Overview

""We all go into the B&B business with rose-coloured glasses. Our enthusiasm piqued, we're excited to be the best hosts we can be and with optimistic dreams of the happily-ever-after. Then reality hits."" Embark on a laugh-out-loud journey through the gritty realities of B&B ownership in the Canadian Rockies. What began as a dream of picturesque hospitality soon descends into chaos as the author recounts the highs, lows, and downright absurdities of hosting the public. From entitled guests to atrocious neighbors, every chapter reveals another truth behind the seemingly idyllic life of an innkeeper. This brutally honest, and often hilarious, account sheds light on the struggle to maintain charm and grace while juggling impossible expectations, operational mishaps and a difficult business partner. You'll laugh, cringe, and never look at a B&B the same way again. Whether you're thinking about starting your own bed-and-breakfast, or just in need of a wild ride through one woman's survival in the hospitality industry, this book is sure to entertain-and maybe even teach you a thing or two. Real guests. Real problems. Real survival.
