I can just tell you that if a houseguest - whom I had invited - offered to pay me, I would tell him that if he were looking for paid accomodations, there are several hotels in the area.
Who does this?
When you have friends for dinner do you give them a receipt for the cost of the groceries and labor to cook the meal?
I’ve never heard of such nonsense.

no, that’s why I said I highly doubt an invitation to a house party for Thanksgiving would be chargeable but a Thanksgiving vacation thingy would be.............really you are twisting things. If you invite me to your usual residence in town, I would not expect to cough up any dough. If you invite me to your second home and we are ordering in, eating out, touring around to Sonoma and all that, dishing out dough all the time, what I am supposed to sit there and let my girlfriend pick up all the tabs and gas and admissions and pink jeep rental like I’m some child? Come on.
