ANCHOR INN — Owned by Jean and Robert Kennedy, the Anchor Inn on SR 13 in Syracuse, offers a family style bed and breakfast alternative for local travelers. A country breakfast is part of the amenities offered there as is a no smoking environment.

Bed and Breakfasts have much to offer visitors

Tired of the impersonal, cookie cutter feel of the typical hotel room? Bed and breakfast inns may be just the thing. In the Lakeland area, several families have opened their homes to busy travelers who crave the easy, warmer atmosphere their establishments provide. Robert and Jean Kennedy opened their large, rambling house for business in 1986, after a move to this area from Alaska. The home was bought with another type of business in mind but the real goal was to provide Jean, a registered nurse, with a chance to have a business at home. Ultimately, the home itself became a business, when, in Jean’s words, it became, “a lot of house after we got here.” Visitors at the Anchor Inn experience a real family home and enjoy a full "country breakfast,” in the morning.

Jean says, “It varies, I don’t have anything set that I offer.” Jean believes bed and breakfast inns are becoming popular in this area because some people just want something different about their experience when they are away from home and may want to see how others live. She adds, “We think it’s nicer than just a regular motel.” Jean notes that each bed and breakfast is different. Hers, for example, is a no smoking facility. Also, the Kennedys hope to provide the personal touch to their guests, keeping in mind all the while, “This is our home and it’s that first before it’s anything else." Jean says they are pleased with the business they’ve had. While the rooms are filled much during the winter, business is heavy from Memorial Day to Labor Dav. (Continued on page 13)
