It was perfect stay after a long day at the State Fair. Gracious hosts, perfect home away from home for us. The little home was clean, great set up, easy access-just a great place to stay-away from the city.

This house was amazing...very quiet and clean! There are a lot of fun things to do around the area! The town has a great public pool and even an old time drive in theatre.

A gem on the prairie

We had a lovely visit to a great little cabin! Everything is available with a well-stocked kitchen (even coffee grounds), extra bedding, etc. Deb even provided an iron and ironing board when we needed it. Very clean and well-organized. We had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend it.

Fun country Oasis

What a cute little place for our 2nd Annual Girls New Year's Eve outing. This place had everything we needed. The water went out while here and the owner came over to see if we needed any. Loved all the vintage items. My daughter loved the 1988 JcPenny catalog. JcPencatacacatalog
