Pamper Yourself With a Stay at the “White House”

For many of us, a stay at the White House would be a dream come true. The reality is that most of us will never get beyond a quick trip through with a tour guide. Never fear, there are still plenty of excellent bed and breakfasts to enjoy, and if you stay at the following inns, you will enjoy comfortable accommodations, a delicious breakfast and bragging rights to state that you have spent the night at the “White House.”

Located in the southern Appalachian mountains in Ducktown, Tenn., the White House Bed and Breakfast offers plenty of country comfort and historic ambiance. There are three guest rooms, each with its own private bath. The innkeepers, who have been welcoming guests for more than 16 years, prepare a hearty country breakfast each morning for their guests. Their restored Victorian gem is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, as is the entire village of Ducktown. The area is famous for its copper mining, as well as for its abundance of outdoor activities. There are three TVA lakes nearby, as well as the Ocoee River, offering boating, fishing, whitewater rafting and much more.

A wraparound veranda and a stained-glass window featuring a lone star and the state of Texas are among the unique architectural features you will find at the Texas White House in Fort Worth. The early 20th-century home is just five minutes from downtown Fort Worth, and close to shops, restaurants, museums and other area attractions. Each of the guest rooms has been decorated individually, and boasts either a whirlpool or clawfoot tub. A full, gourmet breakfast is served each morning, as well as afternoon snacks. You can even book a relaxing, in-room massage.

New York’s Long Island is where you’ll find the elegant White House on High Street bed and breakfast. Each of the guest rooms has been named in honor of a first lady, and all have a fireplace. Two also include a whirlpool tub. Guests can relax in the outdoor hot tub or take a swim in the heated pool. The inn’s game room is stocked with puzzles, board games and a pool table. Gourmet breakfasts are served in the stylish dining room. The innkeepers can help guests plan a small wedding at their inn or just create the perfect honeymoon night.
