What inspired you to launch your own website?
I loved this home when i saw it for the firs time and saw how much potential it had as a Bed and Breakfast Inn. Although we are only using it as a Vacation /ski rental, the general idea is the same.

January this year and this was it
How did you decide on a name for your website?
We liked the German spelling of House= Haus and hope to appeal to the Euro crowd
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
Swiss chalet charm. Its not in the mountains but near the mountains. So if not everyone in your group wants to ski, there are other options, like shopping.

How has running your website differed from your expectations?
It is harder to change things in it than I expected.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
We have run it for about 2 months. We will keep it as long as we own the home.
