The Atwood Suite is our largest suite and most frequently booked for romantic get-a-ways. It provides more than 800 square feet of ambiance, including a working wood-burning fireplace, big screen TV/VCR/DVD/Digital Cable, CD player, huge leather sofa, and six window bay. The bedroom has a king size three-piece walnut and marble Victorian bedroom set with Sealy super plush Crown Jewel mattress and an ornate walnut wardrobe which is originally from Ireland. The bath is patterned after a Roman bath. It features a two-person corner heart-shaped whirlpool tub surrounded by marble. Also included is a marble shower, bidet and a very ornate dressing table, fashioned after the fire place mantel in the main parlor.
The Carriage House (Branch Suite) is approximately 800 square feet of privacy located right next to the main house. You enter this suite in the sitting room which has a vaulted ceiling and features a queen sized leather hide-a-bed sofa, remote controlled gas fireplace, big screen TV in an antique walnut wardrobe with VCR and DVD player, Digital Cable, and a CD player. The bedroom has a king size bed with Sealy super plush Crown Jewel mattress. French doors connect the bedroom to the bath which has a large two-person Aquatic whirlpool and separate corner walk-in shower. Breakfast is served in the main house or a breakfast basket can be delivered to the Carriage House in the evening. This suite also has a cherry kitchen with white marble floor.
The Beals Suite is named after the couple who owned the house the longest. It has a three-piece half-Tester walnut bedroom set with marble top dresser and wash stand (Tester bed has been converted to a King size with Sealy Pillow Top super plush mattress), electric fireplace, and a brass chandelier in the bedroom area. This suite features Victorian furnishings, leather recliner, TV/VCR/DVD and a CD player in the sitting room. The bath has a two-person corner Jacuzzi with hand-held shower (can also be used as a regular shower).
The Frank W Little Suite is named after the original builder of the house. It is L shaped. As you enter the suite you are in the sitting area that includes a decorative cherry fireplace mantel, marble top coffee table, a sofa and winged backed recliner and TV/VCR/DVD with digital cable. The bedroom set is a walnut three piece set (high back carved bed with marble top dresser and wash stand) built in 1840 and given as a wedding gift to its original owner. We have converted the bed to a king with Sealy super plush Crown Jewel mattress. The bath features an original footed tub, pedestal sink and corner walk-in shower.
During the day you could go to the Sheldon Art Gallery, view the sunken gardens or stop in the gazebo at Hazel Able Park, tour the historic Kennard House across the street, tour the University of Nebraska's natural history museum, or visit Nebraska's Capitol which is only two blocks away. Elegant dining is available within four blocks at the Green Gateau or in the Historic Hay Market district which is only about a mile away.
