After a recent encounter and lack of care with another bed and breakfast listing website, I quickly realized how lucky we are to have you. We so appreciate your one-on-one personalized service approach in today's world of failing customer service. Thank you for always being on our team and one step ahead of me, when I need it. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

Viroqua Heritage Inn B&B's
Viroqua, Wis.
“You have been the most effective inn website in getting guests to contact us. As a three-room B&B we have to be selective in choosing the directories we go with, but B&Bs would be crazy not to list with a
couple of good online guides. Consistently iLoveInns.com is the best source of our bookings! Most importantly, iLoveInns/American Historic Inns has a good, long-standing reputation and guests trust what you say online and in your books. People put a lot of value in the confidence they have in staying at iLoveInns member inns.” Roger, innkeeper at
