Innkeeper Training
If you’ve dreamed of running your own bed and breakfast, learn before you leap! Take a “working vacation” and join Steve and Dusty at the Lion and the Rose to learn the ins-and-outs of innkeeping. We will custom tailor a hands-on training program to meet your needs.
Since taking over the B&B in October 2002, our bookings are up 90%. We now host over 2,000 guests a year in 8 guest rooms. We’re prepared to share all we’ve learned.
Depending on time of year and your training requirements, add $500 – $1,000 per week to charge for room and breakfast.
