I'd have to say I'm somewhat hands on. I live a couple of miles away. Also, I'm a hotel industry consultant (not B&Bs, much larger hotels) which makes it difficult for me to be totally removed. Having said that, I often go weeks without visiting the property. My wife drops by at least once a week. I'd like nothing better than to be hands off.So, the pay is $20k but it includes an onsite apt and utilities? Meals? Health insurance? What kind of staff does the manager oversee? I know there are a couple of innkeepers on here who are 'hired' and not owners so maybe they will pipe up with how that arrangement sounds. But anyone would want to know what the job entails.
Are you a 'hands-on' or 'hands-off' owner?.
I'm really looking for advice. The only other time I hired a manager, I placed ads (yahoo jobs, Craigslist, military newspaper, etc.). I received a ton of responses, the vast majority of which were useless and time consuming. I'd like to find a more efficient process.Question:
Are you here asking advice on the innkeeper position or actually looking for a new innkeeper here?
My suggestion would be to post a list of duties and all it entails, and then the rest of the info spelled out like pay, benefits, perks etc.
Nice place, looks like you would have some fun guests there too. .
Responsibilities include marketing, registration/check-out, laundry, and basic property maintenance. We have a housekeeper, though the manager occasionally cleans rooms if only a couple are rented. I handle the accounting, as both myself and my business partner are CPAs. I'm also a hotel industry development consultant.As an aspiring innkeeper whom is currently looking for innkeeping employment, my two biggest concerns are living quarters and salary, both of which you have covered.Next would be a breakdown of specific job responsiblities, what will the innkeeper be doing and what will the owner be doing, examples-marketing, accounting, ect..., and how will time off be planned.
Anything extra that would be out of the ordinary would need to be mentioned..

Office hours are 7-12 am and 3-7 pm. Of course, we make arrangements for guests checking in beyond these hours. I don't allow check-ins after 11 pm, though that is rarely an issue. Wedneday is an off day for the manager. Obviously, this type of work is not 9-5. To an extent, the manager is anchored to the property. That is why a couple works much better.
If you have a serious interest, please let me know. I'd be happy to discuss the position with you.
