Inauguration Day is just around the corner and the fabulous bed and breakfast inns in Washington, D.C., are sold out. Not to worry. You can still celebrate presidential history or enjoy President Obama's big day at a bed and breakfast inn listed at iLoveInns.com. Many of the original 13 colonies still have beautiful residences that are now open to the public as bed and breakfast inns. Like the White House, these late 18th-century treasures show the Roman and Greek-inspired Palladian influence and have elegant furnishings to match. Watching the televised event among white house columns, gilded chairs, rich mahogany, satin settees and bald eagles beats standing in the street for a far-off glimpse of the festivities.
The Governor's House Inn, an exquisite bed andamp; breakfast situated in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina's Historic District, is the former home of Governor Edward Rutledge, the youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence. This luxurious home boasts elegant drawing rooms, unbelievable staterooms and, of course, the traditional southern veranda porches. Enjoy a mint julep while you relax in the atmosphere of richly colored walls and furnishings or watch the festivities on TV while you recline on your canopied bed.
The elegant Devonfield Country Inn Bed andamp; Breakfast, a gracious English-style house set on 32 acres of the rolling hills and green meadows of Lee, Massachusetts, is rumored to have been visited by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1942 for a visit with Queen Wilhelmina of Holland. This lovely inn boasts spacious accommodations with private baths although a stay in the Roosevelt Room is a must if possible. Enjoy a bountiful gourmet breakfast with fine china and classical music.
The century old Williamsburg White House in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, is beautifully situated on over an acre of meticulously manicured lawns. Close to the Jamestown Settlement, the Yorktown Battlefield and Busch Gardens, this charming and gracious inn is graced with period furnishings. Each presidential suite is not only tastefully decorated but boasts memorabilia inspired by former presidents. Watch the inauguration on television after spending a romantic afternoon in a horse-drawn carriage that gently carries you down the same street where George Washington led his troops to victory in Yorktown.
Of Greek Revival architecture, the Washington Plantation, situated on seven acres of land ripe with magnolias and oaks, is located in Washington, Georgia. This elegant inn boasts guest rooms with sparkling chandeliers, fireplaces and fabulous baths. The site of a Union and Confederate army encampment in 1865, this historical plantation is known for luxurious weddings and hospitable occasions. If you are unable to access the White House for your wedding, as did President Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom, the Washington Plantation would be a marvelous substitute with its columned front porch.
For the 2012 inauguration, now would be a good time to begin planning. When you visit iLoveInns, you will find over 19,000 bed and breakfasts and country inns listed that specialize in events that may be of interest to you. Many of the above properties are included in the best-selling bed and breakfast guidebook, Bed andamp; Breakfasts and Country Inns.
