Forget your worries in this spacious and serene space.

The space Located in the original 1912 Wayne City Hall building, the Byrd Nest is a quaint space with lots of charm, occupying what was once the Council Chambers and kitchenette.

Best location and cleanest place to stay in Wayne. Love the history to the building and proximity to downtown and the college. The shower/tub is cute but awkward to use - very high step in and out and hand rail not in convenient place but other than that, it was excellent!
Great place to go for a little weekend get away or if you’re visiting the college. The location is perfect and walking distance to shops and restaurants. Everything was well organized and comfy. I’d definitely recommend!
This place offers all that you need for a brief stay in Wayne. The history of the property is interesting and the decorating is homey. Location is perfect and convenient for walking down the Main Street. The hosts are accommodating and offer good communication.

3 Adults stayed early August a Sunday night through a Wednesday morning.
Place was spacious for 3 people, love the decor, and it nice to have the kitchenette area.
Was near downtown Wayne and near lots of good restaurants.
Highly recommend!
In true Rosemary Clooney style this little love nest down where the roses bloom….was the perfect oasis after a day of traveling with an infant. A true delight and a terrific way to take in Wayne, NE😊
Very unique apartment with details from history of the building. We had a family reunion downstairs in The Coop. Location worked well for our needs. Plus it was fun to see the view from the windows. Also convenient for adults who enjoy microbrews with Johnny Bryd next door. I would recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Wayne
