"This accomplishment of commitment to excellence is awarded from Lanier Publishing as a show of appreciation and support for their hard work and dedication" According to Arrington's managing editor, Stephanie
Smith, "This is quite an honor since the inns that were selected represent the top, three percent of country inns and bed and breakfasts in the United States."
