We love this place, but unfortunately I tried to make reservations for this coming football season and they are closing early summer, you can't make reservations after June 30, 2012. If you go to their website, you will be given this information. Made me VERY sad, I do hope someone else buys the property since it is a perfect location... More

We just spent 3 nights at the Halcyon House and loved it. The house has been beautifully restored and comfortably furnished. The managers and helpers were friendly and eager to help with directions and recommendations. The fresh fruit, healty granola, oatmeal, and made-to-order eggs were delicious. Only caution is that the house is located near the U of Kansas and... More

I travel to the Lawrence area frequently and have stayed at almost every hotel in the area. I keep coming back to The Halcyon House for many reasons: excellent location between downtown and KU campus; quiet and comfortable rooms; friendly and helpful staff; and the price can't be beat. Simply put - a home away from home.

I was guest lecturing at KU for a day and had a hard time finding a room in a hotel -- basketball season! I found this B&B on TripAdvisor and was so glad I stayed there. It was close to campus and to the shopping/restaurant area. The staff are so nice. I stayed in the Good Times Suite. It's downstairs,... More

We stayed two nights here, the first night in The Atrium, the next night in the Nooks and Crannies. The room was spotless and quiet. The ladies who served us breakfast were gracious and attentive. We had a shared bath for $59 a night, but you could also have a room with a private bath at $99. I will most... More

How did I not know about Halcyon House?? I've pretty much stayed at all the different places in Lawrence, including the Eldridge. Frankly, while I've loved Lawrence, I have not like staying there. Until now. The Halcyon House is just great -nice rooms, great breakfast and extremely gracious hostess. Walking distance to campus and downtown. Not fancy or fussy, just... More

My husband and I stayed at the Halcyon House for a weekend get-away, and we will definitely come back here for more weekend get-aways! The house was beautiful and clean with a very welcoming atmosphere!

I regret that I couldn't stop at this hotel on our return trip, so I wanted to leave a review in the hopes that other people could see the value and stay. The rooms are really reasonably priced! I love beds and breakfasts, but don't often get to stay at them when on a road-trip because I'm usually just looking... More

I made reservations online and received a prompt answer confirming the room for my date and time. When we arrived, the room was easy to find. There is almost always someone on-site, as we discovered when we entered. We stayed in the Atrium Room. It was lovely and comfortable and the public areas of the house were gorgeous and calming....

Wonderful location..can walk to all shopping/restaurants/bars Karen, the manager, was perfect - warm but not intrusive. Gave excellent local advice on where to eat, etc. Butterfly Suite was darling and cozy for me, a solo female, my laptop, and book. Shared bathroom honestly made me a little jumpy, but really was not an issue after all. Perfect for the value-minded... More
