Innkeeper Comments and References
"Six years ago Pattie Jones was referred to Colonial Gardens B&B as an innsitter by another B&B and we have continued to use her several times a year ever since. She is invaluable in many ways. Not only does she run the inn efficiently in our absence, but is computer savvy and is able to respond to all our emails and use our reservation software. But the most important aspect is that our guests love her - her cooking, friendliness and enthusiasm keeps them coming back."

"Pattie Jones has been our Innsitter at the Inn at Monticello for several years. I cannot say enough about  her professional attitude, her ability to treat our guests just as we would, and her willingness to help our staff keep the inn running smoothly in our absence.
When we first met Pattie we had her stay with us just a couple of times a year, but as the years passed we realized that she was what was making it possible for us to continue as inn owners without getting burned out. We were able to vacation, visit family and attend a variety of functions because we had the knowledge that Pattie had our inn up and running just as we would if we were home.
I have recommended her many times to other innkeepers because she keeps your inn running and serving guests while you are away, she answers the phone and makes future bookings, she provides care for the property in case of emergency, and our cats love her! She is a great asset to your property!"

 "Pattie Jones has been our innsitter for over 7 years. She is most capable and can run our business without any input from us. She has been through hurricanes, ice storms, loss of electricity, failed appliances and blown furnaces all unassisted by us.
Our guests leave raves in our guest books. She is imaginative and reliable. We leave our B&B everytime happily knowing she's at the helm. We have been on trips as short as a weekend and as long as a month and we can step back into our role as host refreshed and grateful that Pattie was here."

From a guest at Governor’s Trace B&B
Dear Patty,
Dick & Sue are surely blessed to have you be here in their absence. I’ve never met them but I can’t imagine they could make us feel any more cared for, special or welcome than you have. I am so thankful that we were able to spend a couple of days here. Breakfast served on beautiful dishes in our room by candle light was wonderful. I must say that the afternoon we arrived and you brought us coffee to our room while we settled in was a grateful touch. We have stayed in B&B’s for years and love them. The 2 we had stayed in prior to coming here did not offer any coffee or even water on our arrival so we certainly appreciate you kindness and warmth. All of the special things you have done remind me of the 3 Sisters Inn, where we have stayed, Green Gables & Seven Cables in Monterey & Blue Lantern in Dana Point, California. Don’t change anything. Thank you again for all you did to make our vacation special.

"As our innsitter, Pattie has become a vital part of our organization. It is a relief to know that we  can now go on vacation and leave the Inn with someone who is not only reliable and skilled in all innkeeping aspects, but resourceful and respectful of our time away from the inn.
We know that if there is a problem while we are away, Pattie can and will do everything she can to fix the problem before "bothering" us! She is also very attentive and caring towards our pets."

"Patti has been our Inn Sitter several times now and what a delight to leave her in charge. From the moment she steps through the door we can mentally begin our vacation. It is a true delight to know that our guests, our business and our pets are going to be cared for as if we were here.
Patti’s experience and knowledge shows plus the fact that she is well traveled herself, makes her able to cope with the diversity of guests who stay at our Inn."
