In today's episode, we're diving into the hot topic of grills at B&Bs and rental properties. Why don't we allow them? Well, it's a combination of safety concerns, peace of mind, and a bit of insurance. I'll share a story of melted siding from a grill and why we believe it's worth the potential missed bookings.
