Meet the Owners - Richard & Julie Jones

Buying the Hatchery House B&B fulfilled a desire of ours to do something other than our regular careers - Julie spent 28 years in the nursing field, and Richard still works full time job as an engineer, but hopes to drop to a part time gig soon. The idea of owning a B&B had been on our hearts for some time - but after Richard’s sister bought a B&B in the historic and charming town of Weston…that idea became reality!! We moved to Weston in June of 2022 to run the inn, and to make a move closer to family.

We are parents to 3 adult children, our oldest daughter lives in Munich, Germany. Our son, Jacob, lives in Austin, Texas and our youngest daughter, Brenna, moved to Weston with us.

We moved to Weston from Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas - where we spent most of our marriage of 31 years - raising our kids and, for a time also caring for Julie’s aging parents. As the parents of 3 busy children - our home was the hub for many social activities - this is where Julie got to hone her cooking and hospitality skills.

We love living in Weston, and this small town has welcomed us warmly. We enjoy being part a small community - where we can give back by serving - Richard currently on the Weston Park Board, and Julie has been part of planning holiday events, as well as both of us volunteering at some of the many events and festivals Weston has to offer.

When we aren’t busy hosting our amazing guests at the inn, we enjoy traveling around the greater KC area and exploring all that there is to do here!! We also LOVE to travel internationally - and are always planning for our next adventure.

We welcome you into our home -and hope that even if you enter as strangers - you will leave as friends! We have been blessed by so many repeat guests who we truly call friends now!
