Betty’s Bed and Breakfast



Betty Florins had a dream.  She wanted to turn the home she had shared with her husband Thaddeus, for thirty years, into a welcoming bed and breakfast.  After Thaddeus had died Betty had rattled around in the large home they had once hoped would be filled with children and happiness. 

Once a decent period of grieving had passed Betty made her plan real. Betty’s Bed and Breakfast still serves as a hospitable place for a traveller to spend a few nights and enjoy the beauty of Betty’s home.  She always has little treats for the younger guests that she carefully chooses from Lucy Landry’s delightful store.  

Betty’s Bed and Breakfast boasts seven luxurious rooms, ambrosial gardens and a relaxing patio.  Guests to the Bed and Breakfast are encouraged to enjoy all the facilities and beauty that the home offers.  Although they are free to explore the magnificent abode there is one place in the house that has a red rope and a note written in delicate handwriting forbidding entry to the general public.  The door that is locked to guests leads downward into the cavernous basement. Most that pass the bolted door assume that it serves merely as a service and storage area for the Bed and Breakfast.  Guests that sometimes think they hear something that makes them pause for a fleeting, unsettling moment shrug off whatever they thought they heard and continue on their way.  

As happens in small towns many rumours abound about the basement of Betty’s Bed and Breakfast and what is actually down there.  Whispered gossip aside the Bed and Breakfast always offers a place of beauty and sanctuary to the weary traveller.
