The picnic table in the front yard is looking bad.There are rottening pumpkins by the front porch. Which should have been thrown away last October. The inside was very clean. The kitchen is well stocked. The antiques and furnishings are very nice. This was our 3rd time at Bressmer. And we love it. I hope they can take care of thesesmall things.

If you’re looking for a place to stay that’s close to all of the Lincoln historical sites then this is it! Close to the capital building also. Mansion is in very good condition and decorated with all period furniture. Also has the modern features that you would expect. Great place to stay!
