Pine Acre Bed & Breakfast

When you open a bed and breakfast, you should be aware of how to run one. Karen does not. She does not even greet you, she just leaves a note on the door. A lot of notes. With 1000 Do Not Do’s. Do not come in the back door, even though the front door has an extremely steep hill entrance. Do not sit on the back porch. Do not touch anything in the house. Do not use any part of the house, the entire house is off-​limits, except for the front porch and your room. Need ice? Too bad. Need a glass? Too bad. Need to use a second bathroom on the main floor because you are a party of five and there is only one bathroom on the bedroom level? Too bad. She never asks for your preferences, or even if you will be wanting breakfast. She is never there, but seems to want you to mind read what she expects of her guests. And best of all — while you are out, she will go through your things in your closed-​door bedroom — she will re-​arrange them, she will repack your items, she will even throw out items! We actually had to put some of our things in our car and lock it, for security. This is not a bed and breakfast, it’s a private home that she begrudgingly allows you to stay in a room. Better yet, she’d rather you just leave your money on the table and not stay there at all. We have never felt so unwelcome in any place we’ve ever visited. Period. We were happy and relieved to leave after our short stay; not what you would think anyone wants their guests to feel as they depart. I’d rather sleep in my car.
