A Dream House for Guests

A few years ago, in 2022, two sisters named Kristen and Kathryn did something very special. They bought a big, old house. This was not just any house. It was a manor that was over 100 years old!

They had a big dream. They wanted to turn the house into a bed and breakfast. A bed and breakfast is a cozy place where people can stay for the night. In the morning, the owners make them a yummy breakfast! The sisters thought running a bed and breakfast would be a perfect job. They loved having people visit, they loved to travel, and they loved meeting new friends.

Kristen and Kathryn worked very hard. They painted rooms and found beautiful old furniture. They wanted the house to feel warm and happy. They named their new business The Rose Manor.

Just two months after they got the keys to the house, they were ready! They welcomed their very first guests.

The sisters were young when they started. Some people thought only grandmas ran bed and breakfasts! But Kristen and Kathryn showed that anyone with a dream can do it.

They used the internet to share pictures and stories about their manor. Many people saw their posts and came to visit from all over.

Now, the sisters work at the bed and breakfast every day. They make beds, cook breakfast, and make sure their guests have a wonderful time. They are very happy they followed their dream. They get to work together in their beautiful old house and meet new people every day. They say it was the best decision they ever made!
