Gordon, Jim and others in “Calumet Inn”

(Voiceover) At the heart of Pipestone, Minnesota stands the historic Calumet Inn built in 1887. Calumet is the native American word for peace pipe. But sadly, peace is something short of supply at the Calumet Inn. The hotel is owned by sisters, Rina and Vanda Smrkovski. Nine months ago, their father, Jim, or "Daddy" as they call him, purchased the hotel for the sisters.

(interview) I'm not sure Rina and Vanda know how privileged they are.

(interview) Just because we dress nice doesn't mean we're spoiled.

(interview) They are definitely a little bit spoiled.

(Voiceover) Rina's not just a little bit spoiled, she's also a bit of a crybaby.

(crying) There's just too much trash talking going around here and I can't work with people like that! I'm so sick and tired of being judged!

You're going to have to come down to earth.

(interview) God, I cry a lot. I don't know, what was I crying about? I don't even know.

(Voiceover) After owning the hotel for just six weeks, Rina found working a bit much, so she took the weekend off in Minneapolis, 200 miles away...and she didn't return for three months. While she was away, the hotel was left at the mercy of her younger sister, Vanda. Vanda considers herself very hardworking, although she doesn't get out of bed until 3:00 every afternoon leaving the hotel understaffed.

(interview) A lot of times, I feel like people come to work just to make tips and for their paycheck, and they're not necessarily here to take care of this historic artifact.
