Merry Christmas from The Irish Inn!
Winter in The Shawnee National Forest can be mild or frosty, but there is always a beautiful cozy fire burning in the great room, as well as fireplaces and super king-sized beds with seven layers of bliss in each of our sleeping rooms. If you are an empty-nester seeking a relaxing holiday celebration away from it all, plan a visit here.
Christmas may come but one day a year everywhere else, but you can celebrate it each and every day at The Irish Inn in the month of December.
Located on the Southern Illinois Wine Trail, the winter starscapes will amaze you, as well as the rivers, forests, canyons, and waterways of all descriptions. If you seek an easy and delicious holiday, spend this special time with us. Enjoy turkey and ham with all the trimmings upon your December arrival and our trademark full Irish breakfast in the mornings.
This package is available from December 1 through 28, 2010. The complete two-night package is $398, and all you will have to do is relax and unwind. Call (618) 695-3355 to celebrate the best and easiest Christmas you ever had. You’ll feel like you’re coming home again!

To see the 2011 Bed and Breakfast and Inn participants in the program, check out the Better Way to Stay B&B for Vets page. Canada’s participating Bed and Breakfasts and Inns can be found on their Bed and Breakfasts for Veterans page.
The Better Way to Stay site says there are at least 495 B&Bs that are participating plus 215 more on the BBCanada site.

Thank you to all of the Veterans who have so sacrificially
served to preserve and protect our freedoms!
The West Virginia Bed and Breakfast Association is taking their “Thank You Veterans Project” nationwide for 2010. As of today, July 28, 2010, almost 200 Bed and Breakfasts, in over 30 States and 1 Canadian Province*, are set to honor military personnel by offering a free room in observance of Veterans Day.
*August 1, 2010 update: 203 participating B&Bs in 36 States and 1 Canadian province
*October 6, 2010 update: 550 participating B&Bs in 48 States and 2 Canadian provinces
Here are some of the details and suggestions for 2010 participating Inns:
A web site is up and running for inns to register as participants, and for Veterans to use to locate a participating inn: www.bnbsforvets.org
To best achieve the goals that drive this project, Bed & Breakfasts should be doing this as a “Thank You” to Veterans for their Service to our Country. This project is NOT a lead gathering device, but is meant to be nothing more than “Thank You”.
Please note that this Project is strictly voluntary, and is “sponsored” by a couple of WV bed and breakfasts, who have borne the costs for the domain name, setting up and hosting the website and other Public Relations and Marketing costs. Participating B & Bs, if they are so inclined, are simply asked to consider sending a $5.00 donation to help pay for the PR needed to get the most publicity.
