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!

A most restful place, simple, yet filled with all you need. What joy in hearing a rain shower pass through.
Bonus: The cookies are amazing!
