The house had plenty of beds, the kitchen had what we needed to make breakfast and plenty of outdoor space. The Sod house was a fun addition.

I grew up not too far from this farm and was back visiting family. It was perfect for our 4/2 year old girls and seven month old son. Each had great places to sleep upstairs. The two girls loved going down to see the cows, walking through the sod houses, playing in the sand box and running around the farm. They also loved being so close to the Dairy Queen down the road. The host was very accommodating and helpful. Although the home is older it was great to get away from the big city and spend some time out in the country in this charming home. Would highly recommend staying here!!

Everything in the house was fine; however, we had problems because when we got back from work, the kitchen and the basement were flooded with water. We had to buy supplies to clean it up. We tried to contact the owners, but they never responded. We even sent them videos of everything, and they kept saying they would get back to us, but we never received a response. They kept asking the same questions. We spent about $100 buying supplies to clean up all the water.

It’s a nice house in a prairie, around corn fields. Be aware of lots of lady bugs, we didn’t mind this issue.
