Referrals

A quick note (since it's 2:30am and I have to make breakfast for seven in about 5 hours) that the day after we had our first repeat guests, we also had our first referred guests!

The weird part was, it wasn't a past guest who referred us, but a new guest who had just checked in. They went out to lunch and met another couple that had just driven to Lititz and didn't have reservations, and they told them about us. We just happened to have one room available, so it worked out perfectly.

On top of that, our repeat guests from last night told us they'd stayed at many B&Bs and ours was "the best." His words, not mine, and I was grinning ear to ear. Of course, I'm sure I lost that designation the next morning when my breadmaker turned out a soggy lump of dough and I completely forgot the first course. (Not sure how I missed one-third of breakfast, but it wasn't until we were clearing the dishes that I remembered.)

By the way, on Sunday October 8 from 1pm to 5pm, Historic York and the Historic Preservation Trust of Lancaster County will co-host this year's house tour, "ONE BRIDGE, TWO COUNTIES: The Most Memorable Historic House Tour Ever." If you're into historic architecture at all, you'll want to attend. We're not on the tour, so of course you'll want to stay here after the tour. :-) We're fully booked October 7 (thanks to the Lititz chocolate walk), but we have rooms available October 8, including the newly-renovated Paymaster's Office.
