Frommer's Review

Built in 1900, the Shipman House is on both the national and state registers of historic places. This Victorian mansion has been totally restored by Barbara Andersen, the great-granddaughter of the original owner, and her husband, Gary. Despite the home's historic appearance, Barbara has made sure that its conveniences are strictly 21st century, including full bathrooms with all the amenities. All five guest bedrooms are large, with 10- to 12-foot ceilings and touches like heirloom furnishings and hand-woven lauhala mats. Wake up to a large continental homemade (with fresh fruit from the garden) breakfast buffet. On Wednesdays, guests can join in with the hula class practicing on the lanai. Recently they've added lei making and other cultural activities.
