Great location and accommodations. Super clean, spacious and welcoming. Close to town in case you need anything but sit on the front porch and you’re on the edge of the prairie.

Perfect Home Base
The guesthouse was a perfect home base for our family while attending our nephew’s wedding. It was clean, welcoming and had everything we needed for our stay. Loved that it had 4 king sized beds and a large kitchen/family room. The guys had some success fishing in the pond! Cindy was excellent to work with. She was friendly, hospitable and quick to answer questions.

Beautiful space
Very spacious floor plan, had everything we needed. Having children's toys available for our 2 year old was a big plus! The host was very responsive and accommodating. Felt like home.
