Boasting an impressive 5-star rating on both TripAdvisor and Yelp, our establishment experiences high demand, with reservations consistently booked from March through the end of October. The popularity is evident as we’re compelled to decline several reservations each week. The income potential during this period is substantial, reaching $2415 per week for the upstairs accommodations (comprising 3 rooms at the current rate of $115 per night) and an additional $1050 per week for the downstairs apartment ($150 per night), culminating in a total earning potential of $3465 per week. Notably, we also accept reservations for Thanksgiving week and Christmas break.
Upon purchasing, the buyer has the opportunity to seamlessly assume the current reservations. The listing price encompasses the website, email, and branding. Moreover, the property possesses an annual lodging license for Columbia County valued at $300, an annual food and beverage license also priced at $300, and a local business license costing $60 annually. Importantly, there are no local motel or hospitality taxes, allowing us to retain the full nightly rate.
Our dedicated and trained staff is readily available for the transition, with current wages set at $16 to $20 per hour for employees responsible for room cleaning (two employees per room, requiring approximately 45 minutes per room). Included in the listing price are all essential supplies, equipment, and an ample overstock of necessities, ensuring seamless room turnovers without delays associated with laundry.
The bed & breakfast rooms are thoughtfully fully furnished, providing guests with a complete experience, while the main-level living quarters are offered unfurnished. Although events like weddings and business meetings aren’t currently hosted, we’ve received requests for such occasions. Having operated under our ownership for a decade, with a history tracing back to the “The Old Mill House” owners, The Carpenter’s Guest House boasts a solid foundation of reservations since our initial purchase.
Security measures include an installed system, and while the need for active service hasn’t arisen, outdoor cameras, including infrared capability, have been set up, though not yet connected to monitors.
