How about “Please Stay Here We Put All Our Money Into This” Inn Ok, sorry to be snarky. Seriously thought it would be hard to come up with a name that hasnt been used before. Maybe you should tell us if your decorating it to a particular theme like mountains or forest or something. Will each unit have a fireplace or wood stove? What will be the style of food you serve? ---

1. Bed, Breakfast and Beyond ## (I think it would be legal…not a trademark infringment of the chain store. And it’s easy to remember. Plus, it’s early in the alphabet. 🙂 ) 1. The Little House on the Mountaintop Silly, and sounds like a tacky TV show. But it’s easy to remember. You want your patrons to be able to remember you…so when they tell their friends two years later about that nice B&B they once went to, they won’t say, “it was a wonderful place, but geez, , I can’t remember exactly where it was–on a quiet rural road someplace in New England…I dunno, maybe if I’m lucky I still have the phone number written down someplace.” ---

Bryn is the Welsh word for hilltop and meets your criteria for an early alphabetic character to place it early on lists. As with Bryn Mawr, you could incorporate it with another component like Vista, Dell, etc. For example, Bryn Dael Lodge sounds nice. ---

(I’m guessing that’s a minority of the customers, though.) **Bryn Elc** is Moose Hill, and **Bryn Arth** is Bear Hill, neither of which should be too difficult for most people. ---

I was going to go with the French and say Belle Vue…but on second thought, nah. Bella Vista might work, or maybe you could Anglicize it (sort of) to Bel Vista. ---

How about something in Esperanto? I think it adds a bit of cultural intrigue while still being pronounceable. Waterfall - Akvofalo Forest - Arbaro Ridge - Kresto Inn - Gastejo Bear - Urso ---
