Below are links to all of her entries into The Innkeeper's Diary, which I consider must-reads for any aspiring bed and breakfast innkeeper.
The Dream Begins (Entry #1)
How the idea to run a bed and breakfast first entered Eleanor's mind.
The Search is On (Entry #2)
Eleanor talks about her experiences trying to find a bed and breakfast to purchase.
It's All in the Details... Creating Calm from Chaos (Entry #3)
Eleanor arrives at her recently purchased inn only to discover it's not nearly as ready for business as she thought it was.
We Are Open! (Entry #4)
Finally! Eleanor's inn is open for business and she welcomes the first guests to Bluemont Bed and Breakfast.
NOTE: Since this feature was originally posted, Eleanor and her husband ran the Bluemont Bed and Breakfast for several years before retiring.
