Covid Hit
• We needed to take a breath, re-group and identify protocols
Needed to determine what we could clean and what we couldn’t
• Used CDC guidelines for cleaning products• Washed linens in hot water• Locked up toys and extra amenities• Made sure guests knew what we could and couldn’t do,
especially regarding the barn
It’s about setting and managing expectations
Giving guests room to relax and run around
To hike in the woods to the fairy houses
We also came up with new business ideas…and saw old ones increase in interest
Our goal is to weather the storm
With better protocols for safety
• Even when Covid is a thing of the past
So we can continue to offer this!
