Move over ultra-beds and tanning butlers, the newest trend in hospitality is green. For those with allergies and asthma conditions, multiple chemical sensitivity or environmental illnesses, travel is pleasurable again, as BedandBreakfast.com innkeepers come through with low-allergen lodging. It's back to basics with everything from cleaning with vinegar to line-drying sheets for these B&Bs, offering an ideal respite for travelers with sensitivities and allergies. There's no additional cost for going green at these B&Bs where au natural means anything but clothing-optional. Best of all, count on a healthy and hearty breakfast, prepared by innkeepers who take dietary restrictions and healthy living seriously, and of course, smoke-free environments.
