As Interim Innkeepers, we provide you with a worry-free opportunity to get away from your Bed and Breakfast. Whether you need a short break, have an emergency situation, or need someone to take care of things for an extended period of time, you can count on us to handle your innsitting needs.

We have over 15 years hospitality experience as bed and breakfast owners for 10 years, and as Interim Innkeepers (Innsitters), Trainers and Consultants. We work as a team, are computer savvy and can operate a number of different reservation systems. As your inn may require, we provide exceptional breakfasts, appetizers and desserts for your guests.

Our mission, as interim innkeepers, is to ensure that your B&B continues to operate at the same standard of excellence that you provide when you are there. You can feel comfortable leaving your property in the care of experienced, trustworthy professional innkeepers. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, and will care about your B&B, and your guests, as if they were our own. Your income stream will continue while you are away, and you won’t miss any future reservation opportunities.

In addition, we also offer hands on seminar training to Aspiring Innkeepers and Aspiring Interim Innkeeper as well as consulting services to those who plan to open their own Bed & Breakfast or currently own a B&B.

We are Tom and Gwen Paton, who recently retired from 12 years of Innkeeping, having owned and operated two separate B&Bs since 1995 in Michigan and Virginia. We remodeled both turn-of-the-century buildings, turned both businesses around and established ourselves as premier lodging establishments in the areas. Who better could you trust with your bed and breakfast, than seasoned innkeepers? We will travel throughout the US and are very accessible to the entire east coast. The following qualities will make us your first choice when considering an innsitter:

•Detail oriented, dependable, punctual
•Experienced bed and breakfast owners, previously
•Computer savvy
•Mechanically inclined – good trouble shooter
•Excellent cooking skills with emphasis on presentation
•Friendly and outgoing personalities without being overbearing
•Professional appearance and demeanor

As innkeepers in Michigan and Virginia, we hired an innsitter to manage our B&B while we went on some relaxing vacations. We realize how important it is for innkeepers to have time to rest and relax without worrying about your property. Why close your Inn and lose revenue when you can hire us to sit “Inn Your Place.” Let us manage your Inn as your interim innkeepers so you can relax and enjoy a change of pace. You get two for the price of one because we work as a team! We will, however, work as a single as well.

Our 12 year career as innkeepers allowed us to gain knowledge and experience first-hand as we were involved in the daily management and operation of our B&Bs. We had thousands of wonderful guests, served beautiful breakfasts, mapped out many a day trip, fluffed pillows, cleaned rooms, fixed a leaky faucet or whatever it took. Plus, we are computer savvy innkeepers. This important experience translates to a smooth transition to working as an interim innkeeper for you.

Prior to our Innkeeping days which began in 1995, Gwen was in office management and Tom owned and managed a mountain restaurant in Colorado for 12 years with a combined total of 25 years in the hospitality industry.

We look forward to innsitting for you and will work to come up with a plan that will fit your needs. Our pricing structure is fully negotiable. We are ready to sit “Inn Your Place” and are anxious to talk to you about your needs and our interim innkeeper services.
