New Zealand is often considered a land of fairytale- like romance and good old-fashioned adventure, and at the heart of this beautiful country is a Bed and Breakfast that seems to have popped right out of a children’s picture book. Staying at The Boot is one of the most unique experiences you will ever have whether you’re looking for the nostalgia of your childhood or simply looking for a good time.
The hosts at The Boot “delight in offering guests a unique place to indulge in romance” and though locals considered Steve and Judy (the creators of the boot hotel) to be slightly crazy, visitors and celebrities from all over the world flock to this inspiring Bed and Breakfast cozily placed on a 6 acres of beautiful countryside.
With curved walls and ceilings, custom fitted spacings, and charming architecture, The Boot Bed’n’Breakfast is one of the most unusual yet romantic hideaways in the world. The courtyard is shelter by a fragrant garden, making ideal for soaking up the sunshine or dinning alfresco, and the nearby pond adds a delicious fairy-tale view for all who stay in its queen-sized bedroom.

As the seasons change, many people are drawn to the brightly colored fall foliage, and what better way to see the spectacular autumn display than by staying in a bed and breakfast surrounded by gorgeous trees? 
Nestled on ten park-like acres, Woolverton Inn is one of the most acclaimed bed and breakfasts in the United States. 
In my travels touring bed and breakfast locations throughout the United States, I’ve found myself leaning towards home almost every time. I grew up in Northern California, and have found it difficult to find a more beautiful climate anywhere. One of my favorite places in the world is Nevada City, California. This quaint old mining town has absolutely no chain-stores. Meaning, everything in town is owner-operated, and ran by families. The beautiful hilly slopes of main street are home to stunningly beautiful sites. The old Nevada Theater is the oldest running theater in the Western United States, and although its haunted–has been host to some of the most famous theatrical and musical artists of this century. Nevada City was the home to influential minds such as Utah Phillips, musicians like Joanna Newsom, and the setting for many movies and books.
