2013$600 B&B Experiences that Will Stimulate You and the Economy
$600 getaways will have you driving a Model T through Yosemite, gliding high above the trees on a cable line or whitewater rafting on a mountaintop
Let the government send you on the Bed & Breakfast Trip of a Lifetime this Spring and Summer. Innkeepers throughout the United States and Canada were challenged to create The $600 B&B Vacation of a Lifetime. With these packages, you can drive a Model T through Yosemite or glide on a Canopy Line Cable through the trees, and any number of amazing adventures or relaxing explorations that you will be talking about the rest of your life!
We asked innkeepers to make sure the total includes tax but doesn’t exceed $600 for two people. We asked for amazing experiences that you will remember forever. We hope you will see how much value a B&B vacation has to offer by perusing these imaginative packages. Few getaways can match the value and quality of experience of a small inn or B&B to enrich one’s life and relationships.
