When you visit the Midwest states there are many reasons to stay in a bed and breakfast inn rather than booking a room in a hotel. America's heartland, the Midwest is more than wheat fields and farmer's tans. These breadbasket states offer a range of activities for the outdoorsmen, the shopaholic, nature-lovers, and anyone who wants to get a taste of real Americana. And what better way to reconnect with what makes this country so unique than to stay at a one-of-a-kind bed and breakfast inn? The choices are as varied as the Midwest itself, with lodgings ranging from rustic lakeshore cabins to picturesque prairie cottages or stately historic mansions.
Feeling adventurous? Then head to the Wisconsin Dells and check out the incredible 4-D Dive show, and thrill to their newest amusement rides. Is there a biker in the family? Plan a B&B stay in Sturgis, South Dakota for the annual rally, with side trips to Deadwood for a taste of the Wild West and the awesome natural wonder of the Badlands.
If fresh air and scenic splendor sound appealing, then Minnesota's Boundary Water Canoe Area has it covered. Duluth offers scenes of spectacular beauty, and the state is home to more than the 10,000 pristine lakes it proudly boasts. In the summertime, stop in at the State Fair to say hello to Paul Bunyan, whose giant likeness greets all fair-goers. A lakeside B&B in this state is a sure winner. Pick up some souvenirs at the Mall of America in Bloomington before heading home.
Is something cosmopolitan more to taste? Then make the Windy City the choice of destination. Chicago offers a cornucopia of tastes, sights, and sounds, plus plenty of eclectic architectural treats including B&B accommodations.
Regardless of your Midwestern travel interests, bed and breakfast inns add a charming, romantic twist that provides the perfect capstone to an exciting getaway.
