She realiz-s that there is a lot of opposition and feels that the neighbors have a predetermined notions of wl: at a Bed and Breakfast (hereafter referred to as d B&B) would be like elsewhere. What we really want to do is first and foremost is have this as cur home. We would have very limited house guests coming and staying, mainly just on week -ends. Our main objective is to restore the house to its original state and maintain it. We have contacted all of the neighbors and informed them of ou- plans. We feel that the way the house is located and because of the existing vegetation, the extra guests that would be staying, wouldn't even be noticed. There are seven bedrooms but only four rooms would be available for guests. We feel that the history of the area is so valuable to maintain. So much of it has been lost. We are looking at our home - not a business. McDonald stated she felt that what t -- neighbors were trying to say is that people are people and it is hard to control their actions.
