Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Sandy and John Rowe acquired the Hines Mansion on December 24th, 2002 and immediately enjoyed a fabulous old-fashioned Christmas in the Mansion to christen their new venture. Assisted by their daughter, Megan, John and Sandy are continuing the Mansion's tradition of quality service and great hospitality. The Mansion became a Bed and Breakfast in 1995.
What is your primary product or service?
The Hines Mansion offers a wonderful "at home" Victorian elegance and service close to Brigham Young University, the Provo River, Sundance, and Historic Downtown Provo, Utah. Our nine rooms are tasteful and distinctive. Personal comforts for our guests include a private bath and a two-person jetted tub in every room, a bottle of sparkling cider on your arrival, and a tasty and satisfying hot breakfast every morning. Take a look around - you'll love it here. Stay here for your honeymoon, anniversary, weekend get-a-way or adult family retreat. We also offer a special ambiance for executive meetings, small weddings and summer lawn receptions, as well.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
John and Sandy purchased the Hines when they retired from busy corporate life. Sandy says "It was love at first sight!" She also expresses love for Provo and the multitude of cultural and recreational opportunities the area offers.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
The Hines Mansion is one of the very few Victorian Homes remaining in Provo and, uniquely, it is the only Bed and Breakfast in town. The B & B has nine rooms and provides personal service to all quests.
