Staying At A B&B?

[GlutenFreeManna]

Has anyone successfully stayed at a Bed and Breakfast and gotten safe food? I know most places will have fruit, but I hate to spend the whole weekend eating bananas for breakfast. I was wondering if there are any places that accomodate gluten free and other food intolerances. What can they make that's safe? Any websites to explore with gluten free B&B listings? I'm especially looking for a places in North Carolina, Virginia or DC area, but any other suggestions around the country are welcome (I like to travel and if we don't stay there for this trip maybe we will for another trip).

I would be very wary about doing this, even if they say they cater to gluten-free people. I would think that cc is a big problem for this kind of establishment unless they are very large with a professional kitchen. For breakfast, I'd stick with yogurt, fruit, cottage cheese, gluten-free cereals - maybe things that will fit in a cooler that you can keep in your room. That's what I did on a recent trip that we took to hotels that offered breakfasts/continental breakfasts.

But if you do find a b&b that works, please let us know!

Thanks, I haven't found one yet, but I'm looking. I've done hotels successfully by just bringing my own food and only eating banana and hard boiled eggs from the breakfast buffet. I was hoping there were some B&B's out there that know how to handle gluten free food requests, but cc is a very real concern for me. I'm looking at romantic weekend packages in the Virginia mountains and almost everything I'm seeing is at B&B's. My problem is trying to figure out if the costs of the packages are worth it when food is usually included in the price. sigh. back to the drawing board. I can plan a much less expensive weekend at a regular hotel and bring my own food, but I'm wanting gorgeous views,rooms with fireplaces and a big soaking tub or jacuzzi in a semi-private retreat area. All the cabin rentals seem to be for big parties or a family and are out of my price range for a weekend.

I found this by typing 'gluten free bed and breakfast in Virginia' in google.

6 places come up as offering gluten free meals. Maybe one of these would work for you. I'm not familiar with Virginia so I'm not sure if these are in the mountains. You could call to see how they prep and handle CC.

Good luck!

Thank you! We actually found a cabin we can afford for the weekend. It's in the mountains with a kitchen so I will just pack all my food and cook for the weekend, but I will be looking into these B&B's for future vacations. It's nice to know there are some places that will make an effort.
