Westview Bed and Breakfast
-
At Westview Bed and Breakfast you can almost hear the leaves popping into view as the jonquils are waving in a Nebraska breeze.... it's finally spring!
This private entrance "sittin' porch" is heated and has a beautiful view of the horizon through its 9 foot picture window. Enjoy watching the snowflakes fly while you engage in a game of checkers and sip hot chocolate.
Enter the living room off the private entry porch. It offers a cozy dining area, rolltop desk stuffed with brochures of things to do, and a chessboard if you're up for a challenge!
French doors open to bedroom with Queen bed, fireplace, and double whirlpool tub. Room has a TV tucked away with CD & DVD player, and movie and music library. Marble floors in front of Whirlpool tub are heated for your comfort.
What more could you ask of a romantic getaway than heated marble floors, luxurious towels and bathrobes and enough time to enjoy the whirlpool tub? Maybe you need a second or third night!
Antique Bath
Sunday through Thursday night stays enjoy a continental breakfast with provisions from your own private kitchen. You'll find the fridge and freezer full of sausage, pepper bacon, waffles and pancakes, milk and orange juice, and there's a fine granola for the serial enthusiast. The suite is well stocked with fruit juices, soda pop, candies, popcorn, hot chocolate. You may choose from an assortment of gourmet coffees.
On Friday and Saturday night stays enjoy a full gourmet breakfast served in your suite consisting of omelettes, sausage and Pepper bacon, French toast, croissants, fruit parfaits, fresh baked pastries, etc. We also have special fare for the vegan or vegetarian.

4.2 out of 5NOT too good to be true
April 25, 2013
I read a few reviews before settling with this B&B. They all seemed to good to be true. But they weren't! The B&B was adorable, large, cozy, and charming. Even though it's located right next to a large highway, it feels tucked away. The owners are extremely friendly and genuine. The room was stocked with a bunch of free goodies. My boyfriend and I practically made ourselves sick because we kept eating chocolate, ice cream, candy, etc. The breakfast was the best I've ever had. The omelett had this amazing creamy sauce in the middle and was topped with perfectly spiced aparagus. The other dish was this large plate of fresh fruit on top of this thick, almost candied, french toast. We couldn't even eat it all. I would definitely recommend this B&B.
5 out of 5Much More Than A Bed And Breakfast
April 22, 2013
So why the title, “Much More Than a Bed and Breakfast”? Because there is something almost spiritual about this place. In the late 1800’s, the city of Lincoln constructed Westview (then called the Lancaster Poor Farm) as a residence for people who were either not able to work or not able to find work. As Westview’s website states, “For the last thirty years of the 19th and well into 20th century, folks were cared for — and cared for each other — at the farm.” I agree ‘care’ is the operative word – and something of that spirit of benevolence and generosity remains within the walls of this splendid home. I have stayed at B&B's and hotels both overseas and across the States, and I rank Westview near the top of my list. Every detail was perfect, from the quaint charm of the “Prairie Nook” suite where I stayed and the profound serenity that seems to envelop this place, to Jim’s marvelous breakfasts. While most B&B’s serve breakfast in a communal dining room, Westview delivers breakfast to your room, or wherever else you’d like to eat. I was also thrilled to have a small gas fireplace in my room, and a wonderful whirlpool tub (both of which are found in each suite). My three-day stay was so deeply tranquil and rejuvenating, I have already booked another two night stay for next month, and it is my goal to eventually sleep in each room – more than once. :) If I could rank Westview with a "10" Rating, I certainly would!
5 out of 5Quaint and Classy!
April 01, 2013
What a beautiful place, rich in Nebraska history and so quiet and heavenly! We came down and went to a Murder Mystery dinner at a nearby winery and then spent the night here. Talk about everything being included! Many amenities, a common area so inviting, and the breakfast was fantastic! We feel like we discovered a hidden piece of heaven in the midst of cornfields...A MUST place to stay if you are in the Lincoln area!

My husband and I recently celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary and decided to try this B&B for the first time and are glad that we did. We stayed in the Wild Rose Suite which has a full kitchen, bath with whirlpool tub, laundry, DirectTV, a small fireplace and in room dining that looks out at a gorgeous view. Everything exceeded our expectations. We loved the privacy we had and the little extras like the fridge filled with pop and water and candy and snacks throughout the suite, which were all included. Definitely a great experience and I would highly recommend!

4.8 out of 5Our New Favorite Lincoln-Area Getaway
March 01, 2013
We happened on this wonderful place online and decided to try it for a night. We are so happy we did! From all the goodies in the room and in the fridge, to the room with a fireplace and great antiques, to the amazing jetted tub for two, the amenities greatly exceeded what we were expecting. Then for breakfast we were served omelettes with peppers, asparagus, and Gouda (I think) and French toast with a crazy amount of fresh fruit (including grapes, strawberries, pineapple, kiwi, and mulberries). We will definitely be making a return trip soon!
5 out of 5A wonderful getaway!

Westview B & B is an excellent getaway. Very relaxing! The room was fabulous with many perks. Candy dishes and goodies throughout. The breakfast was delicious and we were able to eat right in our room. We will definitely be back!

5 out of 5Worth Every Penny!
October 21, 2012
My wife and I just celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary. To do something different, we decided to stay at a nearby B&B. We have stayed at a few in the past in New England but, the Westview, without a doubt, was the best one! The difference is in the details. We stayed in the Sunset Suite (5 rooms, full kitchen, whirlpool for 2, radiant heaters in ceiling, and more). We normally pack a cooler and bring some treats when we travel. We didn't this time and planned to pick up some items once we got there. We were stunned to find out that the room was filled with candy (Heath, jellybeans, York peppermint patties, Andies Mints, Snickers, Almond Joys, Rollos, and more) and the kitchen was stocked with about 12 brands of pop, juice, and water. The freezer had ice cream treats in it as well. I might have forgot to mention it, but all of the food and drink was FREE! They also had hundred upon hundreds of DVDs to watch if you wanted to. Being paranoid, we brought our own sanitary wipes to clean out the whirlpool and bathroom. We were very surprised to see how clean everything already was. With how much hotels cost anymore, and how much extra they charge for everything you have ($3 for a bottle of water, etc.) I plan to stay at the Westview each time I visit Lincoln. It is a definite 5 Star deal and it has a rich history, delightful staff, and minutes from downtown / Haymarket (straight shot down Hwy 34/I-180).
