Bed And Breakfast, California Style

There are, of course, various superb things concerning a good California bed breakfast. The homemade biscuits at breakfast, which are, yes, served in the room; the fresh bedding; the special guest dinners; the perks and amenities... But what I find extreemly impressive in not only the California bed breakfast experience but the bed and breakfast experience in general is the theme room/hotel. Maybe you have a penchant for nature. Maybe you are a history buff. Or maybe you have a fetish for a particular travel destination or have a thing for art. Whatever the desire or require, you can indulge in a weekend fantasy at a themed California bed breakfast.CALIFORNIA BED BREAKFAST THEME HOTELS/INNSFor example, the following are just some of the possible fantasy weekend packages offered:At the Churchill Manor Bed and Breakfast in Napa Valley, you can experience the plantation in the Gone with the Wind rooms in the old southern Colonial home.The Gone with the Wind theme is also delightful at Plantation Bed and Breakfast in Lemon Grove, and at The Union Hotel and Victorian Mansion, in Los Almos, you might enjoy the Victorian age in the manse or indulge in the fantasy of the 1950s, the gypsy life, Roman antiquity, Egyptian royalty, French history, or Pirate swashbuckling.At Leucadia Inn in Encinitas, besides having subtly placed microwave and other contemporary amenities, you can have the dream of your choice come true in a Tropical setting, in the Hollywood Nostalgia room, on an African Safari, or by way of the decor that takes you to Rosetta Stone Language Nantucket, Calypso (style), or New Orleans.The Splash Spa in Los Angeles has the infamous cave, the Monte Carlo, and the Jungle Room, as well as rooms ala the Mediterranean, Barcelona, and Japan. But note that this California bed breakfast is not really a b&b but an "hourly" place to stay for a quickie or short rest (and, of course, spa treatment).And the wilder, more natural, and appropriately, more "western" urges can be satisfied at such places as The Featherbed Railroad Company, where you and yours can get loose with Mint Julep (rooms), engage in the romance of Casablanca, go alternative in the Easy Rider or La Loose, relive (so to speak) the mystery of The Orient Express, or go right back to the heart of The Wild, Wild West.California bed breakfast experiences, then, take you where you want to go or need to be, whether it is to re-experience your teen years in a Rockin' 50's Suite, with the bed that is fashioned out of a 1959 Cadillac; to play nouveau riche in a five-star Garden Theme room, in The English Rose, the Apricot Blossom Suite, or the Forget Me Not room; or exact the life of a writer in a cottage or a tortured one with James Dean angst in the Rebel Room.With the California bed breakfast, you can appreciate the amenities, can be coddled by old world cuisine and courtesy and charm of the caretakers, and can find appeal in anything from the pleasing views, the ambience, or the general atmosphere. But further, with the themed California bed breakfast, you come away with a memory of having gone back in time, gone forward in time, and having gone into the lives and spirit of another..be it Elvis or Scarlet O'Hara, an astronaut or a Neanderthal or a thug.
