Do You Have What It Takes
To Become An Innkeeper?

The B&B Team has been working with Aspiring Innkeepers for fourteen years locally, regionally, and nationally. We are pleased to be offering innkeeping seminars for those who are seriously considering this wonderful profession.  This summer, The B&B Team will be offering The Innkeeper’s Resource ™ Seminar for Aspiring Innkeepers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. To read what some of our recent attendees have said, click here.

Your inn seminar guides will be founding partner Peter Scherman and partners and former Innkeepers, Janet & Rick Wolf.

There is no substitute for real life experiences! With our combined knowledge and experiences in acquisition, valuation, financing options, staffing, innkeeping and hospitality you will be fully immersed in an intensely informative three day seminar.  On a lighter note, you will enjoy the conversation and camaraderie with different experienced and successful Innkeepers both evenings. 

As an Aspiring Innkeeper you need a clear vision of innkeeping as a business and a lifestyle.  In your seminar we will address and work with you to understand all aspects of this wonderful and rewarding career. Our goal is to insure that your goals are met as you work through the process.  We will work with you to help you decide whether innkeeping is the right profession for you, personally and financially.

Your seminar provides a comprehensive overview of innkeeping from Amenities to Zoning. Examples of the many essential topics we will cover are: 

• creating your Inn’s profile
• full service vs. bed & breakfast
• defining and finding the right property
• due diligence
• discussions of property assessments and valuations
• identifying financing options
• establishing a sound business and marketing plan 
• daily operations of an Inn
• exploring the personal side of Innkeeping

The cost of your seminar is $495.00 for two people or $375.00 for a single, which includes all meals, breaks, and seminar materials.  In addition to the seminar itself, as a seminar graduate you will be entitled to a personal, half day modeling session with one of us at our office, either in Maine or Virginia. The cost of your lodging during the seminar is additional, and we have negotiated a favorable rate for our seminar attendees at the beautiful Iris Inn in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, Waynesboro, VA. Dinner our first evening together is casual; Saturday night is a gourmet affair, and you are the guests of The B&B Team for both, plus your lunch on Saturday.

Upon confirmation of your seminar registration we will provide you with information as to making your lodging reservations.  Attendees should plan on checking in as close to 3:00 PM as possible as the Opening Session will begin at 4:00 PM Friday afternoon.  Please plan on departing after 2:30 PM on Sunday.

Please do not hesitate to call or email us with any questions you may have regarding this seminar and the other services we provide for Aspiring and Current Innkeepers.
