"I Love Inns" Bed & Breakfasts Guide Book Review and Giveaway (includes Certificate for a Free Nights Stay with Purchase)!


5 Winners, Ends 5/20 @ 10pm EST!

I was recently contacted by iloveinns.com about reviewing and offering a giveaway of their Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns Guide Book!



I think that every women dreams of a weekend away at a Bed & Breakfast with their hubby! The thought of how romantic it could be. The beautiful rooms, historical house and the yummy breakfast and snacks are calling your name!

A few years ago my hubby and I visited an awesome little B&B in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Helmer House near Curtis, MI). We stayed in January for my birthday and spent a glorious weekend snowmobiling, getting to know the host and hostess of the B&B, dining on their scrumptious food and exploring the house with all it's antiques and stories! This was the only time that either of us had stayed at a B&B but both of us decided that we would like to do it again.

When I received my own copy of the Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns Guide Book I curled up on my couch and started dreaming about all the great B&B's that we could escape to for our upcoming Anniversary or for a weekend stay this winter during snowmobiling season! The Guide is huge! It list's over 1,400 Inns across North America! I started in Michigan but branched out to some surrounding states (a girl can dream).

The book is very detailed. It lists Inns by State and their City in alphabetical order. Each listing tells you information about the B&B, what makes it special, cost, special information about their rooms and some history on the Inn itself!

There is something extra that comes with each Bed & Breakfast and Country Inns Guide Book! In the front of every book is a Certificate for "One Free Night at a Bed & Breakfast or Country Inn"! This Certificate entitles the bearer one free night at nearly 1,500 Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns when the bearer buys the first night at the regular rate! Sweet! :) A weekend away for the price of one night at a Romantic B&B with your someone special! This Certificate will easily save you $100-$450 on your stay at a B&B. Each Inn has their own restrictions on how and when this Certificate can be used. This info can be found at the bottom of each listing in the Guide Book.

How many of you want one of these awesome books? How many of you are dreaming about getting away without the kids for 2 nights? How many of you are looking at your calendar for that perfect weekend to get away? If you said yes, then keep reading!

**The kind people of iloveinns.com have offered me 5 extra books to be given away right here!**

Each Bed & Breakfast and Country Inn Guide Book retails for $24.95 and is Amazon's best selling B&B book! You can also visit the iloveinns.com website HERE to check out an additional 5,000 Inns!

GIVEAWAY: 5 lucky readers of Money Saving Mama in Michigan will each win a copy of their own Bed & Breakfast and Country Inn Guide Book, along with the Certificate for a free night's stay with purchase of 1st night!
