How Large an Inn Should I Buy?
Are You a Foodie Looking for a New Career? Operating a B&B Could Be Your Dream Come True
According to Jay Karen, of Professional Innkeepers International, “It’s a great outlet for foodies, who get to make great breakfasts and snacks.” Other personal assets that make for successful innkeeping is that of hospitality – it is one of the qualities guest most relish.
Most innkeepers of bed and breakfast inns today in the United States have chosen innkeeping as a second career having come from another profession or industry and choose running an inn as a less stressful, more creative option. Many innkeepers keep a hand in their former work and some have gone back to a full-time career to sustain their inn during the economic downturn.

Re the Big Bear, there’s so much to do here in this mountain town – This is where you can go skiing in the morning, stop for lunch in the desert and then swim in the ocean a couple hours later on a Southern California beach. It takes 1 hour and 54 minutes to drive from mid Los Angeles to Big Bear.

Lot’s to do in Big Bear for sure. Snowboarding, skiing, sledding in winter, hiking and family fun in spring, summer and fall. And there’s a big Octoberfest.
