We use Thunk and our cc processor is Heartland. Only 4 months in and still tallying fees to get an accurate count but looks like its around 3.5% on the average.

Do you all charge for bottles of water? What kind of mark up if so? I don't want to nickel and dime guests but need to figure out drinking water.

The Inn we purchased started ThinkReservations this year which blasts it out to most OTA's and has really increased the volume. I take about 13% out to budget paying for them. That is 13 % of my total as we also have our own website.

Wow..... Took over the Inn at 93% occupancy for 6 straight weeks just my wife and I. Only 8 rooms but had us running 7 days a week and always ON as you all know. Season is just starting to slow so we can actually take a breath. Only 3 guests here now and we are going for a hike today! Stumbles...

Also we have a water alarm that goes off that it looks like old owners ignored. I have the septic getting pumped this week so hopefully thats what it is?

Allare very helpful much appreciated! We do a continental breakfast and are looking at Sams for bagels and breads for daily eating. Do you guys have any other good advice for a lesser $$ money way or any tips?

Do any of you run on Septic? If so how often do you get it pumped (I know depends on size) and cost? Inn is 8 bedrooms.

Appraiser is telling us its commercial the property is listed both residential and commercial. Not zoned commercial, but I would rather get a 2nd home loan. Loan already approved for residential. Did you buy your Inn's or B&B'S as commercial or residential. We will be living onsite as well.

My deck is fairly large and the focal point of the Inn. People gather to watch the ocean and night the sunsets, my parents in their early 70's love the peace and quiet. My wife and I younger 30/40 like to hear some quiet music in the background so its not strange to actually talk. Thoughts Music...

Any tax write off or tips from any new laws from president? Or old laws that is good to look into.

Do you guys clean every day? How often if people stay a couple nights?

The new challenge is as we are taking over at closing, that they have a couple running the Inn. We will need to run the Inn for us to make money. So the couple will need to be gone at closing and we need to turn key it that same day..... Stress
