Next Stop - Mid-Atlantic Innkeepers Trade Show & Conference

4th Annual Mid-Atlantic InnKeepers Trade Show & Conference - Lancaster, PA

The 2011 PAII Innkeeping Conference & Trade Show in Charleston, SC was a great success. While at home recovering from a poorly timed bout of flu, my colleagues and clients reported from the action. All agree: the opportunities to learn, network and advance our Innkeeping industry were awesome. My wife and I attended some “virtual” workshops from home which were excellent. I’m certain there will be more virtual offerings in the future as technology advances. However, face-to-face meetings are still the best way to build human relationships, and to inspire collaboration. So, I am really excited about the 4th Annual Mid-Atlantic Innkeepers Conference!

Bed & Breakfast Innkeepers from all over the Mid Atlantic Region will come to Lancaster, PA on March 6th,7th & 8th, to learn more about regional tourism, marketing, food trends and technology. And to network! Conference organizers include Lancaster county Innkeepers who are eager to roll out the carpet for their neighboring Innkeepers. Partners include state B&B Associations. Of course, nationally known industry experts will be there to educate and entertain as well. And I will be there to welcome you! So if you haven’t already registered, please do.

Keywords of success for this Ohio Bed and Breakfast For Sale - Rest, Relax, Renew

 The Innkeepers at Murphin Ridge Inn, Ohio Bed and Breakfast for sale, keep customers coming by staying focused on what they do best: provide rest, relaxation and renewal. That is just one reason this 141 acre, Select Registry, Inn and Restaurant thrives even during the "dark season" of winter.

A winter afternoon at Murphin Ridge may include a hike on the Inn’s woodland trails followed by a blissful massage. Nightlife at Murphin Ridge begins with a sumptuous dinner by the fireside, continues with watching the moon rise over a fresh dusting of snow and may end by falling asleep to the call of a Whip-poor-will. There may be no better time to offer gently rejuvenating experiences than right after the holidays, and the Murphin Ridge Innkeepers offer an assortment of packages and specials to make it easy for guests to imagine a perfect combination of RR&R elements. Whirlpool tubs (in every luxury Cabin) are deeply relaxing and romantic at any time of year, but especially so in winter.

There are 17 fireplaces at Murphin Ridge Inn and every room has comfy chairs and a country view. It is a wonderful place to watch the world fill up with snow. Snowfall makes extra work for the Innkeepers. But then, every season has its tasks and pleasures:

• Spring – Plant herbs and lettuce, spring cleaning. Watch songbirds build nests.
• Summer – Mow the field, make lemonade, pick tomatoes. Float in the swimming pool.
• Fall – Harvest late vegetables, rake leaves. Walk under maple trees, stargaze.
• Winter – Make soup, pour wine, shovel snow. Read by the fire, get a massage.

Of course, the Innkeepers and their staff have a much longer list of tasks, but they excel at making guests unaware of it. That is part of keeping the focus on providing rest, relaxation and renewal. It is another reason this Four Season Inn thrives.

The Innkeepers of Murphin Ridge Inn are ready to pass this excellent hospitality business on to new owners. Can you picture yourself providing guests with RR&R and award-winning cuisine in a peaceful country setting? If you can, please contact me – Spring will soon be here!
