Kevin was a great host. Responsive when I had issues with the lock. Great homemade cookies.

This stop was well worth the drive off the main road! The host was very communicative before and during our stay, and had a plate of freshly baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival! We found everything clean, welcoming, pet-friendly and comfortable! The kids all thought the yard art was cool, our dogs were thankful for a spacious place to walk, and we enjoyed the peaceful and quiet sounds of nature. Two things to be mindful of for future travelers - if arriving after dark, the roads are a bit narrow and winding; stop for provisions in Jacksonville or other nearby town before going to the cabin. Both minor details but hopefully helpful tips for future guests!

Stayed twice on a recent trip south and back from our home in WI. Dogs absolutely loved the property. Kevin is extremely welcoming, fresh cookies warm from the oven were a treat. Bed is very comfortable. We've always stayed at a place off of the I in past trips, this was so much more peaceful, and enjoyable for the dogs.

Kevin was an excellent host and the house on the prairie was exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. We were surprised with fresh baked cookies upon arrival.The house was very cozy and walking the trails of the prairie was great for our pup. We would definitely stay here again the future!
