The three Wright brothers and their wives stayed here for two nights. This is a beautiful well kept home near all the attractions in this lovely town. The innkeeper was not only a great cook, she was also a great hostess for the town of Abilene. She guided us to places of interest that you wouldn't find in the tour guides.

The tree-lined street with the homes was just as inviting as the smell of fresh baked cookies as we were warmly welcomed by Adriana and Jay to celebrate family milestones in Abilene, KS. The Potters’ details of the home’s history inspired the memories to come alive. From an individual room to an apartment of three bedrooms, each lovely decorated room reflects the town’s history. Chef Adrian’s gourmet breakfast was delicious and elegant we imagined the dinner parties held in the dining room so long ago. The Potters’ dreams and plans will be fulfilled as they have immersed themselves in their home and community. Abilene is very fortunate to have such a great B & B!

My wife and I stayed at the Victorian Inn in Abilene; I must say from the start, it was great! This was our first B & B experience and now we are hooked. We get there, and there they are, will and waiting. First, they carried in our bags, greeted us with treats...yum!...then showed us our living space for the evening. After that...the rest is history! Well, wait, the breakfast was to die for! The owner is a professional chef and...Just go stay you won't be disappointed... --Stephen and Gracie

The breakfast was superb - simply THE best breakfast I've ever had at a B&B, and was done with such a personal touch.

P.s. ...to the "Perfect for personal touch" below - for my tastes i could easily max out all the stars. However, in trying to consider others i'll note that if you expect modern comforts or modern steril cleanliness in any old historic buildings you will be disappointed. Here i found the old wood tiles around the bathtub interesting and mused how to restore them. The old bathtub is wonderfully deep and built to soak in for hours, so it is a treat, but if your persnikety about graying that comes with age and use - then shower and go - for the surfaces are clean.

Jay&Adrian certainly excelled at customer service during the Eisenhower Marathon. Adrian accommodated each runner with an individual breakfast at individual times race morning. They loaned out bicycles and handled each guest with individual care and concern. They were helpful with community activities, history, sights, shopping, restaurants, and other businesses. The hosts hospitality and the charming, cozy atmosphere of the old inn created great fellowship between all the guests and lent to the feeling of "a reunion of old friends" amongst complete strangers. Staying there is a blessing.

We had a wonderful family gathering! It was so nice not to have to worry about anything; Jay and Adrian think of everything - they are so accomodating! The home is so spacious and charming; our whole extended family could spread out comfortably, yet meet in the parlors for games and visiting near the fireplace and grand piano. I'd highly recommend for family gatherings. We had priced other alternatives, and it was more for hotel rooms, which would not have afforded us the comfort of a private dining room, parlors, or the gourmet breakfast. The atmosphere and food were so much better! We definitley made the right choice, and hope to make it an annual event!
