Plantation Bed and Breakfast is the perfect complement for your visit to the lakes and mountains of California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Park.

Originally known as Mesa Verde Citrus Plantation in the early 1900's, this lovely Inn sits on one and a half acres, a remaining portion of what was originally a large orange grove at the turn of the century. Here you can stroll among the orange trees, pick some oranges or pluck avocados while you enjoy mountain views.

Guest accommodations at the Plantation include seven romantic rooms with private baths. Some guest rooms also feature fireplaces and a whirlpool tub. The Plantation theme is carried out with the rooms named after characters from Gone With the Wind. You can reside in Scarlett O'Hara's room, luxurious in cream and lace with a king bed, French doors to the veranda, fireplace and whirlpool tub and separate shower in it's private bath. Or try the Rhett Butler with a gold clawfoot tub and attached shower in the room as well as a massive, four-poster queen bed decorated in a manly burgundy, forest green and paisley. Other rooms reflect the same spirit, comfort and luxury as these two.

As a guest at the Plantation, you can wake up each morning to sunshine, the sound of chirping birds, and the smell of coffee brewing. Take a seat in the elegant dining room or sit outside in the courtyard garden and feast on a lavish gourmet breakfast while watching hummingbirds feast on the trumpet vines. Breakfast begins with fresh squeezed orange juice, fruits from the local fields, and homemade granola, and ends with Chef Marie's hot entree of the day.

No matter what time of year, the Plantation Bed and Breakfast is the ultimate gateway to the rugged beauty and unique wilderness of central California.

Soak in the hot tub under the brilliant stars at night, in the romantic privacy of the orange grove. Watch the sun rise and set from the verandas. Curl up by a cozy fire in the parlor with a book, game, or movie from the Plantation's extensive collection.

Other activities abound in the region. The crown jewels of this area are the breathtaking Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Parks, which are at your doorstep. Go hiking, white water rafting, or cross-country skiing. Taste some of California's famous wines. Try golf or miniature golf. Go boating, fishing, or skiing on the blue waters of Lake Kaweah or simply enjoy shopping and dining along scenic Highway 198.
