We
enjoy driving along the countryside in Alabama because you never know what
unexpected and beautiful scenes you'll discover around the bend. And, when it comes to selecting a cozy alternative for a great
getaway in Alabama, there are many choices, which include beautiful Inns and Bed
and Breakfasts. Alabama has several historical and romantic Bed and Breakfasts and
Inns that offer wonderful amenities, and here are two we that we're sure you
will enjoy on your next trip. The Myrtlewood Bed and
Breakfast. There
is the 1909 historic
Myrtlewood Bed and Breakfast, a beautiful Victorian home with antique
furnishings within walking distance of town, and attractions like the WWII and
POW museum.
The town of Aliceville is located in west-central Alabama, west of Tuscaloosa and the University of Alabama. Since the Myrtlewood Bed and Breakfast is close to the University it is a great location to stay when attending Graduations and events in the area. Take town to stroll around town that was once the site of a German Prisoner of War Camp.
Be sure to stop in at the WWII and POW museum and the Aliceville Museum, where you'll find artifacts and more on the town's history are on display at the Museums. Among other attractions to enjoy are the Tom Bevill Visitor Center and Lock and Dam in Pickensville, the U.S. "Montgomery" Snagboat, the Historic Face in the Window Courthouse Square at Carrollton, the James Murphy Summerville Home, and the Indian Mounds and Museum nearby in Moundville.
The Myrtlewood Bed and Breakfast, located at 602 Broad St. NE in Aliceville, Alabama has wide porches perfect for relaxing on, plus a elegant Honeymoon Suite for a romantic getaway. The Honeymoon Suite features a comfortable queen size bed, daybed, and sitting area, as well as a bathroom with a vintage footed tub, and an additional tub with shower are among the amenities guests enjoy.
Then there is breakfast, which includes the Traditional Plantation Breakfast with scrambled, fried, or poached eggs, served with bacon, creamy buttered grits, hot biscuits or toast, fresh fruit, and coffee or try the three-cheese egg casserole. While there are no pets allowed, the Myrtlewood Bed and Breakfast does welcome children, which makes it a ideal destination for families.
