Do you provide food for your guests?

Hello everyone!  For those who are House Hosts, Do you feed your guests or provide food or snacks for them?

Offering breakfast would be so much additional work!  Then you’d be B&B vs Airbnb. You could instead leave packaged breakfast options too.  Good Luck.  Hope you enjoy it and do well!   Welcome!

@Robin4 , what a lovely cheese board, and the salmon looks divine (your lucky guests)! 🙂

 

@Eileen462 , my space is an in-law apartment with a kitchen, so I provide a combination of easy breakfast items—cereal, organic instant oatmeal, and yogurt—plus eggs and fresh fruit. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and sugar-in-the-raw packets are always supplied, and I bake nut-free banana chocolate chip muffins for all stays. I drop a line to ask about milk preferences so I don’t end up getting the wrong thing, and that’s pretty much it. We’re in a historic area and most of the Airbnbs here are antique homes, whereas mine is a much more basic midcentury raised ranch, so I feel (hope) that providing breakfast options evens the playing field w/the fancier places. 😄 People do seem to appreciate it, based on comments.

@Susan653  Hi Susan!  I was thinking of providing breakfast croissant sandwiches or breakfast burritos as well  a lovely list of thing you provide!  Smiles,  Eileen

@Eileen462 We provide a bottle of wine from one of the local wineries, coffee, teas, sugar,  condiments,  a snack basket that includes chips, granola bars, crackers, chocolate bars or packaged cookies.  We used to provide microwave popcorn but got tired of cleaning up popcorn bits from everywhere so nixed that pretty quickly.  

@Willene1  Hello Willene thats sounds so lovely.  I was thinking about offering a snack basket in their rooms.  Eileen

I always like to have something for our guests, since most of them arrive later in the day , milk for morning coffee, if there are children some cereals ( mini) for breakfast. A bottle of wine of course for our couples
