Update on Cozy Guesthouse

We finally got everything finished up at the Cozy Guesthouse in mid-November.  We had our first booking the weekend of November 15 and it has been fairly steady ever since.  Sure is a good feeling to have it completed.  Boy, it took a lot of work and felt like we were so slow in getting it all done.  But then again, a lot has been going on in our lives this year, so I won't worry too much about our speed.  :)  We are all very happy with the set up.  Jonathan can fully use the house as he likes and we are able to rent it out periodically.  It was a long (and somewhat costly) process to go through planning & zoning and then get city council approval, but it was worth it.  We are very happy with the way things have worked out.  Here are the photos that we took just before the first renters arrived.  I do need to have Jackson take professional photos for me to use on the Airbnb site... one of these days.  For now, these will do.  (Note - we do have his photos up throughout the house and even as magnets on the fridge!)

We have books by local authors and also some good reading books
from the Truman library sale on those shelves.  :) 

Jonathan removes his computer before guests come...

We use this August keypad lock to allow guests to self check-in.
It has worked really well for us.

I've even added more books since this photo was taken...

And here are the books in the 2nd bedroom - more local history here.

I have some local history and info, plus
carry out/delivery menus in the house manual.  :) 

One of the books by Dr. Jim Thomas.  He was a great man.  

For a tiny bit of reference... here was one of the first posts about this house - when it transitioned from Jackson and Brianna's house to Jonathan's house (and was on its way to becoming the cozy guesthouse).  This (below) was posted in May but the photos are from late February!!
