We are located just minutes from Kansas City in Historic Weston, Missouri. The lovely two story house stands proudly at the top of the hill on Main Street. We invite you to come and indulge your senses in a truly romantic, Victorian escape at the Benner House Bed & Breakfast. The Benner House surrounds you with comfort and gracious ambiance to provide our guests with the very finest bed & breakfast experience. The spirit of romance is still alive in this exceptional Queen Anne architecture built in 1898 by George Shawhan, who owned, what we know today as the McCormick Distillery. The home was purchased in the early 1900's by Charles Benner. It remained in his family until it was converted to a Bed & Breakfast in 1986. The beauty and elegance have been restored in every room including the original hand carved oak and beveled glass entrance. The Benner House is graced with open, wrap-around porches on both stories, a serene perennial & water garden, a brand new private Hydrotherapy hot-tub with a bi-level deck, a terraced back yard with a wooded backdrop and stone path leading down to the in-ground pool and deck. On the main level is the reception parlor with the original tiled fireplace that is dated 1902. The formal dining room sparkles with a spectacular Murano-venetian crystal chandelier. Pastel pinks and gold meld harmoniously into the romantic setting, while candlelight softly cast shadows of romance about the room. Floor to ceiling length windows fill the sun-splashed solarium. It is furnished with an antique rattan and wicker grouping that relaxes the mood of this inviting addition. In the winter, the wood burning fireplace will warm your soul and rekindle your romance. There is a peaceful library complete with a large selection of paperbacks, magazines and both board games & cards and a large color television with DVD is available for your enjoyment. |
