but they do seem to be at the top of every search list. Thanks.

We've been getting a lot of calls lately from brides and grooms who want to have their engagement and/or wedding photos taken here. We host small weddings and events here and we've never charged for photos but these are non-guests who are asking. Last summer we actually had a whole bridal party...

Have any of you that are listed on BNB.com upgraded to the Diamond Collection? If so, have you seen a MAJOR increase in visibility and sales?
