Give your guests a taste of bed and breakfast hospitality during their visit. Use these four innkeeper tricks of the trade to recreate a little country inn ambiance in your house.

The first step is to create a cozy guest room. At Casa Laguna Inn & Spa in Laguna Beach, California, guests enjoy a room with plenty of amenities, from the fluffy robes to the luxuriously made beds to the CD and DVD players. Your house might not be quite as opulent, but you can still top the bed with soft linens, fluffy comforters and plenty of good pillows. A basket of toiletries is a thoughtful touch, offering easily forgotten items such as toothpaste or hair spray. You can even include a selection of books, magazines, CDs and DVDs. A bouquet of fresh flowers will make your guests feel especially welcome.
