When all the motels and inns are full and Vermonters offer their rooms to tourists, how much do they charge? How much do they have to get to make up for the inconvenience of having strangers traipsing through their house and upseting their daily routines? I imagine it must be a hefty sum!! In that case it's not so much friendlyness as it is a chance to make a quick (tax free) buck.
Nothing against Vermonters, it's just human nature for people to do this and I have heard about it happening elsewhere.
