    So well done... I've always wanted to stay at a B & B, but never had a chance, and the ones you describe here make me want to stay at one even more! But we usually end up at a motel, although we stayed at a dude ranch twice (2 years in a row) and had such a fabulous time! My favorite thing other than the horseback riding was when they rang the dinner bell, and everyone dropped whatever we were doing to head for the dining hall. So much fun as we passed our plates of food down the long tables. Just a good family feeling! I think that's the main reason why I yearn to stay at a B & B sometime!
