About Us

The Affordable Innsitter Team

All innkeepers need time for rest, relaxation, and pampering that they provide to guests of their own. Our goal is to give affordable, dependable and gracious service your visitors deserve and expect. Whether you need someone for a weekend or a month or more, we can step in and keep your B&B or inn running smoothly. We are committed to serving your guests with extraordinary hospitality and warmth to keep them returning.

Louise began her career in the inn and b&b industry with the purchase of a 7 room country inn located in Southern Vermont.   Her decision to transition from the administrative side of health care to pursue a lifestyle that would capitalize on her desire to join the hospitality business would allow her to utilize her love of cooking, baking and meeting people.  Her knowledge of the travel industry and computer skills enabled her to take a sleepy inn with no internet access or marketing in place and bring it alive again.  She helped create a website that allowed an on line tour and utilized a full on line reservation system, Guest Tracker, which was compatible with WorldRes, Webervations and Inntopia.  At her own inn a full country breakfast was served along with daily baked goods as well as an option for a 4-course dinner.  Intimate weddings, civil unions and other special occasion gatherings were also accommodated.  A desire to spend more time with her 4 grandchildren and family at her home on the Oregon Coast, she has made the move to innsitting vs. inn ownership. Louise’s knowledge and experience of owning an inn will bring knowledge in all aspects of operating your inn to insure your guests will have an enjoyable and comfortable stay and they will be properly cared for in your absence.

Skip, Louise’s husband, a former health care executive assists with his knowledge of marketing and financial management and is helpful with those daily maintenance issues.  His love of cooking compliments her abilities and he also enjoys meeting and conversing with the guests during their visit.
