A trip to the Shipman House B&B, on the lush, green, breathtakingly photographic side of Hawaii Island, takes one to Hilo (hee-low), a town time forgot, where life still moves at a slow, friendly pace, free of tourist traps. On the National Register, the Grand Victorian has just been renovated by the Shipmans' great-granddaughter and her husband, who share the gracious, unpretentious Shipman hospitality with you. Famous guests have included author Jack London and Hawaii's last queen, Liliuokalani.

Step inside the king-size front door and back to Old Hawaii. Spend an afternoon rocking on the wraparound veranda, browsing through old books in the library, or wandering the grounds. Play the Steinway concert grand. Tour the house with your host, hearing family anecdotes, or walk around town, just five blocks away. Take a nap...

Breakfast is a generous continental buffet on the lanai, with fruits and local specialties not often available to tourists. Dietary restrictions? With sufficient notice, we can usually accommodate these, too. Hele mai! Come! This is the Hawaii you were looking for. Aloha!
