Gayot "If canopy beds, hardwood floors, turn-of-the-twentieth-century architecture and elegant French dining are right up your alley, then we highly recommend the eighteen-room Plantation Inn."
DK Eyewitness "Steps from the waterfront, this charming inn combines plantation style with modern convenience. Romantic island- style guest rooms have lānai (verandas); suites have kitchenettes."
Fodor's "Ten minutes from the beach, this tropical plantation-era inn is a fine value for those who want to be in the heart of the action." Full review
Travel + Leisure "This is where to stay if you want to be walking distance from Front Street, but still have a quiet place to sleep." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "With a plantation-style look, complete with porches on both stories of the building, this inn lives up to its name." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The 18-room adults-only bed and breakfast is located in the heart of historical Lahaina Town, less than a block from the ocean"
