The Plantation Bed & Breakfast
Lemon Cove, California.

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 peach, plum, apricot, cherry, lemon, tangerine, avocado, fig, pear, pomegranate, apple, nectarine, banana and olive trees, as well as grapevines and herb and vegetable gardens that provide the freshest produce possible.

For your sensual delight, recline in an Adirondack chair under a weeping willow, laze in a hammock suspended between palm trees and enjoy the birds and butterflies flitting among the many blossoming vines, shrubs, flowers and ornamental and shade trees.

Featuring
"Gone With The Wind" Theme Rooms

All seven rooms have private bathrooms, air conditioning, fresh flowers and robes to wear out to the pool and Jacuzzi.

At the Plantation you will wake up to sunshine, the sound of chirping birds and the aroma of Chef Marie's lavish gourmet breakfast. The meal begins with a buffet laden with freshly picked fruit from the local fields, Marie's Famous granola, fresh baked culinary creations and ends with a sumptuous hot entree'.

Every morning, Scott picks oranges from the plantation groves for freshly squeezed orange juice. Enjoy this memorable meal in the elegant dining room or sit outside in the spacious brick courtyard overlooking the pool and gardens. In the last six years over 17,000 people from 85 countries have enjoyed Chef Marie's breakfast.

The swimming pool, which is heated in the spring and fall, plus the Jacuzzi Hot Tub, always heated and located out in the orange grove for privacy, are open 24 hours. So you can wrap up your day in one of our fluffy robes, slip out to the Jacuzzi to soak, unwind and enjoy millions of stars in the peaceful country night.

The Entrances to Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks are only 16 miles from the Plantation.

At Giant Forest, in Sequoia Park, is the General Sherman Tree. The largest tree in the world, standing 275 feet high and 103 feet in circumference. The second largest tree in the world, the General Grant Tree, and the Nation's Christmas Tree is located at Grant  Grove in Kings Canyon. 

Both parks provide a hiker's domain of  spectacular peaks, canyons, lakes and streams, threaded with a thousand miles of trails. Connecting the two national parks is the Generals Highway, a 46 mile long scenic road from Ash Mountain through Giant Forest to Grant Grove. The highway reaches 7,643 feet at Big Baldy Saddle. This highway and branch roads take you to such attractions as Moro Rock, Crystal Cave, Crescent Meadow, Big Stump Grove and Roaring Fork Falls.
