Discovering America through bed and breakfasts has become a hobby for many travelers, couples and families. Spending a few nights at B&Bs in historic and unique cities and towns allows guests not only to take part in a great lodging experience, but also to get a taste of how the B&B property and surrounding area melded together years ago to build something special.
Here's a listing of some of the best B and Bs across the US that bring the story of their region into their inn which gives guests a unique opportunity to learn about the past.

The Mill House Inn
“It’s like having a home in the Hamptons —only better.” That’s what the guests say about staying at the Mill House Inn
What makes this luxury bed and breakfast feel like home is different for
everyone. It might be the black dog on your pillow, the fact that they
love it when you bring your own dog—and the kids, or the unexpected
birthday celebration they’ll arrange for you (or your dog!).
But everybody agrees that what makes being here better is their
personalized brand of hospitality —that they anticipate your needs and
desires. Whether it’s the fresh baked cookies, pressed juices, or
remarkable breakfasts that are whipped up daily, the tip about an amazing
new pop-up store they shared, or the flight tasting of small farm
coffees that were set up just for you, the attention to detail their team
offers shows their shared passion for making your visit unforgettable. They
love the Hamptons, and they’re here to make sure you love it too. They say that matters most is that you leave with the feeling that your trip made
everything in life a little bit better, today and tomorrow.

Heceta Head Lighthouse B and B
Maybe
the most unique bed and breakfast on the list is the one out in
Yachats, Oregon. As the name says, the Heceta Head Lighthouse
B&B is part of an actual lighthouse. And not just any lighthouse
- allegedly it is the most photographed one in the US. The Heceta Head
Lighthouse is part of a string of majestic Oregon lighthouses that are
beautiful whether viewed by land, sea or air. Built in 1894, each room
provides breathtaking views of the area, which is primarily graced with
the ocean, cliffs and sky. A nice day trip away from the B and B is
to cruise along the Oregon Coast Highway and take note of all the
uniquely designed bridges along the way.
Frisco Lodge
Some may think that a bed and breakfast in a small Colorado town like Frisco doesn't sound too exciting. But once they hear that it was built in 1885 as an old stagecoach stop, and is in the middle of the Rockies and all their wonder their minds change. What makes the Frisco Lodge your premiere choice for your next visit to Summit County, Colorado? Incredible location in the middle of everything that is Colorado... exceptional hospitality and service, full breakfast, afternoon wine, chese, and hors d'oeuvres, beautiful and comfortable rooms, award-winning courtyard, hot tub and romantic outdoor fireplace, historic charm, the lodge has been owned and run by the same family for 50 years.
The Carlisle House
Pennsylvania has been home to some of the most notable happenings in US history. And The Carlisle House brings a taste of Pennsylvania culture into its downtown Carlisle B and B. Built way back in the 1700's, The Carlisle House has stood the test of time by not succumbing to the pressures to transform into private housing or offices. History buffs will love the location, too, within a short drive to Gettysburg and Pennsylvania Amish Country.
Golden Lamb
Ohio
has a unique connection to the development of the United States, having
played a big part in the Civil War, the industrial revolution and of
course the 2004 presidential election. And the oldest hotel in Ohio (the
Golden Lamb in Lebanon) has survived it all. Built in 1803, an amazing
12 presidents have visited the Golden Lamb. A number of Civil War
battlefields are nearby to visit and learn more about the development of
our country. For a connection to today's culture, the inn is central to
a few annual festivals, including the Sauerkraut Festival.
The Ashley Manor Bed and Breakfast

Each room is designed to represent a different flavor of the northeast corner of America. And with secret passageways within its walls, guests usually wander the halls wondering if someone or something is walking along with them inside the wall. When guests take a walk or ride away from the B and B, classic Cape Cod activities and sites are within seconds of Ashley Manor, including the beaches, lighthouses, scenic drives and fishing.
