The White Hats - Inn Sitters / Keepers

We love people and we love to cook, so now that we are "retired" we have decided to return to what we love best, running an inn! We have over ten years experience in the bed and breakfast/inn business and look forward to many more.

We started with a small, three room homestay in Connecticut where we managed out first inn from top to bottom. From there, we headed south to the North Carolina shore where we owned and operated our very own establishment, The Beacon House Inn, which included nine rooms and a three bedroom cottage.

Moving inland to escape the hurricanes, Peg became an office manager for a local church in Wilson, NC and Jerry became involved in tax preparation. He managed the tax office for seven years before venturing out on his own. He is retired from the Navy after spending 20 years in the submarine service.

After receiving a call of distress, we stepped in at Miss Betty's Bed & Breakfast Inn in Wilson, NC. We agreed to stay for 2 - 4 weeks and wound up there for 14 months! We stayed on while new owners bought the property (now the Whitehead Inn), completed extensive renovations and transitioned into innkeepers! We still go back periodically and inn sit. Now we are on to other inns and having a wonderful time as we travel to different locations.

Getting "back in the saddle" has made us both realize innsitting is just the right fit for the two of us and that we love absolutely every minute of it.

Also, we have acquired quite a reputation for our gourmet breakfasts. Our belief is that anyone who stays at a bed and breakfast/inn should never go hungry and that the food should be served special. It should be something they would not make themselves or can be found in a restaurant. We plate and serve our food to each guest to ensure the freshest breakfast possible.

Our specialties include:

- Lemon Soufflé Pancakes with Raspberry Sauce
- Blintz Casserole with Strawberry Sauce, Toasted Almonds and Sour Cream
- Baked French Toast with Cinnamon Vanilla Sauce (made with Jerry's homemade bread)
- Ginger Pancakes with a Lemon Cream Cheese Topping
- Hawaiian Ambrosia with an Orange-Vanilla Sauce
- Pears with Almond Cheese Filling Topped with Strawberry Sauce

The two of us are computer literate and experienced office managers.

We are presently looking to run an inn, large or small, for a few weeks at a time. We would prefer a short contract due to the fact we are "supposedly" retired. We are ready and willing to travel anywhere within the United States or Canada. We are looking forward to working with you!
