RAR_WOS_Fishing-Beer_FtdGuys can be tough to shop for. Rather than buying him yet another shirt, schedule a getaway that you can both enjoy. Head to a town that has man-centric activities, then add a touch of romance by staying at a one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast inn. Many of these inns offer a Buy One Get One Night special through American Historic Inns (iloveinns.com); just look for the green tab on iLoveInns city pages.** That extra night may give you an opportunity to do a little shopping in town, splurge on river rafting or a luxe picnic lunch after a rigorous hike.

6 Examples of Manly Bed and Breakfast Inn Adventures

Lake and River Fishing

Beer and fishing go hand-in-hand. Do a beer tour, tasting, or both at Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City, MO. Then be sure to bring your favorite brew back to the Inn on Crescent Lake** because you’ll need something to drink as you fish for large-mouth bass or catfish in the fully-stocked ponds. Later, you can relax in the year-round outdoor hot tub.

Sometimes you fish all day and never get a nibble. Not at Run of the River B&B** in Leavenworth, Washington; a rainbow trout is guaranteed for your first fly fishing lesson. The Reel-axation package also includes a luxury suite for two nights, two days of fly fishing lessons and guided fishing, all necessary equipment, breakfast boxes, and picnic lunches.

Horseback Tour

Have a guy that can’t get enough of the outdoors? Schedule a one or two-hour horseback tour of the majestic red sandstone rock formations of Colorado Springs, CO. The Holden House 1902 Bed & Breakfast** can book your excursion with their Western Skies package. Immerse yourself in the outdoors in a mountain log home at Black Forest Bed & Breakfast, Lodge, and Cabins.** Make time to go rock climbing, hiking, or whitewater rafting while you are in the area.

The way to any man’s heart is through his stomach, especially if your man is a foodie. Let your taste buds lead you to Historic Hayes House** in Muskogee, OK and add the Formal Five Course Dinner to your room package. His stomach, and his heart, will thank you for the prime rib, filet mignon, or chicken entrée.

Dinosaurs

Do men ever grow out of their fascination with dinosaurs? Literally walk in the footsteps of these extinct creatures in the preserved dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park or stand beside life-size replicas at Dinosaur World. Finish the day by adding the dessert of your choice to your room at the Iron Horse Inn** in Granbury, TX.

Whitewater Rafting

Thrill seekers can fulfill their desires with a half or full-day whitewater rafting package at Weasku Inn** in Grants Pass, OR. Take in the scenery of Hellgate Canyon then test yourself on class II and III rapids. Accommodations range from historic lodge rooms to romantic river cabins with a gas-operated river-rock fireplace and private deck facing the river.
