My wife and I stayed here while I was working in the Kansas City area. It's a very pretty inn and has been lovingly maintained. Breakfast was spectacular. I'm a big breakfast eater, and I never finished everything. They have snacks, drinks, and coffee readily available right outside of the rooms. As is often the case with B&Bs in older... More

Terrific hosts, home is in beautiful shape and our rooms were just terrific. Breakfast was home cooked and very nice. Truman library and home within a short drive---would stay here again in a heartbeat.

First off, I would recommend anyone visiting Kansas City and Independence to stay in Independence in lieu of the city. Secondly, I would definitely recommend staying at the Hawthorn. We loved everything about our stay at Hawthorn, and we loved the small town charm of Independence. We stayed in the Gallagher room, which was very large and comfortable. Breakfast was... More

My wife and I stayed at the Hawthorn B&B over a weekend in December. Every space in the property was beautifully decorated for Christmas; there was even a small, lighted Christmas tree in our room. The property is well maintained, and the owners are extremely pleasant and helpful w/ directions, restaurant recommendations, etc. We attended a Chiefs game during our... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hawthorn Bed & Breakfast on New Year's Eve, 2011, along with another couple. Our stay was very pleasant and relaxing. We stayed in the Gillmor Room, it was nicely decorated and quite comfortable. The entire house was decorated for Christmas, very tastefully done, the house looked like a Christmas wonderland. Jim and Wendy... More

I stayed at The Hawthorn House for 4 nights with 2 other couples on a friends get away. The Inn is beautiful, the rooms are very spacious and clean, and the breakfasts were wonderful. The only problem we had with it was the whole time we were there they had so many events planned (wedding, luncheons, and dinners) that we... More

Our family hosted a wedding shower at Hawthorn on Saturday for one of my cousins. What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL historical Independence home! It's so elegant, but so welcoming and comfortable. The Bride, her attendants and all the ladies were dazzled by this wonderful "event facility." Jim and Wendy were so accommodating and wonderful to work with. Actually, they treated us... More

We stayed here for our one year anniversary and had such a romantic time. My husband completely surprised me with a wonderful evening and topped it all off with a quiet and relaxing evening at the Hawthorn. This home is completely traditional and historic and extremely clean. We enjoyed looking at the old photo books of the original owners. Jim... More

Hawthorn is a meticulously maintained bed and breakfast. The accommodations were excellent. We especially appreciated that the hosts accommodated our late arrival (came by train). There were two drawbacks. One is that it is a $75 cab ride to the airport. The other is that Hawthorn has a $25 cancellation fee. We changed from three nights to two nights with... More

My husband and I stayed at the Hawthorn for a long weekend trip to Kansas City. We were very pleased with our stay and can't say enough how wonderful Jim and Wendy are! They were very helpful and really made us feel as if we were their only guests that weekend. The breakfast was amazing and very filling! The scones... More
