Unique Travel Experiences for a Memorable Mother’s Day
After over a year of virtual schooling and social distancing, there’s no question that moms deserve an extra-special Mother’s Day gift this year. No gift seems more appropriate to the times than a weekend getaway to a California inn. Several CABBI members are offering lodging packages and unique gift ideas just for Mother’s Day. Or, choose to purchase a CABBI gift certificate, which is good at nearly 200 CABBI member inns around state.
Double H Ranch Bed & Breakfast at Stonepine Estate
A Kentucky Derby-themed weekend in Carmel Valley might be the odds-on favorite for this year’s Mother’s Day gift. Double H Ranch Bed & Breakfast is offering a Mother’s Day Weekend package that includes a two-night stay and a three-course Mother’s Day luncheon. Mom (and her guest) will also receive a choice between free transportation to Carmel Valley Village to explore the art galleries and tasting rooms, a choice of lunch for two, or sampling of small bites at Stonepine Estate’s California Country Grille.
