About the host
Hosted by Royale Walter
I’m originally from Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula and proudly consider myself a true “Yooper.” I attended Northern Michigan University and have earned my master’s degree in education. After two decades in the classroom, I’ve transitioned into a new chapter—owning and caring for our short-term rentals. I love the hospitality side and find joy in helping guests make meaningful memories while visiting Ionia.
While Prairie Creek Cottage is not an event venue, I do own an event rental business and would be happy to assist with planning, ideas, or local logistics if you’re in town for a wedding, celebration, or gathering. I’m always happy to share recommendations to help make your stay—and your event—go smoothly.

Why they chose this property
Prairie Creek Cottage has been in our family for over 50 years, and it holds so many cherished memories. Nestled along the creek, this home has always been a peaceful, comforting place for us, and we wanted to be able to share that feeling with others. The neighborhood is very peaceful and kind. Hosting allows me to combine my love of hospitality with the opportunity to help guests create special memories of their own while visiting Ionia.
What makes this property unique
Prairie Creek Cottage is truly special because it blends history, nature, and comfort in a way that few places can. Our family has cherished this home for more than 50 years, creating countless memories along the peaceful creek that flows just steps from the back door. The cottage has been thoughtfully updated while keeping its original charm, offering guests a warm, welcoming space that feels both timeless and cozy.
What sets Prairie Creek Cottage apart is its serene location—tucked away enough to feel private and surrounded by nature, yet just minutes from downtown Ionia. Guests can enjoy morning coffee on the deck overlooking the water, relax in the spacious backyard, or take a quiet stroll along the creek. It’s not just a place to stay; it’s a place to slow down, reconnect, and experience the simple joys of being surrounded by beauty and history.
