I was surprised to receive my first booking because I thought I hadn't "published" my post yet. LOL. The information I put in is not what I want permanently, and I figured I would edit it when I'm ready to go live. I intended to learn my way around the site before being active.
The gentleman whose nine-night reservation had to be canceled was very kind and understanding when I told him Big Rock Guest House was being remodeled and unavailable. We hope the remodel will be complete in a couple of months. Meanwhile, I will be poking around this website, trying to learn best practices and meeting other hosts. I learned how to block nights and cancel reservations. (smile emoji)
Thank you, AirB&B. I'm excited to get started.
