My husband and I stumbled across this rustic log cabin a few days ago in St. Charles. Look! It’s for sale, too. The sign out front read, “Bed and Breakfast.” Oh my goodness. Pinch me.
The dreaming began…
Oh, I know. I know! “How about we run our own bed and breakfast?” I said.
Just saying it aloud gave value to the statement. We started talking seriously. Logistically. Realistically.
Pro: I love to bake and get gooey over hospitality.
Pro: Hubby is great at handyman fix-it-up things and troubleshooting.
Pro: The cabin is near Historic Main Street, a hopping tourist destination.
But…
As we drove further from the property, we were forced to own up. Truthfully? Breakfast isn’t our thing. Maybe we could offer a toaster pastry du jour or something.
We laughed how we most likely would buy our guests value meal breakfasts from some drive-through. We giggled about the misfortune of overnighters enduring a meal from the likes of us.
We decided running a bed and breakfast would not be a good idea at all. It would be disaster, heartache and probably bankruptcy waiting to happen.
