Bed and Breakfast Style Crash Courses From BnBFinder.com

Grad school, online degrees, specialized workshops and seminars…  It seems like there are dozens of options and opportunities to pursue a personal interest or make a career change.  But if late night classes or a pricey 6-to-10 week course seems like a challenging commitment, why not take a stress-free, vacation style class at a bed and breakfast from BnBFinder.com?   Many B&Bs offer introductory classes, courses and private or group sessions to satisfy any curious minds looking to jump start a new career or hobby.  

What’s Cookin’ –  Spice up your life by learning to cook like a pro.  If culinary school sounds enticing, get a taste and feel for it at Cedar Gables Inn in Napa, California where you can cook alongside a master chef who will walk you through creating the perfect meal.  The special includes regional wine, recipes and a cooking apron.    

Express Yourself – Get inspired and let your creative side take control.  Budding artists and art enthusiasts can sign up for “The Artist ‘Inn’ You,” package at Inn at Harbor Hill Marina in Niantic, Connecticut.  The package includes a two-night stay, a private 2.5 hour art class (including supplies and materials) with local teacher/artist, dinner for two to a local restaurant and a matted scenic print of the inn as a take home souvenir.  

Say Om – Some fads come and go but find out what makes yoga a meditative mainstay.  Inhale and exhale deeply at Cranberry Manor Bed and Breakfast in Sandwich, Massachusetts and sign up for the “Restorative Yoga Weekend” special where a registered and certified yoga instructor will lead a 75 minute session.  Guests can request the Hatha, Restorative, Vinyasa or couples yoga.  

Start Up- Got a great business idea of your own?  Why not host your own seminar, workshop or classes?  At 7 Gables Inn & Suites in Fairbanks, Alaska, entrepreneurs and career savvy guests can use the private dining room and inn will arrange catered meals, audio/visual equipments, wireless internet, overhead projector, fax machine and flip charts and boards.
