If luxury isn’t your priority, the carefully chosen lodgings on our Casual Inn Trips are ideal places to relax and enjoy warm hospitality after a day of active exploring. From historic beachfront cottages on a Hawaiian sugar plantation to a cozy hikers’ retreat high in the French Alps, from a charming bed-and-breakfast in Nova Scotia to the Grand Canyon Lodge, with its breathtaking views of the North Rim—each is in tune with its surroundings.
While our Casual Inns are comfortably informal, they meet a rigorous checklist of criteria from the Backroads team, including authenticity, scenic settings, proximity to where we pursue our activities, and amenities such as swimming pools.
