There are few occasions that are as special and memorable as the moment you ask the love of your life to marry you. Make it a moment that you won’t forget. One of the best approaches to creating that special ambiance is to choose an unforgettable setting. Bed and breakfast inns throughout the nation offer some of the most spectacular and romantic locations. Whether its a California bed and breakfast located high in the mountains or an Arizona bed and breakfast inn set against the red rocks, an ideal setting can make for the perfect proposal.

Propose by the Sea

Located in the West Maui Mountains, the Ho’oilo House might also make a great place for the honeymoon, too. With grand views of the ocean (which has some great spots for snorkeling with sea turtles and a wide variety of fish), you can also catch the sun rising on Mt. Haleakala at this inn. But don’t stop there, consider doing the proposal on a helicopter tour or after zip-lining over the treetops. Any number of adventures could make the proposal a special event.

Propose Under a Shower of Cherry Blossoms

Perhaps Washington, D.C., sounds more patriotic than romantic, but consider spring time. The pink-white blossoms of the cherry trees can provide the ideal setting. Set up base at the Embassy Circle Guest House, which is at Dupont Circle, and hit the city. In spring, you will also beat the humidity and heat (as well as swarms of tourist traffic). With the cherry blossoms in bloom and showering you in a breeze of flowers, you’ll be sure to capture the moment.

Alaskan Adventure

Looking for something more extreme? How about heading out to Alaska’s Capital Inn where you will find an incredible setting and a variety of places to make the proposal. Consider a hike on a glacier, kayaking as bald eagles soar nearby or a trip on a float plane. The inn was built 100 years ago and abounds with history and spectacular nature.

Desert Skies and Red Rocks

The Adobe Grand Villas, an Arizona bed and breakfast, was honored as one of the top romantic inns of the year in 2006 by American Historic Inns. It’s not just the inn that is superb, but the location is set against Thunder Mountain’s red rocks and the wide desert sky. And if you want a twist to the occasion, you might consider the Out of Africa Wildlife Park as a unique place to pop the question.

Propose in the Mountains

This California bed and breakfast is set amid the pine trees and mountains of Big Bear. Chill a bottle of champagne in front of the fireplace. Or take a picnic basket while going horseback riding. Winter or summer, there’s always a romantic option to make the perfect experience at the Gold Mountain Manor.

Whether it’s under the desert skies in Arizona or by a mountain lake in California, make the moment a memoriable one.
