Three Roses Bed and Breakfast

Three Roses Bed and Breakfast is owned and operated by David and Sharon Hansen. David works full time so
the daily operation of the bed and breakfast is Sharon's job. David is her "handyman". They have been married
for over 10 years.

Sharon's 3 grown daughters were the inspiration for the name "Three Roses Bed & Breakfast". Sharon says her
daughters are like roses, each is beautiful in her own way, but different. Three of the guest rooms are named after
the girls: Jennifer, Monica and Marcia. Sharon's china pattern is "Old Country Roses" so fits in very well with the
theme of the bed and breakfast.

A former registered nurse, Sharon doesn't like to travel, loves having company, and loves to feed people so a bed
and breakfast is just about the perfect job for her. She enjoys making others' travels more like home but with her
doing the work.

There is one cat in the Hansen household. The cat, "Miss Kitty" stays in the basement. (A highly allergic guest
states she cannot tell there is a cat in the house.) "Miss Kitty" likes to tear up the furniture, so she doesn't get to
come upstairs.) We have two Yorkies who are Sharon's pride and joy next to her daughters. Koko is a two year
old male that we adopted in October of 2009. Then we have Mitzi who we adopted in August of 2010. Both were
rescues. They are great friends and keep Sharon smiling just about all the time. Sharon has fosterd 4 rescues
but just had to adopt Mitzi since she and Koko were so fond of each other. Both like to greet our guests, but Mitzi
is the most outgoing. Koko tends to hide behind Mom but Mitzi will run right over to you and beg to be picked up.
She has even slept with a few of our guests who said it was the highlight of their stay.

Sharon has two mottoes when it comes to the operation of the bed and breakfast: "Do unto others as you would
have them do unto you" and "Always give the customer more than they pay for". This philosophy has garnered
the Guest Favorite Award for 2007 and 2011 from BnBFinder.com. Three Roses was also awarded the Property
of Distinction award for excellence in the bed and breakfast category from BnBFinder.com.
