What exactly are you offering for their money?
I can see there being some interest in lifestyle friendly accommodation, but those customers are mostly going to be people traveling with their partners or to meet playmates, not just subs traveling alone.
What you seem to be suggesting is somewhere aimed specifically at subs to come and get the 'serving' itch scratched. So effectively you would be offering yourselves as pro-dominants for an extended period of a few days. Your profile makes it clear that they will be paying you, and that they will be doing domestic chores and renovations. So what do they get in return? Very few people are so much into the service-only submission that they will pay to do your laundry. Are you going to be doing kink sessions?
Also your statement in your profile that they will be your slave in 'any/whatever capacity I decide'. But realistically if they are paying you for the privilege you are offering a service and will have to tailor it to their tastes and preferences to quite an extent, as well as respect their limits.
Ultimately paying for a vacation is a big chunk of a person's disposable income. I assume it will cost considerably more than a visit to the pro-domme's dungeon, and yet promises less. In addition to that vacation time is limited. You would also need to have a back up plan - who will cook, clean, change the beds, sweep the yard etc if the guests don't do it? In reality you won't be able to make them. Some people will show up and not like it, and leave, or just refuse to work. Some will be lazy or just incompetent and things won't be done to the high standards needed for a guest house. You will end up doing a lot of this work yourself. No one will want to come to a place with poor standards, even if they are coming to serve.
You will spend a lot of time checking up on tasks, fixing things and keeping on top of people. How will you deal with conflict when these people that you have no relationship of trust with are living in your house? We actually considered buying a bed and breakfast last year, but what put us off was the fact that you are never off duty. Your guests are there in your house all of the time. If you are tired or sick, you still have to get up and sort things out. If someone has a problem in the middle of the night, you're getting that knock on the door. I imagine this is doubly true if you are offering additional services as well.
So in short, while there might be a way to make this work, I think your current proposition is unrealistic. Particularly if you don't like the idea of serving people. You're suggesting this is a way to profit without doing the bulk of the work, I actually think this will turn out to be MORE work than just a standard B and B. (also won't the bulk of people want to come during the pleasant summer season when all your neighbours are there?)
PS. I'd get rid of the journal entry about having lots of plumbing work to do. Going somewhere with dodgy plumbing is not appealing. And presumably you'll want a qualified plumber to do that, who might not fancy paying for the joy of doing what he does for a living anyway.
