Comments or Questions

Before Covid I had run my retreat where people would come and stay for a weekend or sometimes a month but not much longer. With Covid I had to have guests stay longer and now I am trying to go back to having guests only visit short term (one week min up to a few months) but the numbers do not add up. I am making more with longer term guests but want to figure out how to manage everything and go back to my former plan. I am older and have had serious health issues so having the longer term has been good for that too. I need to find a way to attract guests who want to come to Flower Hill Farm Retreat for what it is -- make it the destination. Thank you for any help with this. Carol
