Staying at a bed-and-breakfast promises a relaxing environment and the chance to meet new friends. Sometimes, though, such cozy lodgings come with limited food options. A stay at one of these three vegan inns ensures that you won’t miss out on the best part of a B&B experience—the breakfast:
Big Pine Key, Florida
Located in the sunny Florida Keys, Deer Run is just about as close as you can get to paradise. The eco-friendly lodge is perfect for those looking to kick back, relax, and take in the salty ocean breeze. At breakfast, enjoy a tasty vegan entrée, baked goods, fresh fruits, and smoothies. Then spend the day sunning yourself, playing in the surf, or watching the endangered Key deer who call the islands home.
Eugene, Oregon
Ideally suited for cyclists and wine connoisseurs, Velo B&B is a modern, relaxed retreat located in the middle of Oregon. The name stands for “Veggie, Eco, Local, and Organic,” and this concept is brought to life at every turn—from cruelty-free bath products to soy-based pillow-top mattresses. And be prepared to indulge at breakfast—one of the proprietors is a former chef.
Mendocino, California
With a pool, a wellness center, and an on-site restaurant, The Stanford Inn by the Sea is more a luxurious retreat than a home-based B&B. The views of the Mendocino Coast can’t be beat, and the gourmet breakfast will leave you in giddy anticipation of the next morning’s meal. It’s no wonder that USA Today ranked Stanford Inn as one of the 10 best foodie resorts in 2014. Animal companions are permitted at Stanford Inn with an additional fee.
