Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
3 years
What is your primary product or service?
bed & breakfast, event planning, and event venue
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We have a large home and 80 acres of land, which is ideal for having a variety of parties and other functions, indoors and outdoors. Since all of our children moved out, we also had extra bedrooms that were not being used. Since we like having guests and entertaining, we felt that a bed & breakfast/special events business would be the perfect way for us to use the resources that we had available to us.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We are the only bed and breakfast in Jackson County, and we offer a very peaceful place with lots of space for guests to feel free to roam and/or relax. We have hiking trails, a tennis court, swimming pool, a game room with a fireplace, pool table, and television, as well as a fireplace and wide-screen television in the main gathering room. There are also a limited number of event venues in our area, and we feel that ours is very different from any of the others in what we have to offer. We have a beautiful setting for outdoor weddings, with pastures and surrounding woods; and indoors, we have a very open and spacious entertaining area for parties and special events, as well as a beautiful sun room for our B & B guests and other small groups who are interested in afternoon tea parties, baby & bridal showers, brunches, and luncheons.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We have one location. The only expansion we plan for the future is to build an indoor wedding facility on our property that will hold up to 250 people, and to do some more grading for more parking areas and landscaping for a more elaborate outdoor garden wedding area.
