Running a bed & breakfast or country inn is the kind of business that appeals to men and women seeking to escape the corporate treadmill or to build a rewarding retirement business.
The author of this book, Lisa Rogak, provides information on how to select the best location, zoning, permits and licenses, the reality of living with guests in your home, behind the scenes at a B&B, and deciding whether to hire staff.
Competing titles may cover the cursory basics of the dream of owning a country bed & breakfast; but this covers the business specifics; from zoning and permits to handling a stream of guests in your home. Chapters on testing a business idea and writing a business plan incorporate the basics of accepted business standards: something lacking in the other titles on the subject. -- Midwest Book Review
