A Rise And Shine Bed and Breakfast is a lovingly restored and elegant eight-bedroom, eight-bathroom home  with a large screened farmer's porch, outdoor lounging deck, separate meeting/carriage house, and an outdoor dining patio overlooking Lake Cobbossee.    The main house has twenty one rooms, including a library, informal breakfast room, formal dining room, game/music room, art galleries, a mint condition " fancy fifties" kitchen, and butler’s pantry.

The home is serenely settled amongst acres of  spectacular New England woodland, woods paths, meadow, grazing pastures,  and lake views.  It is not only a home away from home for visitors,  but our guests may board their horses overnight in our adjoining stables/barns. 

We overlook Lake Cobbossee, Maine's third largest lake - it has its own lighthouse!     Guests may swim/fish icefish, snowmobile, or boat, bring or rent boats, canoes, kayaks nearby and enter the Lake from the public boat launch (1.5 miles).    

Our acreage is nature-rich and a tribute to the beauty of rural Maine.  Guests may laze and gaze anywhere on the property, and will easily sight such wonders as the bald eagle, red fox, deer, moose, beaver, bobcat, hummingbirds, swallows, butterflies, hawks, loons, etc.   You may tour the gardens, walk the woods paths, fish/swim/boat and/or hunt for wildflowers or berries amongst the acreage.  (Any good amount of berries brought home is  rewarded with a berry pie!!)

The two barns and stables are the site of Hollywood movies related to horses,  and townsfolk talk of this gracious home as a vacation retreat for many Hollywood stars, notably Martin Sheen, Raymond Burr, and Tom Cruise.    The parties were major events in this small New England town.
