It's hard to believe that it's time to put up those decorations and start making Christmas cookies and such! With all of this in mind, remember that a bed and breakfast gift certificate make a perfect gift for that family or friend that may be hard to buy for, or just need a unique gift!! Every B&B in the Cumberland Valley B&B Association would be glad to help out!!!
Also keep in mind that B&B's make the perfect setting for a holiday office party with a beautifully decorated inn and having an ambience of a "Home" setting!!
Have a wonderful holiday and remember we'll have the "hot chocolate" on for your arrival!! Aunt Tracie!

Thanksgiving Travel
The Thanksgiving Holiday is almost upon us! That means LOTS of travel to family and friends for this special day. Several main highways pass though the Cumberland Valley and our B&Bs provide a Better Way to Stay on the way to Grandma's house!
It you are traveling north from Washington DC, you will perhaps use US Rt 15. Blair Mountain B&B is just the place to stop for a relaxing stay after work and on your way!
If you will be traveling on I-81, we have several Bed & Breakfasts that will provide comfortable, luxurious accommodations to help you prepare for more travels. Just north of the MD border, Craig Victorian or the Inn at Ragged Edge, both located near Chambersburg, will be a convenient stop not far off the highway but a world apart from the roadside motel!
If you need to stop a little farther north along I-81, Shippensburg or Carlisle would be your spot to be. Field & Pine B&B and The Carlisle House B&B will pamper you on your way.
If you are bringing Fido or Flicka along, stay at either Pheasant Field B&B or Fallen Tree Farm B&B - both pet and horse friendly Bed & Breakfasts.
Check the map for locations of all of our member inns. The Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association welcomes you and wishes you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

CV BED & BREAKFAST ASSOC. TO HONOR VETS WITH FREE ROOMS ON VETERANS DAY
CUMBERLAND VALLEY BED AND BREAKFAST ASSOCIATION TO HONOR VETS WITH FREE ROOMS ON VETERANS DAY
(Carlisle, PA) – Members of the Cumberland Valley Bed and Breakfast Association will join hundreds of inns and B&Bs throughout the U.S. and Canada in honoring active and retired veterans with free rooms in recognition of Veteran’s Day. In a campaign called B&Bs for Vets, members of the Cumberland Valley Bed and Breakfast Association will join inns and B&Bs in opening their doors with complimentary stays for vets on November 10, 2011 so they can wake up on Veteran’s Day to a wonderful breakfast after a great night’s sleep in a B&B.
This is the second year that the Cumberland Valley B&B Association has participated in this campaign. In addition, this year, some B&Bs have offered additional discounts throughout the week of November 7-12.
“We are proud to join innkeepers across the USA and Canada in honoring active and retired military and veterans by offering a complimentary room(s),” said Joanne Kenney-Hawver, innkeeper at the Red Cardinal Bed & Breakfast and secretary of the Cumberland Valley Bed and Breakfast Association. “We are thrilled that thousands of vets and their families will wake up on 11-11-11 in a B&B, like ours. It’s one small way we can thank those serving in the military and their families for the important work they do” finished Joanne Kenney-Hawver.
" We salute and thank the members of our organization who are veterans, Mary Duxbury (The Carlisle House), Lee Gelinas (Gelinas Manor), Bill Hawver (Red Cardinal Bed and Breakfast) and daughter of a veteran, Kim Hanlin (Fallen Tree Farm). Although they will not get the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary room for the service they have performed, they will be participating in the program by proudly sharing this day with the dedicated men and women who have given so much to us and to our country", says Joanne Kenney-Hawver
The B&Bs for Vets program started in 2008 when Kathleen Penek, co-owner of the Gillum House and a handful of other innkeepers in West Virginia opened their doors to veterans in honor of Veteran’s Day. The program grew in popularity among innkeepers, and last year more than 900 inns in the US and Canada participated by offering free rooms to vets. This year, the Professional Association of Innkeepers International will coordinate the B&Bs for Vets program as a way to help veterans learn about today’s B&B experience.
The Cumberland Valley Bed & Breakfast Association is a collection of authentic Pennsylvania lodging treasures, giving you a choice of unique and delightful Bed and Breakfast Inns. From Victorian homes and historic taverns to country manors and rural farmhouses, these B&Bs mirror the diverse times of life in Pennsylvania's beautiful rolling hills and quaint towns.
