Innkeeping from the Innside – description

Spend a morning getting the Who, What, When, Where, How, and Why from a successful Innkeeper who made her Innkeeping dream come true.  There are as many ways to be an Innkeeper as there are wonderful Inns and guests hoping to experience what you have to offer.  Explore the options and get the real scoop on what your Innkeeping success story might be.

Bio – Carol and Tom Edmondson owned and operated a 12-guest room Select Registry Inn on Cape Cod for 12 years.  While they owned their Inn, Carol and Tom, formed Inn Advisors, a consulting partnership focused on finding inns for their clients and teaching innkeeping from their own experience.  They developed the “Innkeeping From the Innside” seminar providing a comprehensive view of acquiring and operating a highly successful B&B.  Carol specializes in taking your Inn to the next level, planning for change, and planning your future strategy.
