This stop was well worth the drive off the main road! The host was very communicative before and during our stay, and had a plate of freshly baked cookies waiting for us upon arrival! We found everything clean, welcoming, pet-friendly and comfortable! The kids all thought the yard art was cool, our dogs were thankful for a spacious place to walk, and we enjoyed the peaceful and quiet sounds of nature. Two things to be mindful of for future travelers - if arriving after dark, the roads are a bit narrow and winding; stop for provisions in Jacksonville or other nearby town before going to the cabin. Both minor details but hopefully helpful tips for future guests!

Stayed twice on a recent trip south and back from our home in WI. Dogs absolutely loved the property. Kevin is extremely welcoming, fresh cookies warm from the oven were a treat. Bed is very comfortable. We've always stayed at a place off of the I in past trips, this was so much more peaceful, and enjoyable for the dogs.

This was my second visit at Peace on the Prairie Too and it was just as cozy and welcoming as the first. The house is extremely clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with not just necessities, but extra touches. It's a joy to have such a lovely place to stay with my dog and to be able to get off the road and into the beautiful prairie surrounded by trees, flowers, and birds. I look forward to returning again.

Lovely piece of peace!

Kid friendly - pet friendly - lovely view of stars (when no clouds). Comfortable home! Stairs are kind of steep if you have someone with mobility issues but they have their other 1 story property too. I walked past it during a hike and it also looks lovely. Kevin was so easy to communicate with. I will be back.

I had such a great stay here with my dogs. The place had everything we needed and then some. The property is beautiful and I was lucky the weather cooperated so we could walk through the trails and I could take some pictures of the many birds in the area. I will definitely be back. Thank you!
