B&B's Raise a Salute to Heroes

NEW YORK - Oct. 22, 2013 - PRLog -- NEW YORK, NY – How do you say “Thank You” to the men and women of the uniformed military who have, and continue to, serve and protect? Bed and breakfasts across North America have an idea: offer them a chance to indulge in well-deserved R&R, compliments of the inn.

Since 2008, when the Gillum House in Shinnston, WV, became the first inn to offer free rooms to military veterans, hundreds of B&Bs have joined the effort and have donated rooms for these deserving men and women to commemorate Veterans Day in the U.S. and Remembrance Day in Canada. “B&Bs are very much a home away from home,” said Mary White, Founder and CEO of BnBFinder.com. “For these soldiers, who understand what it’s like to be away for long stretches of time, it’s the perfect mix of a getaway with all of the familiar comforts.”

Here are some BnBFinder inns (http://www.BnBFinder.com) offering complimentary stays to military members. Rooms are limited; check with the inns for availability and restrictions. Military I.D. is required:

West Hill House B&B (www.BnBFinder.com/WestHillHouse), Warren, VT: As a "Thank You” to U.S. and Canadian retired and active military, this inn is offering free nights in two of their rooms on November 10. Additional rooms will be available at 50% off for a two-night stay. Upon arrival, you can gather in the Quaich Single Malt Scotch Bar for a traditional Scottish welcome toast.

Munro House B&B (www.BnBFinder.com/MunroHouse), Jonesville, MI: Active duty, veterans and reservists can enjoy a complimentary stay on the evening of November 10.
