We were on a road trip with my daughter visiting colleges. We only spent one night, however the hospitality, friendliness, and generosity of spirit, exhibited by the proprieter, was beyond words. He helped us locate colleges, gave us directions, and even called to check on my daughter during our trip. We felt as if we were staying with family, relieving... More

Two glorious days and nights in Monmouth and I was lucky enough to stay at Rise & Shine. It was everything that it was promised to be - warm, inviting, clean, friendly, and great food. Tom & Lorette took such great care of me. I felt extremely welcome and was encouraged to relax and enjoy. My room was spotless! Many... More

Come here if you want to be off the "beaten trail". Quiet, beautiful view of lake, gardens to meander through. Innkeepers - Friendly and conversational - Knowledgable about area/directions/sites. 8 theme rooms, clean. Love their two small dogs! Available for weddings, showers, business meetings - large, open, covered patio. Would visit again.

She put us in a lovely room overlooking the lake and pastures ( and sunrise!). They... More

Tom and Lorette were so helpful in all of my planning. They catered the food. I didn't know what I wanted but money was definitely an issue.... More

My wife and I stumbled across this place, and we're glad we did. Beautiful setting, warm and welcoming hosts, great breakfast, and beautifully decorated rooms. We'll go back, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone wanting a great place to "get away from it all."

We (my husband, adult daughter and myself) stayed at A Rise & Shine B & B for 3 nights; our adult son was performing at the Theater at Monmouth. The managers, Tom and Lorette could not have been more welcoming. We had never stayed at a B & B; if this was an example, I will always stay at them... More
