Allegan Country Inn - Allegan MI

Chateau on the Bayou of Raceland, LA

Claudette Ledet Pitre is living her dream.  She’s converted her 21 year old, four bedroom, three bathroom Victorian home, which is nestled along Bayou Lafourche in Raceland, into a cozy bed and breakfast. The idea came shortly after the storms on the evening of her mother’s funeral.  Pitre and her sisters were mingling with family and friends when the conversation turned to the devastation Hurricane Katrina had caused in neighboring parishes.

            

               “We had just buried my mother,” Pitre recalled.  “We went back to her house and sat around for a few hours.  Then someone mentioned that a group of animal rescue workers were living in tents at the old Rosela Plantation about two miles from my house.” The group was from Seattle.  They were part of the crew helping rescue stranded animals in New Oreans." "These people were sleeping in tents and it was hot,” she said.  “I had the space and there was no way I would have let them sleep out there another night.”At the time, Pitre’s home wasn’t adorned as it is today. But, she said, the workers slept in a comfortable bed and enjoyed home-cooked Cajun meals.

            

                   By January 2006, Pitre decided to completely convert her home into a bed and breakfast.  She began studying what made B&B’s successful, applied for her licenses and visited several operations along the bayou to learn more about running her own business.

To furnish the rooms of her home, Pitre included a number of pieces she inherited from her mother.

“I’ve come a long way since the first time I allowed strangers, who became like family before they left, live in my home,” she said.

                

                    At the bed and breakfast, visitors can sleep in one of four bedrooms equipped with everything they would need to live like they were at home.  Visitors enjoy a deluxe continental breakfast and have access to a laundry facility and sitting area.  Rooms also have telephone, cable and Internet connections.  A professional body massage therapist is also available upon request.

Since opening nearly three years ago, Pitre has had guests from all over the world.  An avid traveler, she enjoys mixing her heritage with other cultures. “This is the best part about owning a bed and breakfast.  I have traveled around the world and I embrace everyone from all nationalities so they can experience a little Cajun culture,” she said.  “I build friendships and people come back again and again – just like family.

                  

                     Pitre believes that guests seek her bed and breakfast because it is convenient.  A Chateau on the Bayou is 10 minutes from Thibodaux, 15 minutes from Houma, Luling and Larose and 30 minutes from the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.

                  

                   “My guests say they prefer a bed and breakfast over a hotel because it is their ‘home away from home,’” she said.  “My guest can rest in the hammock and watch the bayou flow slowly by or rock in the comfortable rocker on the back porch while watching the birds search for vegetation”

                   Sometimes they even see a bald eagle soaring over the bayou where the fish are jumping or catch a glimpse of an alligator raise its head above the water or an egret perched on the wharf,” she added.  Pitre said the Cajun hospitality experience is guaranteed.

Mountain Laurel Inn Bed and Breakfast RECOGNIZED FOR FALL FOLIAGE VIEWS

Mentone, AL– The Mountain Laurel Inn B&B was selected by BedandBreakfast.com editors as one of the best-undiscovered inns for fall foliage trips. 

“Mountain Laurel Inn Bed and Breakfast has always been one of our favorite fall foliage destinations,” stated Sandy Soule, Editor of BedandBreakfast.com and one of the most highly recognized authors in the B&B industry.  “Picture a wooded getaway on top of Lookout Mountain, with Little River waterfalls within an easy 10-minute hike, and you'll know why this inn is a favorite for fall foliage escapes. Take a scenic drive on Lookout Mountain Parkway, then return to continue leaf peeping in the surrounding woods”. Soule stated.

“We are delighted to have been chosen and proud to be in such good company in this list of great places for fall foliage viewing,” stated Sarah Wilcox, Mountain Laurel Inn B&B innkeeper and owner. “It is gratifying to be recognized among the top inns in the United States for exceptional views and autumn appeal. I believe that the natural beauty of Mentone and its surrounding areas, unique amenities, and attention to guest satisfaction contributed to our being selected by BedandBreakfast.com’s editors,” explained Sarah Wilcox. 

Located on seven wooded acres below DeSoto Falls, Mountain Laurel Inn B&B offers a romantic and scenic getaway.  Lookout Mountain Parkway, DeSoto State Park, Little River Canyon and Sand Mountain allow for many days of enjoying all the hardwoods as they change into their magnificent colors.  Award winning breakfast is enjoyed each morning in the main house before heading out for the day’s adventures.  Guests enjoy the coffee fairies’ delivery before breakfast, all the porches with rocking chairs, the trails on the property and the peace and quiet.  Mentone is less than a one-tank trip from many  southeast cities.

With every room facing the ocean, enjoy the panorama that stretches from Bass Rocks, to Good Harbor Beach and Salt Island, to Long Beach and the Twin Lights of Thatcher’s Island, and the open Atlantic Ocean.

They have a rooftop sun and observation deck from which you can watch Gloucester's fishing fleet go out for the day’s catch. Borrow a bike and tour the mansions along the shores of East Gloucester. Or try your hand at a game of croquet. Explore, along the ocean, the many tidal pools. Get out your fishing rod for the Striped Bass and Blue Fish off the rocks in front of the hotel. Partake of their membership at the adjacent Bass Rocks Golf Club, an 18-hole private club overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

The Bentwood Inn Joins Innkeeping Association: Select Registry

  The Bentwood Inn was recently honored by admittance into Select Registry, Distinguished Inns of North America, the premier innkeeping association in the United States and Canada.  Member inns must meet the rigorous standards of a Quality Assurance program, and represent the most prestigious establishments of their type.

Out of the thousands of inns in North America, only an elite few are invited to join Select Registry each year. The Bentwood Inn has now joined with more than 400 other exceptional properties that are already members of the Association.

Founded in 1972 as the Independent Innkeepers’ Association by Norman Simpson, “the Father of Country Inn travel in America,” Select Registry is an offshoot of Simpson’s popular and pioneering book, Country Inns and Back Roads. The name and logo of the organization were changed several years ago to reflect the group’s approach to marketing its selective and distinguished member properties.

A marketing association, Select Registry partners with other brands and organizations — such as BMW, Karen Brown’s Guides, DiRoNA, UK Tour Operator Select Vacations, PhoCusWright,   Ontario’s Finest Inns and the American Heart Association to name a few — to promote its members to target audiences.

Its celebrated guidebook, now in its 20^th Edition, is distributed each year to nearly 400,000 guests throughout North America. The organization also maintains a critically-acclaimed website, supervises gift certificate and loyalty programs, and organizes promotions for its members, including last year’s inaugural “Inn-credible Breakfast Cook-off,” a breakfast recipe culinary competition that produced nearly 30 million media impressions.

The Bentwood Inn exemplifies the high quality and service championed by this Association,” says Select Registry Executive Director Keith Kehlbeck. “Select Registry assures the traveler that each of its inns is regularly inspected—anonymously and with an overnight inspection that measures the quality of hospitality, as well as the physical plant. Our members share a high standard of excellence, and each of our country inns, luxury B&Bs, and unique small hotels has its own distinctive character.”

The Bentwood Inn is proud to belong to this prestigious association.

Thank you both for taking such good care of us. The suite was comfortable and the treats were yummy.  The bed is a great place to snuggle- mostly, there is nothing better than those silk carpets on bare feet!
