The Red Door Inn in Canandaigua, NY

Innkeepers Kevin and Kathryn Carson had a long-term plan to turn a home that they did not even own yet into a bed and breakfast. A series of events conspired to dramatically speed up their plans, according to an article in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. First, the property they had their eyes on unexpectedly went up for sale. Then, Kevin's work place went out of business. And so, The Red Door Inn of Canandaigua, New York, is now open for business.
