Anyone can build a hotel or buy an old Victorian-style home and create a nice to place to stay filled with all of the comforts of home for travelers.
But what we want to list here are the truly unique lodgings -- refurbished historic hotels and bed and breakfasts that stand apart from all the others -- found along America's two-lane highways.
Below you will find places we've been fortunate enough to visit, and we recommend them highly -- either for a quiet weekend getaway from the stress of everyday life, or just as a stopover as your explore the country.
