The interior was absolutely age appropriate and charming. Built in 1912, the house was immaculate and welcoming. We enjoyed the kitchen, porch, fire pit and just being in the country. Thanks for creating such a good space for all of us.

Lovely! This was the perfect spot for a reading retreat with fellow book lovers. The kitchen is fully equipped, which helped us do shared meals. The home is full of funky art and homemade touches - very cozy. The prairie trails are a real bonus. Comfortable furnishings, heating/cooling, and water temperature.

Enjoyed our stay for our youngest son's wedding. We were close to the venue, plenty room for the up to 6 guests who stayed at the property. Could have accommodated more. We did just a cookout with some extended family who stayed a few days after the wedding. Would definately consider staying at the prairie retreat again.

Great stay and neat Farm house.

It is a little out of the way to get to but perfect for a family get together. We were there in the winter but I can imagine the property is amazing when things thaw out.

Amazing Place!

We were in town for a wedding. The groomsman party stayed during the weekend. We were amazed by the unique house and property! The hosts sent detailed instructions online as well as a great binder with information on the property in the house. The house was so clean and stocked with plenty of everyday items needed as well as bonus items such as board games, toys, etc. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Highly recommended this stay!

Great little house with privacy

If you want privacy and room for you and your family to relax that is only 10 minutes away from town this is it. Kids had their own bunk house to themselves. Plenty of room/beds for a large crew. Sweet little house.

Family getaway

Enjoyed our stay very much! A family getaway for family as well as a birthday party for my grandson and 4 of his friends. They had a great time exploring and we drove them to the lake just a few miles away as well. A very relaxing atmosphere and a lovely old home to spend the time in. Very well maintained.

Sooo Peaceful...

We loved our stay. Everything went smooth and the property was great. Very rural and quiet even though it was only about ten minutes to Wal Mart. My wife and I use VRBO from time to time and have never seen a property so clean. I wish we could have stayed for longer.

Relaxing location

Just as advertised out in the country. Large home plenty of room inside and out. Older kids loved the bunk house. Would love to have stayed longer as we were just in town for wedding. Too busy to enjoy the entire property.

Country

Nice large home in the country for large family gathering. Large inside sun porch and lovely back deck to sit/eat on and a fire pit with firewood. We heard many bird types, wild turkeys, bull frogs, other nature sounds. Beautiful area for walks.

Great Country Home Pet Friendly

Stepping into this exquisite country home, we were pleasantly surprised to find our expectations exceeded. In search of a pet-friendly retreat away from the city's hustle and bustle for our niece's wedding at the Midnight Gem, this home was an ideal choice - perfectly situated and beautifully appointed. The hosts were outstanding, ensuring a seamless check-in and checkout experience.
