Montreal

As you know, we love staying at Bed & Breakfasts because we get a chance to talk to the locals, feel more at home during our travels, and get away from the scratchy sheets and $22 pancakes of the typical big hotel. 

Earlier we promised you our list of Bed & Breakfasts where we would like to go.  This list is by no means exhaustive; feel free to write in the comments about those you’d like to visit yourself – we’ll put them on our to-do list.

Deer Run Bed and Breakfast in Big Pine Key, Florida Keys
Here’s what attracts us:

• Official “Green Lodge” as certified by the State of Florida, enforced by the Department of Environmental Protection
• Offer only fair trade and organic coffee
• On a private, dead-end street and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean
• Use of their kayaks and bicycles
• 10 minutes from Bahia Honda State Park

• Also offer cottage rental for longer stays – accommodates 6 people at a very reasonable rate

Le Petit Prince Bed and Breakfast, Montreal, Canada

• In the heart of downtown Montreal
• Displays and sells local artists’ works
• Beautiful décor
• Private balconies or functional fireplaces in some rooms
• Crepes – need we say more?

Dragonfly Ranch room

And probably the one we most want to go to:
