Sisters open bed and breakfast in Welland, Ontario

Sisters Kristen and Kathryn Groom opened The Rose Manor, a bed and breakfast in Welland, Ontario, in May 2022. They had no prior hospitality experience but were inspired by the TV show "Gilmore Girls" to pursue this venture. The sisters documented their journey on TikTok, showcasing their DIY projects and community support. Their efforts attracted younger guests and increased wedding inquiries, leading them to focus on the B&B full-time. The Tudor-style inn, built in 1906, offers views of the Welland Canal and is near Niagara Falls. The sisters now live on-site and involve their family in the business, making it a collaborative effort.
