Photo Guidelines

  •  Make sure you are uploading photos bigger than the slide show frame you see on the site
  • Add photos larger than 100MB for better quality
  • Select image files that end with .jpg, .png, .gif, and .jpeg
  • Show the outside of the inn, common areas, or the rooms
  • Choose angles that accentuate the best features
  • Improve the lighting of the pictures
  • Update your pictures frequently to capture the changes in seasons or weather

 

Examples:
