Gill and I met them at Privateer Days. They were standing behind a table talking to people about seasonal rentals. Gill owns a house right beside her main home here in Nova Scotia that she calls Peace and Plenty. She rents it out for short periods of time during the summer season normally one week at a time. The company managing it is in Shelburne which is not ideal so Gill is unhappy with her rental company. Because of that, she and I stopped to chat with the nice couple who have moved here from Holland and who now handle seasonal rentals, along with their own Blueberry Inn B&B.
One thing led to another. When Gill's current contract expires, Gill will use the new people. And I agreed to have them come and look at the Guest House to see about renting it out when we are not here. Both Ken and I met with them both and liked them, resulting in us allowing them to rent the Guest House when it is empty and the main house when we are not here. Neither of us know if this is a good idea or not but we will find out. This season, we must leave early to get to Texas for our 55th, so for the best part of the season, both houses will be empty, which seemed a shame. This is such a lovely spot that it seemed selfish to leave it closed up so we are allowing it to be rented out. The Guest House will be fine as it is new but the main house is full of personal belongings and family photographs. I refuse to move them. As with every new venture, we must find out how things work out.
It is a perfect example of one thing leading to another and heading us onto the unknown!!
