Country Inn
Few words conjure up images of rest and relaxation, the perfect pampered getaway that the simple utterance of “country inn” does. What could be more delightful then the prospect of retiring to a gentile country inn, kicking back and letting the cares of the world go by as you relax in the rocking chair on front porch, book in hand.
A country inn is an establishment where travelers can procure food, drink, and lodging. As defined by Webster, an inn is “a house built for the lodging and entertainment of travelers.” Many country inns also provide meals, at least breakfast, although there are those that don’t.
Inns have a long and distinguished history all over the world and have been the subject of countless artworks, books and the scene of many cultural adventures such as scenes from The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. You may have stayed at many a country inn, but I am sure you have found no two will ever be completely alike.
Country inn guide books have been helping weary travelers find a comfortable pillows to rest their heads on for years. Author Pamela Lanier was inspired to write The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, and Guesthouses after traveling extensively in Europe, staying in Bed and Breakfasts and often using local bed and breakfast guide books to find the country inn she wanted.
The online edition to The Complete Guide to Bed and Breakfast, Inn and Guesthouses initially called Bed and Breakfast Guide Online, launched in 1992 on America Online and soon spread to CompuServe, TimeWarner and over 30 electronic platforms. At present, travelers research thousands of country inns online, checking out detailed photos, videos, and reviews. Most guests and innkeepers prefer that guests call the country inn to book their stay to ensure the perfect getaway and match each guest with just the right accommodation this is the classic purpose of a travel guide. Country inns are found in all states, in major cities and remote rural areas, occupying everything from modest cottages to opulent mansions, and in restored structures from schools to cabooses to churches. Cozy and charming, a bed and breakfast can be a refreshing change of pace from staying in a cookie-cutter hotel or motel.
Whether you are dreaming of a getaway in the Poconos, or is some other paradise, the mere suggestion of a country inn is sure to put your heart at ease.
