Hi, I’m Megan! We’re so excited to have you stay with us. My family and I live on the same property, but our house is tucked far enough away on top of the hill that you’ll still have plenty of space and privacy, surrounded by trees. We have a separate driveway for the main house and a dedicated driveway just for guests, so it’s easy to feel at home and have your own space.
We’re close enough if you need anything at all — just message me anytime through the Vrbo app. We love sharing this special space with guests and want you to feel completely at home. We take great pride in keeping everything clean, cozy, and welcoming. Our favorite part is seeing guests make memories — from morning walks on the trail to stargazing by the fire. We hope you leave feeling refreshed, inspired, and connected to the beauty of the prairie.
Simple. Beautiful. Restful.
The Prairie Loft is country living — elevated.
