If cold weather\nfinds you longing for a cozy fireplace and warm hospitality, consider a visit\nto Allegheny Trail House in Frostburg, Maryland. Vegan innkeeper Jason Yowell\nhas been operating the B&B for four years in a historic property\ndating back to 1865. His brand of hospitality is engaging and comfortable.\nThe second you arrive, you’ll feel like you’re at the home of an old friend as\nhe offers you freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and you get a hearty\ntail-wag from Gus, the resident canine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expect\nto be well fed when you sit at Yowell’s table. This is no paltry B&B\noffering, you will get a full plate of freshly prepared food. For breakfast you can sweeten up with\ngluten-free banana pancakes topped with fresh berries. Go savory with a hash\nbowl of roasted veggies, potatoes, and vegan sausage, or try Yowell’s epic\nTrail House Breakfast, which includes a vegan omelette, served with breakfast\npotatoes, tempeh bacon, or vegan sausage. My omelette was stuffed with\nfresh veggies as well as Yowell’s own housemade seitan and signature\nplant-based queso sauce (by which I mean, it’s actually made from real plant\ningredients!). Other vegan breakfast offerings include loaded avo toast, steel\ncut oatmeal, and vegan yogurt parfaits with seasonal fruit and granola. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re\nplanning a day out and about, Yowell offers vegan box lunches. Choose from\nchickpea salad wraps, vegan hoagies, or an avocado-chik-un sandwich. Sandwiches\ncome loaded with fresh veggies and are served with a dill pickle, bagged\nchips\/snacks, some of those decadent chocolate chip cookies, and a to-go\nbeverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though he’s an\nexpert at offering local dining suggestions, at least one evening be sure to\nend your day with dinner prepared by the innkeeper. Meals include an\nappetizer such as nachos with that velvety queso, or house-made vegan mac and\ncheese (I had this twice and ate it so fast there’s no picture–trust me though–delicious!).\nMains include hearty sandwiches like a veggie burger on a pretzel roll or\nseitan cheezesteaks. If you’re around on a Tuesday, you might get to try\nYowell’s tacos with his own vegan asada sauce. Dessert is light-as-air\nchocolate mousse. The secret ingredient is aquafaba, which gives it a melty,\ndreamy texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house\nitself is Greek revival style. There are four guest rooms, each with a private\nbathroom and television, and several common rooms offer plush sofas,\nbooks\/games, and work areas. The B&B is walking distance from the shops,\ncafes, and bars of historic downtown Frostburg, as well as the GAP trail,\nideal for cyclists, hikers, and trail runners. In fact, if you’re a cyclist or\nrunner, you’re going to love the Allegheny Trail\nHouse. Yowell is a vetran cyclist and runner himself, and can tell you\njust about everything there is to know regarding the local trails and\neven offers bicycle repair onsite as well as\nshuttle transport for trail adventures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your\nflavor is to curl up by the fire and pet Gus the dog, or traverse the\nstunning mountain trails, Allegheny Trail House has something wonderful to\noffer. For your pre-vegan friends and family, there are other food options as\nwell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The B&B is\nlocated at 156 East Main Street, Frostburg MD. For questions or reservations,\ncall 240-580-9795, message on Facebook at facebook.com\/alleghneytrailhouse<\/a>, or\ngo online, alleghenytrailhouse.com<\/a>. Dog and bicycle friendly. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
