Grand Staff Bed and Breakfast

This couple is doing a fantastic job loving on people in our former b n b. Tracy and I encourage you to book your stay with them, as we’re confident they’ll serve you with the same love we gave our guests. 💕💕💕

Meet the new Innkeepers at Wildflower Inn -Jerry and Beverly (Bev) Lehrman!
Jerry was raised on a farm near Goessel, Kansas, north of Newton. His greatest desire was to be a dairy farmer! He graduated from Bethel College in Newton, Kansas, with a degree in social work, and later studied at Grace College of the Bible in Omaha. In 1983, Jerry went to Northeast Brazil with a friend from Bible College to spend six months helping build dorms at a Bible Camp. He never lost the joy of working in a dairy barn, but just changed his focus to serving the needs of people’s hearts instead.
Bev was a farm girl from the isolated plains of northeast Montana. After high school, she attended Bible College in Saskatchewan, Canada, and then later gained secretarial training. A desire to be involved in ministry somewhere overseas led her to a secretarial job in the headquarters of Gospel Missionary Union (now AVANT Ministries) in Kansas City, Missouri. This is where Jerry & Bev met at a church in Kansas City!
They were married in May 1985, and in October 1986, they arrived in Fortaleza, Brazil, as missionary recruits with the Brazil Gospel Fellowship Mission. Mission work was their life for the next 35 years, until they returned to the USA on a permanently “retired” basis in February 2022. Their four children were all born and raised in Brazil, and are all now married and living in the USA.
Jerry loves cooking and baking even more than Bev does, and is employed as the baker at Buhler High School. He is always looking for opportunities to share some baked goods with friends or acquaintances, and this opportunity as “innkeepers” of the Wildflower Inn made it possible to facilitate those opportunities. They look forward to engaging in the community with this new role and being a light that shares encouragement and hope of the Good News to all they serve.

I love the new suite with two queen rooms that have a bathroom connecting them!

Both rooms that used to be the angel and patriotic rooms have received facelifts, and space was made for seating. They still share the vintage feel bathroom with the clawfoot tub.

The living room has some great touches, while the sun room where guests can relax still has the African feel to it.

Tracy and I were so blessed to see how beautifully Wildflower Inn has made a welcoming atmosphere for their guests! Their open house showed such warm, inviting spaces, starting with the porch and office.

We wish them all the best and know that the same loving care we gave our guests will continue--with some great additions and ideas the new host is bringing with her!

Blessings to all who will stay in the future, and to the new owners, Buhler Sunshine Home!

Sunshine Meadows Retirement Community is proud to announce the purchase of the B&B formerly known as Grand Staff Bed and Breakfast. In 1945, Buhler Sunshine Home was established in this very house!...

We have a huge announcement to make!

After living in this house for 30 years and serving guests for 14 years, we've sold the house! It's a new season for us and we're downsizing, since we spend so much time in eSwatini, Africa, and want our time at home to focus more on our precious family.

But the good news is that the Sunshine Home Retirement Community has purchased the home and will continue to use it as a bed and breakfast! Woo hoo!

This is extra cool, because many years ago, this house used to BE the Sunshine Home! They've come full circle and will be able to retain a really special piece of history.

I've already agreed to share my recipes, so if you're hoping for those pumpkin pancakes or peach french toast, you should still find them included in the seasonal breakfast plans--along with some new dishes I'm sure you'll want to try!

This is bittersweet for us, of course, after living here for so long. We hope that our precious friends made here will stay in touch with us, as we plan to stay in the area.

As soon as they have their website and the phone number to contact, we'll share it here. Or you can always still call me to get the info. 620-543-6518

We wish them all the best and believe this is going to be a blessing to the community, as well as a very special season for SMRC as they expand their influence and care for people in a new way.

Thanks to everyone who has stayed with us, prayed with us, and allowed us into your lives!

This weekend is our final hosting, and our hearts are full.

Now on to the next season in our lives!

Blessings to all!

We meet the nicest folks here at the b n b, including the Mancinos earlier this month. Tracy and I love the conversations that take place over breakfast!
