    How to tell a group thanks but no thanks???

    Probably worrying about nothing - it is my hobby - but there is a huge group coming to us on a July weekend. They've rented most of our cottages - which is fine - but it brings all the problems that groups bring sort of demanding etc. The worst part is that they aren't going to float - which...

    How can I fix this?

    Hi! I almost never post and we're a little different than most of you but some similarities as well. We have a campground with 16 cottages and I have what seems like the craziest problem so I must not be seeing the trouble... Especially this time of year I am not always in the store...

    Sheets & Towels Color vs White

    We have purchased a property and really need to replace towels and sheets. We're not really a B&B but a small property that may have some of the same issues. White is what you see in every hotel. I assume because you can bleach them clean. Let me say up front that I'm no laundry queen - I've...

    Financing - Owner vs Bank

    Hi! We have been looking - lost a property in Wa state. Very disappointing but almost immediately found one that is ultimately better for us (although I love the Pac NW). We have been talking to three banks about financing. One turned us down flat - no real industry exp. The other two seem...

    We didn't get it...

    We bid on the Washington State property and didn't get it. Very disappointing and worse yet I'm in the dog house because I'm the one who didn't want to offer more... I guess it's just not the right one for us but - shoot!

    Who all does this w/kiddos at home?

    We still have boys at home and will for awhile. I would love to hear from anyone who does this "job" with a family at home. It seems that it's much more common to have an empty nest. Our decision is not completely made we will be looking at an actual property soon. It does have some pluses...

    Any questions you wish you'd thought to ask when Inn shopping?

    OK, we're actually getting ready to "kick the tires" at two locations. Based on the combined wisdom and experience of the group - what are some of the most important questions that we in our naiveté are likely to completely overlook? As always all advice appreciated!!

    Finding Breakfast Scary...

    To the many experienced folks out there - did you have any restaurant experience prior to opening your inn? The more I think about having to turn out a stunning breakfast every morning the more daunting it seems. Did you practice this on the family and friends ahead of time? I'm thinking of...

    Need a Voice of Experience & Reason

    OK, I'm not in over my head yet. Having an inn has been a long time interest. Only recently has my husband gotten on board - I was excited by this and though I thought internally that I was looking at the next four years to research and plan for this I started poking around on-line...
