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

An amazing place to stay!

I cannot say enough good about this property. It was clean. It was peaceful. Had everything you needed and more for kitchen items, towels, blankets, bedding. The bed was comfortable. The host was very welcoming and helpful. We tried to book again as soon as we left, but it was already booked out. This place was an amazing find. We will be coming back

Countryside Escape

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. We had a great time with our two kids and they loved all the space as well! We highly recommend checking this place out and we will be back!

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.

Peaceful getaway

I spent a peaceful and relaxing weekend at the Little Country House. Deb and her husband were wonderful hosts! It was a beautiful little home - new appliances, clean and modern decor with a country feel, fully stocked with everything you’d need in the kitchen and bathroom, and a comfortable and cozy bed. Outdoors there are comfortable rocking chairs and a nice fire pit area with lights. I came here for a weekend alone, but it could definitely host a family as well. I would highly recommend!

Quiet property in the Country

We loved staying in the little red house. Deb was very accommodating although the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom were very well equipped. We didn’t cook while there because we like to eat out on vacation, but all the appliances, including and stack washer and dryer, are new.

Great Cabin, Great Service

Deb and her husband were great. They got us all checked in and were great about responding to messages if we needed anything. The cabin was clean, beautiful and perfect for our family. The fire pit was one of our favorite things on the summer night. We enjoyed our down time, but it was also close enough to go do activities like the Valle drive in movie theater.
