Features > Getaways > Romantic Bed & Breakfasts in America
Bed and breakfasts are romantic by nature. There's something cozy, quiet and disarming about them. Before you know it, you've fallen under their spell. In sharp contrast to the billion dollar hotel companies, bed and breakfasts are usually family-owned, operated in an unassuming house on the edge of town. Staying in one is like nodding to the roots of hospitality, where people in the past opened their homes to wayfaring strangers on their journey.
You'll be hard-pressed to find a bed and breakfast that does not take pride in itself, and its ability to provide a comfortable and peaceful getaway. I've found that most bed and breakfasts offer an enjoyable visit, but these are the specific ones I'd stay in with my significant other.
