Bud + Breakfast takes the two things vital to any good vacation—a place to sleep and a place to eat—and provides them specifically for a community that loves sleeping and eating more than most: stoners.

Also advertised as an educational service, a vacation with Bud + Breakfast won't strain your budget and is sure to provide a high point in your year.
