What motivates people to give B&Bs a try? The answer is often tied to romance, with charming inns naturally giving off a romantic vibe, and not just for Valentine's Day. Here are inns that clearly love a good romance package: Westport Bed and Breakfast, in Manitowoc, offers everything needed for romance with that special someone in your life.

When you start to get a little restless and are looking for something to do, Manitowoc has much to offer. Try visiting the Rahr-West Art Museum. It was built in 1891 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, but I bet you didn’t know it is also home to Sputnikfest because a piece of Sputnik IV landed in front of the mansion in 1962.
