BnBscape is an online directory that promtes eco-friendly or “green” Bed and Breakfasts and Country Inns throughout The USA and Canada. We believe that Bed and Breakfasts are ideally suited for ecotourism or sustainable tourism to further the development of an 'earth-friendly' way of life.

BnBscape is committed to the Promotion and Marketing of the hospitality business with concern for the environment. We are not in the certification business. The Inns participating in our directory have volunteered their information and we make no claims about their accuracy or integrity.

However, we do require that each participant fulfill at least a minimum of three eco-friendly practices described in our section: Eco-practices. We consider that eco-friendly practices can be easily adapted to the daily routine of inns and B&Bs. Please check the pages: eco tips - rrr tips

For those that have voluntarily certified their Inn “green” and feel that your operation deserves a special listing, please review our Certified Green Inns page. Or choose one of the numerous websites that make certification their specialty.

Recreation and Places of Interest

Facilities for picnicking, camping, hiking, horseback riding, and other forms of outdoor recreation are found throughout the state, especially in the various units of the state park system. Many of these units lie on rivers, lakes, or reservoirs and are popular areas for swimming, boating, fishing, and water-skiing. Hunting and fishing are two very popular pastimes. The Kentucky countryside, noted for its scenic diversity, is considered one of the state’s principal tourist attractions. In addition, Kentucky is noted for its numerous places of historical interest.

National Parks

The four units administered by the National Park Service are among the state’s most popular attractions. The underground passages of Mammoth Cave National Park are still being mapped by explorers. Mammoth Cave itself is a series of limestone chambers and narrow passages on five separate levels. It connects with two other cave systems that together extend 560 km (348 mi), making it the longest explored cave system in the world. In this vast subterranean world are giant vertical shafts, including the towering Mammoth Dome. Some passages and rooms are decorated with sparkling white gypsum crystals, while others are fitted with the sculpted shapes of stalactites, stalagmites, and other cave formations. Underground rivers, with names like Echo River and the River Styx, flow through Mammoth’s deepest chambers.
