Experience the Great Outdoors at a Bed and Breakfast This Summer
Now that summer’s officially underway, several bed and breakfasts around the country are offering special outdoor packages guaranteed to help you make the most of your holiday or vacation. Many of the B&Bs featured on http://www.iloveinns.com/ are situated on scenic mountainsides, on soothing waterfronts, or surrounded by acres of rolling pastures.

The award-winning Inn at Ellis River in Jackson, NH is serenely surrounded by the White Mountains with a trout stream flowing closeby and hiking trails winding to the summit of Mount Washington. The twenty-room Inn and separate cottage are furnished with traditional pieces and enhanced with modern amenities like fireplaces and two-person Jacuzzis. Deciding what to do with your day after your gourmet country breakfast will be your most difficult decision – golf, canoeing, kayaking or fishing, followed by a dip in the outdoor heated pool or soak in the hot tub. Evenings may be enjoyed in the game room and pub or relaxing with a selection from the DVD library.
This summer, take advantage of the Inn’s Moose on the Loose package, with two nights lodging, breakfasts, afternoon refreshments, two tickets for an evening moose tour departing from Gorham, and surprise souvenir gifts from the Inn. The package starts at $329 during the quiet season through June 28.

Year-round beauty surrounds the Adirondack Pines Bed & Breakfast and Vacation Rental Home in Adirondack, NY. Schroon’s Lake with its beach and boat launch is just minutes away from the 1800s farmhouse – the first house in the village of Adirondack - and an invigorating hike up Pharoah Mountain will reward you with breathtaking views. Rooms are available in the main house, one of which has a two-person Jacuzzi tub, or in guest cottages on the property.
As a special Father’s Day treat, stay in one of the vacations at a 10% discount. Enjoy the 45 acres by cooking out on the grill or relax around the campfire with s’mores. Hiking, horseback riding, and whitewater rafting are available for family fun.

The natural scenery of the Smoky Mountains engulfs the Andon-Reid Inn in Waynesville, NC. The turn-of-the-century traditional home features full-length windows, tall ceilings, and veranda porches with large comfortable guest rooms, each featuring a fireplace and private bath. If you make the trip to the Inn on a motorcycle, you’ll find a garage for your bike and a warm welcome. A fitness center is available at the Inn, but you won’t need that with the abundant outside activities beckoning to you from the nearby Maggie Valley and the downtown center of Waynesville only a mile away.
Experience all of this outdoor beauty with a special package that lets you sample a variety of outings. After your first night of relaxation at the Inn, a hearty picnic basket will be packed for you to take off to the hills for hiking. After you’ve spent a rejuvenating evening and had a good night’s sleep, you’ll be treated to a 2 to 3 hour horseback ride on the mountain trails. This special is available all summer and starts at $399 for two guests.

A tree-lined road leads you to the wide front porches of the Federal-style Belle Aire Mansion Guest House in Galena, IL. The inn’s 11 landscaped acres include a barn and a windmill, and the rooms are traditionally furnished with antiques – and homemade chocolate chip cookies! Only two miles from historic Galena, the mansion was originally built as a log cabin and is one of the oldest homes in the area.
As a special offer, the Guest House invites you to take a cruise back in history on the “Spirit of Dubuque”, an authentic paddle wheeler which cruises down the mighty Mississippi River. With a two-night stay, you can enjoy a lunch or dinner cruise (depending on the day) and all the amenities the inn has to offer. Prices start at $259. After summer winds down, check on our special that includes a fall foliage cruise.
