Peaceful Prairie hideaway

A sweet little cottage nestled in the trees overlooking a natural prairie. Well equipped for a couples getaway or a small family. Tucked away at the end of a dead-end road with many conveniences just minutes away - a super location! Property owners are onsite. They give you space but are super responsive to any need. We had an extended stay for medical care in the area and this little cottage was the perfect refuge. We loved the leisurely, private walks with our pups, the horses and chickens on the far end of the property, the wildlife, blazing sunrises and starry nights.

Weekend stay

Owner was flexible with me. The location was great. I lost count of the different birds I heard. The ducks were friendly and my dog tried to make friends with a box turtle.

Cozy Cottage Getaway

We spent over a week in the Garden Cottage during an extremely cold artic freeze in the area. The cottage has a wood burning stove that kept us warm and cozy during our stay. The grounds are beautiful, complete with chickens (and farm fresh eggs!) and horses and you can hike around thru woods and streams. Lovely natural spot, but still very convenient to stores and restaurants. Would definitely recommend.
