Garden Variety at a Bed and Breakfast

 

Spring break may typically be geared towards students, but there's no reason why you can't enjoy a little time off of your own.  Have a little fling with spring and make a blooming getaway to a bed & breakfast.  Many inns offer a variety of garden stays that will leave you feeling, calm, rested and serene. 

La Vie en Rose - It's no wonder the Queen of Hearts loved roses.  These lovely flowers are not only beautiful, they hold a special place at Vintage Gardens Bed & Breakfast in Newark, New York.  The gardens once served as test gardens for a major horticultural firm in the US, which won international fame for developing hundreds of new varieties of roses.  At one point, the famed rose garden displayed more than 36,000 roses on 17 acres.  Today, the rose garden shares space with perennials, rhododendrons, azaleas and cherry trees.  Guests frequently stroll through the trail through the woodlanded area and enjoy afternoon tea or a light picnic. 

Amaze- Inn - Clear your head and find a peace of mind at Lookout Point Lakeside Inn in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  Located in Ouachita Mountains, the inn provides plenty of opportunities for guests to meditate or relax in the landscaped gardens.  Guests can also take a stroll through a labyrinth, bird watch or take a dip at Lake Hamilton.  Tea lovers can sign up for the "Spot of Tea on Thursday" where every fourth Thursday of the month, guests can enjoy high tea and browse through the gardens.  Garden enthusiasts will also love the fact that this eco-friendly inn recycles water from the lake to create a natural ecosystem.

Country Living - Listen to the call of nature and get on the country path at Castle in the Country in Allegan, Michigan.  It's easy to discover all of nature's beauty here.  The inn overlooks a natural pond and farmland.  Guests can meander through the lawn and gardens.   When evening falls, guests can relax and sit on the three tier deck.  The deck also has a firepit area, perfect for chilly, mellow evenings where guests can watch fireflies play in the night.  Innkeeper can even arrange dinner in the gazebo, mushroom hunting and picnic basket lunches.

Enchant-Inn - Some gardens are unbelievably romantic.  If you're looking for a little spring awakening, spark up some magic at Colonial Gardens Bed & Breakfast in Williamsburg, Virginia.  The inn boasts an acre of gardens inside Williamsburg's city limits with rose bushes, oak trees and maple trees.  Ask the innkeeper to arrange a picnic basket and sit on a park bench by the roses or enjoy a cup of tea and sweets.  The inn is also near Busch Gardens and Shirley Plantation, the state's first plantation.  When you're ready to spring ahead, ask the innkeeper for the "Spring Getaway" special that includes two free passes to Williamsburg Winery and a complimentary bottle of Williamsburg wine.  Guests should mention BnBFinder at time of booking.
