40 Putney Road B&B, Social Media Mecca Brattleboro VT, Travel Video PostcardForty Putney Road B&B Social Media Mecca in Brattleboro VT. Travel Video Postcard.
The street address for Forty Putney Road is actually 192 Putney Rd in Brattleboro Vermont…it’s a long story. Tim and Amy Brady, Innkeepers of the six guest room Brattleboro B&B, are all over the social media. They have developed a robust following for their Facebook page and the Forty Putney Road You Tube channel is loaded with playful vids about their Brattleboro B&B, and what’s happening in the surrounding Vermont countryside. Forty Putney road boasts a pool table front and center, a secluded Hot tub in a little backyard cottage, and Tim and Amy’s pride and joy, their own small Brew Pub.
The surprise discovery? A whopping 95 percent of travelers never consider staying at a B and B when making travel plans.
Tim said that the main reason travelers are B and B averse, especially younger travelers, is that they don't want to have to talk to strangers or eat breakfast with people they don’t know.
In other words the "new" traveler dosen't seek the very intimate experience for which inns and B and B's world-wide are celebrated.
"We know from the study," Tim says , "that these travelers are afraid of the B and B experience... " “Yes,” Amy interrupts, in the maner of couples everywhere. "They don't want the innkeepers hovering over them, being sure their needs are met. They want more anonymity."
