Atwood House is great. The house itself is a glorious period home, which Larry and Ruth have owned and lived in for years. As a result it is crammed with all sorts of interesting period piece furniture and unusual collector items. Their hospitality was great and they had gone to great lengths to think of everything you might want during... More

Echoing other reviews, Atwood house is a wonderful B&B. Also, it's just a short walk to downtown and campus, making it ideal in so many ways for University related events. Plus, Larry and Ruth go the distance to make your stay comfortable. Can't say my colleagues said that, or really anything positive about the hotels they were in. More

This is our 3rd trip here and I am still amazed! This place is great. This is where I asked my wife to marry me, so maybe I am a little biased. I hope to come here for quite a few more years. More

This winter we had our fifth or sixth visit to the Atwood House Bed & Breakfast. As always Larry and Ruth made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were interesting and varied each day (and very good). Larry goes to a lot of work making the breakfasts look "just so" to match the Victorian atmosphere of the mansion. Don't... More

My wife and I just 'mini-mooned' (short, restful honeymoon) at the Atwood in October and we are already planning our next visit. Ruth and Larry were of great help from getting us in our room to creating the perfect setting for us and giving us tips about great destinations in Lincoln. I have enjoyed B&Bs on three continents and this... More

We were here for the week-end for the MSU - Nebraska football game. Atwood House, and it's innkeepers, are amazing. The rooms, the house itself, the beds, the breakfast, al of it makes one of the best bed and breakfast experiences we have ever had! We were in the Frank Little Suite. It is large, with an extremely comfortable bed,... More

I gasped a bit when I saw the Atwood Inn for the first time. Greek Revival is very impressive. Larry the innkeeper was great, took us on a tour when we got there. Their antiques were fantastic. The Inn was big and beautiful; a huge entrance room, family room, sun room with working juke box, enormous and updated kitchen, with... More

My wife and I went there on our wedding night and it was a delight. The decor is a kind of Victorian meets rural Nebraskan, which can be alternatively charming or kitschy. That's not something that bothered us, necessarily, as kitschy isn't always bad, but some of the decor definitely fits the bill. Our room was lovely. We were in... More

This was the second time that my partner and I stayed at this amazing bed and breakfast. We have stayed at many b&b's and this is one of the very best. The suites are GORGEOUS, spacious, clean, and affordable. If you can get the weekday deal on the Frank Little Suite, DO IT ($85 bucks is a steal for this)!... More

I have stayed at many B & B's over the years but this was the BEST! Our group used three of the rooms and everyone loved their stay. All of the rooms are very, very spacious and you really feel like you have your own apartment. Larry and Ruth have left absolutely nothing out when it comes to service, accomodations,... More
