I have a great idea for a bed and breakfast. The area I am interested is becoming more and more a hot spot for family and couples. I don't know where to go from here. Any help would be great.

The best routes to take are to research the process of starting a business as well as the industry you're interested in.
I recommend checking out the SBA, Entrepreneur, The Start Up Journal & Nolo. All 4 are great informational resources for the new/small business owner. I posted links for you in the source box.
Associations may be a good avenue to explore as well. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.
Research, research, research – this cannot be stressed enough. Read as much as you can about the industry. Here are some book titles that are relevant:
* How to Start and Operate Your Own Bed-and-Breakfast: Down-To-Earth Advice from an Award-Winning B&B Owner by Martha W. Murphy
* How to Open and Operate a Bed & Breakfast, 7th by Jan Stankus
* Upstart Guide Owning & Managing a Bed & Breakfast by Lisa Angowski Rogak
* Start and Run a Profitable Bed and Breakfast by Monica Taylor
There are plenty of free informational resources out there. Check the source box for links to articles.
Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!
