"Pennsylvania boasts hundreds of distinctive bed and breakfasts, country inns, and farm stays that offer unforgettable experiences year-round," said Carrie Lepore, Deputy Secretary of the Office of Marketing, Tourism, and Film, Department of Community and Economic Development. "The 'Cabin Fever' promotion is an exciting way to start the new year celebrating the charm of Pennsylvania's unique locations, including everything from a converted schoolhouse to a 19th century hunting lodge."

During the month of January, travelers are encouraged to book a night stay with a participating bed-and-breakfast (B&B) in order to receive the second consecutive night at a discounted rate, or free, throughout the month. A list of eligible properties is available at www.painns.com.

To kick off the promotion, the Tourism Office has launched a Facebook sweepstakes to promote the many family-owned destinations that are members of PABBI.
