These individually owned "B&B's" are often a charming and comfortable alternative to the more traditional types of lodging. Because of their variety, Bed & Breakfasts provide a special experience for those seeking the more personal touch. As most have a limited number of guest rooms we encourage advance reservations, especially for busy times of the year, so that people will not be disappointed.
