I was perusing one of the links "Agnes" recommended on the blog, and it's something of a relief to know that our parking issue isn't "our" issue.
We have no lines either. Mainly, because for the number of rooms we have, we offer HUGE parking. Really - they can parallel park, park nose in, whatever, But it seems impossible for most guests to find the lot.
First off, it is a large paved space, jutting into our lawn, from the street. Okay, not clear enough. I suppose one might think it just...oh, I don't know what they would think it was.
Second, we have outlined it with path lights that stand up near about 18" from the ground.. They make a visual border during the day, and a colorful lit one at night. Not clear to many people.
Third, we broke down and now place an obnoxious orange cone in our driveway to prevent people from parking in our space, which is in the back of the house, 180 degrees from the entrance.
Enough? Apparently not. DH was outside (thank goodness) and observed guests arriving to check in drive on our lawn in order to go around the cone and park in back of the house. Fow what it's worth, other guests were checked in and parked appropriately in the lot. DH stopped their car, told them uh-uh, and made them move the vehicle where it belongs.
