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.



Just outside of downtown Baltimore, you'll find Grammercy Mansion, a historic Tudor-style gem with 11 lavish guest rooms and suites. Director and Oscar-winner Ron Howard is among the notable guests to have spent the night at this bed and breakfast. The individually decorated rooms range from the sunny Blue Garden room which evokes the feeling of 18th-century France with its antique Louis XIV furnishings and marble fireplace to the extravagant Tudor Room that reminds one of an opulent suite at an English castle. Whatever the choice, guests will feel as pampered as a celebrity with gourmet breakfasts and posh surroundings.

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.

Acclaimed Actor Danny Glover was once at guest at the Apple Country Bed and Breakfast in Wenatchee, Washington. The historic 1918 Craftsman home's guest rooms are decorated in a charming country style, each named for a variety of apple. Breakfasts include the innkeeper's signature sticky buns, as well as fresh, seasonal fruits and homemade entrees. Guests can ski in the winter or enjoy hiking and biking in the warmer months.

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.
