This Innkeeper Passion Statement comes from the heart of Linda Horn, who, along with her husband Bill, are the innkeepers of Whispering Pines Bed and Breakfast, located in Dellroy, Ohio:
In 1985, my husband, Bill, and I stayed at our first bed and breakfast and, like many other people, said “Wouldn’t this be fun to do someday?” Little did we know that in two short years we would discover the lovely area of Atwood Lake. An old Victorian house in need of TLC called out to us, but from the porch we fell in love with the spectacular lake view – instantly, our lives were changed.
Our passion began with renovating the existing home, and has continued with additions and improvements. We created a place for busy couples to retreat … where they could disconnect from everyday life and reconnect with each other. Our joy is reading their journal entries as they speak from the heart.
Fast forward 20 years, and we still take care of our guests in the same way we did when we opened. We love what we do and have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world, and from every walk of life. We have laughed with them, cried at times, had dinner together, become friends – and they have all inspired us in one way or another. We are grateful to everyone who has walked through our doors and look forward to meeting new friends.
I’ll see you at Whispering Pines,
Linda
