What is the Difference between a Bed and Breakfast and a Guesthouse?

Accommodations listed as traditional bed and breakfasts generally have the owner living in the house and providing a sit-down breakfast, either served family-style or delivered to your door.

Guesthouses are more common. Guesthouse accommodations may or may not include a Continental Breakfast, full kitchen, or other amenities. The homeowner generally does not live on the property, and you will often have an entire home to yourselves.

Please remember you are not staying in a hotel with room service, maids or repairmen on duty. Should a failure occur in the utilities, television, V.C.R., etc., please contact the owner or manager of the property. Gästehaus Schmidt does not manage, clean or repair the homes we represent. We will provide you the appropriate contact information. However, your charges will not be refunded.

To protect the privacy of our guests, we have not listed the addresses of the homes on this site, and will not release them unless someone makes a reservation. If you have made a group reservation under one name, we will only release information about the house to the person who made the reservation. Please make sure everyone in your party has a copy of the map we mail you. Gästehaus Schmidt will not be responsible if any of your party does not receive directions to their accomodation.
