"We are proud to join innkeepers across the USA and Canada in honoring active and retired military and veterans by offering complimentary rooms," said Frank and Joyce Stewart, Innkeepers. "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 Frank.

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.

Veterans interested in reserving a room on November 10 are asked to call the inn at (802) 434-4410 to make a reservation. Proof of military service will be requested.
