Build a Sense of Community Among Your Guests

Here's a fun suggestion that may help gain repeat guests.

Provide a recipe book in the kitchen of your vacation home. Add to it, on the first page, one of your prized recipes and explain that, it is your intention to spread the knowledge. Ask each guest to leave their own prize winning recipe in the book and to attempt to cook the recipes of others, adding comments like; "Wow! This apple tart recipe is a winner! Thank you, Carol!"...

I think it is a fun way to build a sense of community among your guests. They will be anticipating their next stay when they can get to read through all the fun, exciting (possibly even exotic) new recipes they can try out while away from home.
