We have stayed many places in many parts of the country, but this place is in our top 5 favorites! The setting is unmatched and the remodeling was perfect to the period the house was built. Everything was comfortable and so clean. We had eagles fly overhead and deer peeking at us from the grassland! Thank you for letting us enjoy this very lovely home in the country!

Quiet and secluded. Clean, but the bathroom needed a little attention. TVs were slow to tune to channels. Appreciated the K cup selections.

10/10 would stay again, such a charming house with modern amenities, it’s like if Laura Ingels-Wilder had a tv and a recliner. very comfortable, very quiet, close to our kayaking river float. we enjoyed seeing all the wildlife from the windows and deck of the property. Tony had thought of everything in terms of kitchen supplies, I packed over-prepared. I’d recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in the area

it was very interesting staying here. our first thought was that we should hold a se'ance, and by no means was it scarey to stay in, just sort of the vibe when first arriving and entering the home, would live to dig into the history .. i would have preferred some type of window covering ( no curtains/shades, except for the bathrm window) on the windows. There was also the discovery of no inside door handle on one of the bdrm doors, which i thought to be a hazard as the door opened in and could not be opened from inside if shut completely. and also a air conditioning unit, that stated not to be plugged in, as it would blow a fuse, my thought would be to just remove it. The house was very clean, beds were comfy, kitchen well stocked. unfortunately, we didn't have alot of time to check out the surrounding property, but lots of pretty flowers and natural Prairie grasses around the home. very buggy outside , dont forget bug spray. very close to canoe/kayak launching. I would definitely stay again.

My wife and I were very pleased with our stay. It's a beautiful location and the property is well taken care of. The house is charming and takes you back in time, and at the same time the owners have done a great job of updating and making the stay beyond comfortable! We would like to know more about the history of the house if that was possible. Hope to be back...the stay was great!
