If you were unable to get reservations at a great bed and breakfast inn in Washington, D.C., to celebrate President Obama's inauguration, don't fret. At iLoveInns.com, you will find a complete list of beautiful residences in the original thirteen colonies that will welcome you with open arms. These 18th-century gems reflect the original Roman and Greek influence in architecture and are beautifully furnished. Relax in the atmosphere provided by the rich mahogany paneling, gilded chairs, fabulous art and satin settees. Rather than fighting the pressing crowds, straining for a glimpse of the festivities, you will be enjoying the celebration in the luxury and comfort of your chosen inn.
The Governor's House Inn, an exquisite bed & 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.
In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt paid a visit to the elegant Devonfield Country Inn Bed & Breakfast in Lee, Massachusetts. At the time, this charming inn was hosting Queen Wilhelmina of Holland who was escaping the destructive wrath of a Nazi takeover of her country. Today, the Devonfield Country Inn B&B opens its doors for visitors to partake of exquisite accommodations. If possible, stay in the Roosevelt Room and enjoy the panoramic view of the Berkshire Hills and a fire-side chat while nestling up to the wood burning fireplace.
A Williamsburg White House in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, celebrates presidents through the ages. Luxurious and spacious, this bed and breakfast is fit for the First Family. Each presidential suite is fitted with period furnishings and memorabilia inspired by the greats, from Washington to Roosevelt. Take a horse-drawn carriage ride down the same street where George Washington led his troops to victory in Yorktown and be back in time to witness history in the making - many of the rooms come with televisions for watching the inauguration.
On June 2, 1886, President Grover Cleveland and Frances Folsom descended the staircase into the Blue Room as the first and only president and first lady to be married in the White House. While the White House may never be available to the public as a wedding venue, Washington Plantation in Georgia provides a similarly elegant setting. Greeted by four columns resembling those of the First front porch, couples can exchange their vows outdoors in seven acres of landscaped gardens or opt for an intimate reception inside the house. For the honeymoon, the Planter's Room has a 72-inch whirlpool bath built for two (or for one President Taft).
