Stay at the Same Bed and Breakfasts as Your Favorite Celebs

You may not run with the rich and famous, but you can spend a vacation at the same places they frequent. These bed and breakfasts have hosted Oscar winners and fan favorites, and the innkeepers are just as happy to share their hospitality with you.

With several Oscars and a long list of successful movies, Meryl Streep is obviously good at making wise choices. So why not follow her lead and book a stay at the Inn at Long Lake in Naples, Maine. The charming, historic Victorian is a favorite of the actress and her daughters, and it is little wonder why. Each of 16 guest rooms is individually decorated in period style with antiques and Victorian-style floral wallpapers. A collection of antique clocks and stained-glass windows add to the bed and breakfast's ambiance. Enjoy views of the namesake lake, as well as close access to local restaurants and shops. Portland, Freeport and Boothbay Harbor are just a short drive away.

If you are visiting Baltimore, Maryland, take a page from director Ron Howard's book and stay at the Gramercy Mansion. Built as an elegant Tudor-styled manor, Gramercy Mansion is truly a B&B refuge from the madness of the modern world. Come and enjoy its spacious gardens, nearby organic farm, and 11 elegant bedrooms; ranging from the sunlit Aphrodite's Retreat to the Tower Room with its four-poster bed and Italian marble bath. Gramercy Mansion is also a fairy-tale setting for weddings and other social gatherings.

To live like Cybill Shepherd, you must stay at the Swann House B&B in Washington DC. Close to the Metro and the Capital's many attractions, this 1883 Richardson Romanesque brick manor even has its own turret! Worth trying: The Over-the-Top Girls' Getaway. Your 'girl group' can take over this Dupont Circle B&B's 12 rooms for three days, and enjoy an all-inclusive champagne breakfast, welcome reception, shopping, yoga, makeovers, massages and jazz clubs. Even if you don't, the Swann House's 12-foot ceilings, crown moldings, inlaid wood floors, crystal chandeliers, and elaborate fireplace mantels make it an astoundingly different place to stay in Washington, DC. No wonder Cybill slept here!

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.

With its country charm and great food, it's no wonder that guests such as actor Danny Glover feel right at home at the Apple Country Bed and Breakfast in Wenatchee, Washington. From the apple-named guest rooms, such as the Fuji or Golden Delicious, to the plentiful breakfasts, guests will find the cozy bed and breakfast a great place to relax after a day of skiing, biking or hiking. The Washington State Apple Blossom Festival is a popular event each May, and there are several local wineries to visit, as well.

William Shatner and Meg Ryan stayed at the Aaron Burr House Inn & Conference Center in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Relax; they weren't together! This said, both Shatner and Ryan likely share an appreciation for the beauty of this 1873 'Painted Lady' Victorian home. The B&B sits on the foundation of a pre-Revolutionary house where third U.S. VP Aaron Burr hid for a week, following his shooting of Alexander Hamilton during their infamous duel. Thankfully, the Aaron Burr House Inn offers more congenial (and law-abiding) company today. As for its rooms? Each one has a distinct personality, hand painted/stencilled by a New Hope artist and features antiques, private bath, and air conditioners. Most have brass ceiling fans, and some have canopy four-poster beds and/or fireplace. Clearly, the Aaron Burr House Inn & Conference Center is worth beaming down - er, driving to.
