I'm with Jo, hiding in the back. I just don't like the LONG stays very much. But for them, I do all sorts of new recipes so they don't get the same thing twice. If they stay 7 nights or longer we give a discount. If you like them you could do a goodie basket or maybe a bottle of wine/cider?.
See, Id have set up the 'special' for arrival so no chance to figure if I like them or not! Yes, new recipe every day. Oops, battery is dead, gotta go...InnsiderInfo said:I'm with Jo, hiding in the back. I just don't like the LONG stays very much.

If you like them do something nice on the middle night of their stay...it'll be a nice suprise for them.I'm with Jo, hiding in the back. I just don't like the LONG stays very much.

Hubs has been up every night talking with them. The flowers DID last the duration and now I've got them in the dining room for decor. A long stay can be tough because of the topics of conversation hubs will get himself into! I always wonder if anyone wants to leave after hearing one more time about what ever the latest peeve is. Poor hubs is single-minded and will NOT go along with a change of topic if he has more to say about his hobby horse. Heck, even I'm bored listening to it.On the other hand...I would rather have a 5 or 7 night stay who are out and about than a two nighter who stays HERE all the time, or in their room the whole time. I would make sure boundaries are set from check in time on...or a long stay might try to do more than they should in YOUR home.
a longer stay would interest me, I would interact and find out stuff and possibly get to know them a bit. So for that, I would be my best up front, so that would include a bouquet of fresh flowers that would last the duration. I'm nice, but not nice enough for two bouquets during their stay. .
We need to put hubs & DH in the same room so WE can get some relief! Even the kids are loathe to call because of the hour long trip into yesteryear......Hubs has been up every night talking with them.
