We enjoyed our stay at Hawthorn Bed & Breakfast. The Evans room was spacious and beautiful. You can tell that Jim and Wendy take the needed time and effort to keep this home lovely and inviting. the breakfast was wonderful...we didn't need lunch that day. Even with the rain, we enjoyed sitting in the sunroom for our meal. When it was time to leave, and still raining, Jim walked us out with his umbrella. Thanks so much! Apley's from Lincoln, NE

This was our second stay at the Hawthorn and we always enjoy our stay. Jim and Wendy are always very friendly and eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The breakfast is wonderful! The rooms are always clean and the beds very comfortable. We also enjoy how close it is to Kaufman Stadium so we can attend Royals games. It is an easy drive to the parking lot at the stadium. We will definitely be back again.

We appreciated being able to check in early. The couple was very friendly. Breakfast was very good. The bed was very comfortable. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. This is a very good B&B. With just a little bit more attention to detail, they will be outstanding. For some I expect they already are.

Jim and Wendy were born to run a b and b. Hawthorn B and B was absolutely lovely.The setting is beautiful and convenient, the mansion is clean and well-maintained, and Jim and Wendy do everything to make you feel right at home. It was so reasonably priced for all that you get. Breakfast is delicious and kept us full for most of the day! I can't wait for our next stay at Hawthorn.

I sent my parents to the Hawthorn for a night to celebrate their birthdays. Mom raved for three days about everything from the decor to the grounds to the breakfast. Jim went out of his way to make them feel pampered and special. Mom and dad have decided to make staying at the Hawthorn a tradition one night every time they're in town!
