bnbfinder® was created in 1998 by Mary White as a website directory for professionally operating inns and B&Bs. Eric Goldreyer, original CEO and founder of BedandBreakfast.com (sold to HomeAway in 2010 and shut down by Expedia in 2020), acquired bnbfinder® in April 2019.
Since then, what was initially created as a website promoting professionally operating inns and B&Bs exclusively has evolved into a site promoting direct bookings with most forms of small, unique, independent lodging including (but not limited to) B&Bs, Inns, Vacation Rentals, Cabins, Yurts, boutique hotels and more.
