A romantic plantation style bed
and breakfast with a "Gone With The Wind" theme. Though
elegance abounds, the atmosphere and dress
are very casual
(shoes optional).
Voted "Best Bed & Breakfast" within a 30 mile
radius of Sequoia National Park 8 years in a row.

Nestled in the
foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains among acres of orange
groves, only 16 miles from SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK.
The plantation is a peaceful country getaway located in a small
citrus community with a population of 190, yet conveniently
located on the two-lane scenic California Highway 198 with various
tourist attractions and over 200 restaurants within a 20 minute
drive.
A full gourmet breakfast is created by Chef
Marie using her favorite cookbook (her own Plantation Brunch,
lavishly illustrated by photographer Scott). The freshest
ingredients are used, often grown on the Plantation. Breakfast
is served in the garden courtyard overlooking the pool. The pool
is open 24 hours a day seasonally. The Jacuzzi hot tub is open
all the time and is a wonderful way to enjoy the millions of
stars in the country sky. Robes provided.

For
over one hundred years, this 4,500 square foot home on twenty acres of
orange groves was known as the Mesa Verde Citrus Plantation. In
1996, the Plantation House was transformed into the Plantation Bed &
Breakfast and remains on one and a half acres of the original
twenty. Take a step back in time when you walk into the original settlers' house, built from river rock in 1880.

| Stroll through
the lawns and acre Grove Park and you will see not only orange trees
but plum, apricot, cherry, tangerine, avocado, fig, and olive trees, as well as grapevines, banana plants and an herb garden. Just for your sensual delight recline in an Adirondack chair under a weeping willow or palm tree and enjoy the birds and butterflies flitting among the many blossoming vines, shrubs, flowers and ornamental and shade trees. |
