Make Your Marriage Proposal Special: Consider a Bed and Breakfast

When you finally decide to pop the question, make the moment special — something you can talk about for the rest of your life. One of the best ways to do that is to choose a sensational setting. Bed and breakfasts can offer you access to some of the most romantic and amazing locations … and can become a special place to return to for anniversaries or special occasions. Whether it’s a California bed and breakfast inn located in the mountains or an Arizona bed and breakfast beneath the desert sky, a great location can set the right tone for your future.

Propose by the Sea

Located in the West Maui Mountains, the Ho’oilo House might also make a great place for the honeymoon, too. With grand views of the ocean (which has some great spots for snorkeling with sea turtles and a wide variety of fish), you can also catch the sun rising on Mt. Haleakala at this inn. But don’t stop there, consider doing the proposal on a helicopter tour or after zip-lining over the treetops. Any number of adventures could make the proposal a special event.

Think Cherry Blossoms

Once you’ve seen the blooming cherry trees of Washington, D.C., in the spring you’ll understand why the Japanese take one to two weeks off every year just to celebrate the beauty of these pink-white blooms. What’s more, by visiting D.C. in the spring you’ll beat the humid heat and touristy swarms of the summer. Treat yourself and your future partner-for-life to urban sightseeing from the sophisticated home base of Embassy Circle Guest House. Located in the middle of the action at Dupont Circle, this lovely inn is also just minutes from the D.C. Metro, which will take you all over town.

Propose on a Glacier

Perhaps you are in for a little more adventure. Consider some of the spectacular settings that Alaska has. Alaska’s Capital Inn, built a hundred years ago, provides a historic location amid the state’s amazing natural scenery. And if you want to make it more memorable, try a climb on a glacier, whale watching or a kayak trip. Once you are there, the experience and setting will make it unforgettable.

Propose Under the Expansive Desert Sky

Named of the Top Romantic Inns of 2006 by American Historic Inns, this Arizona bed and breakfast gives you the red rocks of Thunder Mountain and an amazing desert setting. The Adobe Grand Villas is ideal for the occasion. If your looking for something more unique, consider the lions and grazing zebras that can be seen in the new “Out of Africa” Wildlife Park. The tranquil retreat of the Adobe Grand Villas and the spectacular desert skies will be sure to please.

Propose in the Mountains

Located among the tall pine trees of Big Bear, this California bed and breakfast inn offers a secluded, romantic setting. Take a chilled bottle of champagne in front of your crackling fire during winter. Or head out on horseback with a picnic basket during the summer. Whatever the season, you can set the mood at the Gold Mountain Manor.

Whether you propose at a romantic setting in California mountains or beneath the Arizona desert sky, make the occasion special.
