About Hawley House

Step back in time to a gentler age when hospitality was an art and life was unhurried. When a person could while away an hour on the front porch with coffee and newspaper...without a shred of guilt or when winter nights were spent in bed under a cozy quilt or down comforter.

The Hawley House at the historic victorian Cultra House captures this spirit from the past with the sophistication of today. We offer you an uptown experience while you are in Lincoln.

Allow yourself to be pampered at Lincoln's Hawley House during your stay. Your relaxing stay includes a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed to get your day started out right. Enjoy our home and make it your home while in Lincoln.

The Hawley House is a 1893 victorian house located in the Hawley Historic District, a neighborhood next to downtown Lincoln, NE and the University of Nebraska city campus. The house was originally built as 2 victorian town homes.

The property, then a 4 apartment complex, was purchased in 1993 by John & Peggy Struwe. In 2004 the 4 apartments were converted to a single family home. Upgrades were made to replace 4 old furnaces with 4 new energy effecient furnaces, the window air conditioners were replaced with 4 central air conditioners, the water heater was replaced with a new energy effecient water heater, and all walls were insulated along with the attic. Many other things have been done and can be viewed during your stay. The house was opened as a bed and breakfast in the spring of 2004 with one suite on first floor. The bed and breakfast closed in December 2010. First floor is now our home along with the south apartment on second floor. We offer the 1200 square foot apartment on the second floor north side for short term rental. It is furnished and includes untilities.

Owners, John & Peggy Struwe
