What does it really take to turn a home into a bed and breakfast?
Jim Meade transformed his home into Bear Mountain Lodge, a north woods style bed and breakfast (B&B) in rural Pennsylvania. Now, he runs three successful bed and breakfasts and brings together his stories and wisdom from the B&B world.
No Cooked Breakfast is a practical guide infused with a personal narrative about his life before, during, and after opening his B&B, plus comments straight from his own log books in each of the B&B's bedrooms, so that you can see exactly what keeps guests happy and returning, again and again.
In addition to anecdotes about his personal history and the growth of his business, you'll discover:
- Tips for aspiring innkeepers.
- Specific and practical lists for how to open your own B&B.
- Why guests actually choose to stay in B&Bs and not hotels (and their reasons might surprise you!).
- Practical insight into how to keep your B&B running smoothly.
Imagine having a clear understanding of exactly how to run a bed and breakfast, how to manage your business without overworking yourself, and how one man turned his retirement into a successful business venture. Just a visit to the Bear Mountain Lodge, Jim Meade invites you into No Cooked Breakfast to kick back, laugh, and explore.

Store description
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
