About this property

Elegant 1909 B&B on the National Register | Minutes from Memorial Stadium

Welcome to Martha's Bed and Breakfast, a beautifully restored 1909 mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Located in Lincoln's distinguished Sheridan neighborhood, Martha's is minutes from the University of Nebraska, Memorial Stadium, the Haymarket District, and the Nebraska State Capitol.

This 8,000 square foot home was originally built by local lumberman Frank M. Spalding and has been lovingly preserved to blend period antiques, Art Deco details, and Louis XVI touches with every modern comfort you need for a relaxing stay. Each guest room is individually designed with its own character, featuring premium mattresses, plush bedding, down comforters, plush bathrobes, and a private bathroom.

Start your morning with a complimentary continental breakfast served in the grand dining room, complete with an original oak built-in buffet. Settle into the living room by the fireplace, read on the wraparound front porch, or relax with the 40-inch flat screen TV in every room.

Martha's is named in honor of Martha Knobel, a beloved Nebraska teacher and mother who spent nearly three decades shaping young lives in Fairbury, Nebraska. Her legacy of warmth, generosity, and genuine care for others is the spirit you will feel the moment you walk through our doors.

Guests enjoy free WiFi, free on-site parking, daily housekeeping, and a 40-inch flat screen TV in every room. Whether you are visiting for a Husker game, a university event, a family celebration, or a quiet weekend getaway, Martha's offers a personal, unhurried experience that hotels simply cannot match.

Check-in begins at 3:00 PM. Check-out is at 11:00 AM. We look forward to hosting you.

Beautiful Historic Home

Beautiful, spacious and very accommodating. We held an extended family gathering at this historic home and Todd was a wonderful host! Our family of 18 had a great experience and plenty of space. Highly recommend Martha's BNB.
