To be a country inn, a property does not have to be located in a rural area. Room numbers tend to range from 6 to 30. They often provide hotel-like services with a personal touch from employees. The size ranges from 15-50 rooms. The owner may be involved in daily operation, but generally a manager is responsible to a corporation.
Guests call one telephone number, usually toll-free, to make reservations.
Often, particularly in urban areas, this matching of guest and innkeeper gives you an opportunity to stay at a property otherwise not available. You'll talk with owners who know and love where they live. It can be the greatest of serendipitous experiences. And because each is unique, complete with its own wonder, you want to know if this is the right place for you. Innkeepers want you to have a great stay.
