Bed and Breakfast Guide Review and Giveaway

Share the love!

***Giveaway closed–winners notified by email.***

Do you remember my Fantastic Father’s Day Find of the I LOVE INNS guide to “Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns?”Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns

I really like this guide, because each copy contains a certificate, valid at any bed and breakfast listed in the guide, that can be redeemed for a free-night’s stay with purchase of the first night* – an offer that can help save hundreds of dollars on your next trip.

Hubs and I are finally going to go to the Beall Mansion in Alton, Illinois, for our anniversary.  Because of his travel schedule for work, we can only get away for a weekend.  So, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to stay close to home and will be using my certificate from the Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns 22nd Edition to save on our weekend!

Beall MansionCirca 1903. An eclectic blend of Neoclassic, Georgian and Greek Revival styles, the mansion was designed as a wedding gift by world renown architect, Lucas Pfeiffenberger. Original woodwork, eleven and a half-foot ceilings, leaded-glass windows, pocket doors, crystal chandeliers and imported marble and bronze statuary reflect the era’s opulence. Elegantly appointed guest bedrooms are unique in size and decor. Each includes a private bath with shower and clawfoot tub or whirlpool for two, imported marble floor and chandelier. Voted “Illinois Best Bed & Breakfast” by Illinois Magazine’s Readers Poll.

  53. My first and required entry doesn’t seem to be working. So I’m trying again without the link. I’d like to visit the 1795 Acorn Inn in the Finger Lakes Region. I would love to spend the weekend near the wine trails with my husband.

  69. Would love to try Acorn’s Hope in Great Barrington, MA…beautiful part of the state and a perfect distance for a weekend trip!

  76. I like the looks of the Gardenview Inn near Boston, MA. Because of several rare medical disorders, I have to fly to Boston periodically for medical evaluations. It would be sweet to stay in a homey Inn next time. Thanks for the giveaway.

  91. I got married at the A.G. Thomson House in Duluth, so of course I’d love to go back there! The innkeepers are some of the most hospitable people I’ve ever met and the decor of the inn is magnificent.
