Most of us can agree that sweet rural B&Bs are far superior to the big chain hotels. Independently owned bed and breakfasts have the kind of personality that the homogenous hotel chains can never match. There’s one B&B in Seward that exudes charm and class, and staying there will make you feel like you’re in your own personal fairytale.

La Ruche Bed and Breakfast in Seward was built in 1904. The historic Queen Anne Style home is large but cozy, with just four guest rooms. You'll never feel lost in the crowd here.

The original owners were Walter & Bessie Turner Cattle, which is where the home got its original name, The Cattle House.
