Okay, so you may never get to meet Meryl Streep, Ron Howard, Cybill Shepherd, Larry Csonka, Danny Glover, Meg Ryan, or Captain Kirk (a.k.a. William Shatner) in person. But you can stay at the very same bed and breakfast inns that they stayed at, and have just as good a time as they did!
Maine’s restful Inn at Long Lake is a favorite haunt of actress Meryl Streep and her daughters. Located in Naples, Maine, this 1900s-era Victorian B&B inn features graceful veranda appointed with wicker chairs with beautiful views of Long Lake. Once inside, you’ll find stained glass windows, period antiques, fresh flowers, and a wonderful collection of old clocks. The Inn at Long Lake has 16 rooms, each decorated with Victorian-themed floral wallpaper and antique furniture. Find out for yourself why Meryl Streep is a repeat visitor!
When in Baltimore, do as director Ron Howard does, and stay at Grammercy Mansion. Each of the elegant guest rooms is decorated with antiques. The Tudor Room is fit for a king with a massive canopy bed and fireplace, a porch with a view of the surrounding valley, and a spacious bath with a whirlpool tub. The Camelot Room is another posh choice with a king bed, whirlpool tub and Juliet balcony where guests can enjoy breakfast. Weddings are a popular event at Grammercy Mansion, and the innkeepers also offer romantic elopement packages.
If you crave a little star treatment, pick the bed and breakfast that once pampered actress Cybill Shepherd. The Swann House B&B in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle boasts a dozen stylish guest rooms. Guests are pampered with champagne breakfasts, down pillows and featherbeds. Many rooms include a fireplace or whirlpool bath. The Il Duomo is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway, and the charming Blue Sky Suite is another favorite. The bed and breakfast’s location is perfect for those wishing to enjoy all the attractions of the nation’s Capitol. The White House is just 12 blocks away, and shops and restaurants are just steps away.
Why not treat the man in your life to a lodge vacation that indulges his passion for fishing, hiking, canoeing or just relaxing and enjoying the natural setting of the Blue Ridge Mountains. NFL Super Bowl Champ Larry Csonka is among the rugged guests at the Bent Creek Lodge in Asheville, North Carolina. The bed and breakfast offers close access to all the outdoor amenties, as well as wide veranda lined with rockers and swings where guests can simply enjoy the view. Several guest rooms include a whirlpool tub. Each morning, guests are treated to a sumptuous full breakfast. For a family retreat, consider renting the adjacent Luhn House, which offers three bedrooms, two full baths, a fireplace, fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities and a deck and hot tub.
‘Lethal Weapons’ are the last things you’ll find at the Apple Country Bed & Breakfast, which may explain why Danny Glover stayed here. Located in Wenatchee, Washington, this 1918-vintage home is country charm personified. Besides Apple Country’s homey 15 rooms, “Breakfast will be one of the highlights of your stay,” says this B&B’s website. “Jerry’s ’soon-to-be-world-famous’ sticky-buns are worth getting up for.” Sounds like an oasis of calm to us. No wonder Mel Gibson is nowhere to be found!
Meg Ryan and William Shatner are among the famous celebrities that have graced the rooms at the Aaron Burr House Inn & Conference Center in New Hope, Pennsylvania. The 1873 inn rests atop the site of a Revolutionary War-era home where Aaron Burr actually hid out after his notorious duel with Alexander Hamilton. Victorian charm abounds in the guest rooms, some of which include antique canopy beds. The guest room walls have been stenciled and hand painted by a local artist.
