Built in 1899 on Reed's Island, on the lush green side of Hawai`i Island, it is one of the state's few remaining Victorian mansions. Hilo's most photographed residence, the recently renovated "castle" sits high on a ridge overlooking a deep gulch lined with magnificent stands of palms, bamboo and ferns. Much of the original furniture remains in the house, which included a double parlor, library, dining room, conservatory, billiard room, and a second floor ballroom (now guestrooms). In the afternoon, guests may enjoy cold lemonade on the lanai overlooking Hilo Bay, just as the Shipman family did. The library is also available, as is the 1912 Steinway concert grand piano. The porte-cochere's high step accommodated turn-of-the-century horse-and-carriage passengers. Shipman House is the perfect inn for guests who love the history, gardens and comfortable living of Old Hawai`i. As Hilo's best accommodation, Shipman House offers the gracious, unpretentious hospitality of a fifth generation Island family in a home listed on the National Register of Historic Places. At Shipman House guests are invited to: * Sleep where Jack London slept. * Bathe in oversized tubs. * Play the same piano Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, played * Walk on honey-colored, old growth fir floors beneath 12-foot ceilings. * Read the travel books of a century ago. * Gaze through curved windows of hand-rolled glass. * Relax among furnishings of Hawai`i's monarchy era. * Taste tropical fruits, backyard-fresh Shipman House Details: The mansion is Hilo's Historic Accommodation and is listed on both the State of Hawai`i and National Registers. The home offers 5 Bedrooms, each with private bath. Shipman House is open all year. The Grounds Explore the grounds, see the waterfall. The Shipmans were avid plant collectors, and the 5.5-acre grounds are planted with a wide variety of palms, ferns, and other tropicals, including the Shipman Pink anthurium. Willie and Mary's youngest son, Herbert C. Shipman, brought the first orchid plants to the Island of Hawaii, now nicknamed the Orchid Isle. He also saved the nene [pronounced nay-nay], the Hawaiian goose, from extinction. Today there are over 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property, numerous varieties of bananas, pineapples, taro, and even a small coffee plantation. Fruits in season appear on the breakfast buffet, and exotic flowers from the garden grace the house and guest rooms. History In 1901, W.H. ("Willie") Shipman bought the mansion as a surprise for his beloved wife, Mary Kahiwaaiali`i Johnson Shipman, who wanted it so badly she could hardly stand it. He did not tell her about it for a month. He paid $13,000. The seller made a profit. Mary's grandmother was a Hawaiian of high rank, and her grandfather was one of the first white men to stay in Hawai`i. Willie, a cattle rancher, had missionary parents. Mary, known for her gracious hospitality, counted among her guests her friend, Hawai`i's last queen, Lili`uokalani, and author Jack London, who stayed for a month with his wife Charmian. As quoted by his wife, Jack London said, "To me, Mother Shipman is the First Lady of Hawaii." Liliuokalani would enjoy a poi luncheon here, then play the Steinway concert grand piano as she enjoyed a cigar. Your Hosts In 1993, the Shipmans' great-granddaughter and her husband, Barbara Ann and Gary Andersen, returned to Hilo to purchase and renovate the family home. They continue the tradition of old Hawaiian hospitality as they open their historic home and guesthouse to bed and breakfast guests. Let your host share memories and family anecdotes with you during the Grand Tour of the mansion and the gardens. Barbara and her sister spent a part of every summer with their great-aunts at the house, weeding the cutting garden, riding wheelbarrows down rolling green lawns, arranging flowers, making plum jam, bathing in claw-foot tubs, and sleeping in four-poster beds. Barbara and Gary say they love this side of the island, and enthusiastically share its beauty, history, special nooks and crannies with any and all newcomers. This part of Hawai`i is so often overlooked by travelers and travel agents, yet it has an "old Hawai`i" charm which most visitors really enjoy. The Bedrooms All five guest bedrooms are large, with 10 to 12 ft. ceilings, private baths, small refrigerators, cotton kimonos, heirloom furnishings, hand-woven lauhala mats, fans and fresh flowers. The Main House offers Three Rooms: ~ Flossie's Willow Bough: On the first floor, adjoining the library, with antique koa twin beds, ceiling fan, and private bath with shower/tub. It opens onto the wraparound veranda through an unusual window-door and tall shutters. Originally a billiard room, this is the room Charmian and Jack London stayed in. $154/night ~ Auntie Clara's Shell Room: Upstairs, with parts of her shell collection, koa furniture, and a queen-size bed. Spectacular view of Hilo Bay. Its large private bath, adjacent in the hall, with claw foot tub and separate shower, was the only bathroom in the original house. It is not shared with anyone. Hear Waikapu ("forbidden spring") Stream running through the gulch below. $184/night ~ Auntie Carrie's Room: Upstairs, one-third of the original ballroom, it overlooks the expansive side/backyard. It adjoins the upstairs porch, and has a private bath (shower/tub) en suite, small sitting area and antique koa queen-size bed with feather mattress. $164/night ~ Cottage Mauka and Cottage Makai are the two (separate) spacious bedrooms upstairs in the 1910 guesthouse, across the driveway. They have queen-size beds, window seats and private baths (shower/tubs). Private entrances and ceiling fans. No kitchens. The headboards in these rooms are from the bed Jack London slept on when he stayed for a month in 1907. A broad, shared, screened lanai and an interior door separate/connect the two bedrooms. Surrounded by trees, lawn, and birds. $164/night per room. Breakfast A glorious celebration of Island foods not usually available to visitors, is served outside on the lanai. A typical continental buffet may have macadamia nut granola, assorted local fruits in season (there are 20 varieties of fruit trees on the property), fruit juices, Kona coffee, special breads or muffins. When available, we may add baked bananas, hashed brown taro, or breadfruit. BREAKFAST HOURS 7:45-9:00 a.m., (or earlier with notice). Anyone having dietary restrictions or food allergies can request, ahead of time, a different menu. The Shipman House staff tries to accommodate special diets (with sufficient notice).
