I have a friend planning a getaway and one of the places in the loop on her road trip does not have online bookings. So what do you think will happen? I mean she it at her computer planning the drives and where to stop each night. Do you think she will stuff around with that one place? She will if she really loves the place - but most of the time it is just another stop on the vacation route. No, she will pick some place else most likely. If you are a "destination" you might fare better with people calling and not getting upset with the lack of online availability and booking.
I tried to book a week on the west coast of FLA in cabins/cottages and got so fed up we just booked a hotel.
Ok, that makes sense, except I am not looking for those kinds of guests. This area is a destination, that hopefully will be a tradition and that will happen each and every year. So you see it is like friends calling you or to see if you have a bed for them. We hug when we see each other
The county didn't have a major hotel chain until 2 or 3 years ago for those travelers that just want to spend the night and head on out. We have maybe 3 or 4 bnbs. In order to come to our little nook you have to want to be there, there is no major road to take you here.
Most of the resorts around here are much like mine or they are condos and private homes. You mustn't get upset with us who are still operating behind the moon. Give it another try
