With the beautiful fall weather here, it’s hard not to want to get away for a nice weekend. You don’t have to go far to enjoy the crisp autumn air and majestic colors of the season, nor do you have to hole up in a chain hotel conglomerate to do so. Here are a few towns known for their quaint bed and breakfasts that will leave you relaxed and feeling refreshed:
Savannah, Georgia Though there are many small historical towns along the southeastern coast, Savannah is the mother of them all. Among its many bed and breakfasts is The Gastonian known for its luxurious southern charm. In this 19th century mansion, you can stay in one of its 17 guestrooms and taste its delectable southern dishes, including poached eggs with grilled tomatoes, cheese grits, and country bacon.

Here you can find themed bed and breakfasts, ranging from Victorian inns to country homes to French cottages. The Simpson House Inn continually holds its own as one of the best bed and breakfasts in the country.
Annapolis, Maryland - The capital of Maryland may be famous for its Naval Academy, but it also has some of the best bed and breakfasts in the country. Situated along the eastern seaboard, the quaint town of Annapolis is always a fun place to visit. Check out the Annapolis Inn or Inn at Spa Creek in Eastport.
Duluth, Minnesota - Though you may think “freezing cold” when you hear the word “Minnesota,” Duluth is also known for its charming bed and breakfasts lining Lake Superior. The eight inns, in combination with the cobblestone streets and other historical trimmings, make for one memorable getaway destination. The Firelight Inn is known for its “bird-friendly” environment, while the Olcott House brings the southern charm to the north.
