The house I live in now is "big" for my wife and I. We are thinking about renting one or more rooms to visiting outdoor folks who are up for a weekend visit or vacation pass through. Kinda like a B&B cross with a rent a house with a built in cook/guide type but more for the recreation oriented crowd. Kinda like visiting your friend or brother in that town that has time to help out/participate with your adventure.
Has anyone encountered such a thing here in the States?Whenever my wife and I are on holiday and we are not camping or staying with a friend, we often rent a little place with a kitchen, place to do laundry, that typical home rental thing. But often, I felt that I was missing the local scene. Rarely is there someone to ask local advise, provide advise, sort of that local's advantage that travelers value.
So I was wondering if besides offering a place to stay, our place would have a shop for bike repairs, and safe storage. Trails are right out the door, meals could be cooked, as well as a lunch made for guests. Maps and trail descriptions could be in the "planning" room, and in some situations I would be up for taking folks on the good trails, that sort of thing.
