The house was very quaint and cozy. Stocked materials for coffee and a water filter pitcher for the tap water. Place was very clean and welcoming after driving for half the day.
Perfect spot for my spouse and I for an overnight stay. Clean and comfortable and just on the outskirts of town. We appreciated and loved the surprise coffee cake!
Very nice and cozy cabin in the middle of a cornfield. This place is close to town but completely isolated. We sat on the front porch and enjoyed our morning coffee in almost complete silence. Not sure if this is the place for everyone, but it was perfect for us.
Very cute bunkhouse. The perfect sized getaway for a couple. The mattress was a bit springy, though. The peacefulness was worth being outside of town. Ecologically speaking, their prairie needs work, though. Lots of invasive grasses.
My 2nd stay! I stayed here about 6weeks prior, enroute to visit my daughter at Mizzou. It was so nice that I decided to stay again on my way to her graduation. It was perfect again! It was warm and beautiful in the morning so I even used the outdoor tub.
This was a last minute booking for a softball tournament and a great find. Its 10 minutes from the future champions complex in Jacksonville and honestly a great find. No giggling girls yelling up and down the hallways just peaceful rest! The hosts did not forget a thing Thank you for a great sray.
One-of-a-kind! Historical studio tiny house! Even better than I expected, despite reading glowing reviews! Absolutely beautiful setting- hilly area, farm fields behind it. Very convenient & easy to get to. No close neighbors. House was super clean, very comfortable bed w/beautiful authentic quilt. I loved the stained glass windows! The coffee cake was a yummy surprise!
What a unique gem of a cabin!
Quite charming and clearly lovingly restored. It was absolutely perfect for an overnight stop. The bed was very comfortable and covered in a beautiful antique quilt! I loved the beautiful stained glass windows also. This is definitely one-of-kind B&B!!
I recommend this tiny bunkhouse to anyone who wants a special weekend get- away from a busy tech filled week. And the cinnamon coffee cake was a delicious surprise!! I hope to stay again when I travel this way.
