May-June Winner
Our latest winner of two free nights for two is Marge L, of Lawrenceville, GA. The May-June tiebreaker asked how many chocolate chip cookies were eaten during the month of May at our sponsoring inn, A Hill House - Asheville, NC. Just two of the more than 1,800 entries we received had the correct answer: 321; Marge's was drawn randomly, so she wins two free nights for two at A Hill House. Our congratulations to Marge and our gratitude to Innkeepers Bill and Terry Erickson of A Hill House for sponsoring the May-June Contest.
July-August Contest
The border region of Ohio and Indiana attracts a stream of weekenders from Indy, Dayton, and Cincinnati, as well as college parents visiting students at nearby Indiana University East and Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, or Oxford, Ohio's Miami University.

Enter and win a free two-night stay for two at any of the seven member inns of the Miami Whitewater Bed and Breakfast Association.
