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!

The name says it all

Though bigger than my home in Key West, the name Peace on the Prairie Too - Tiny House describes it perfectly. Just a little off the beaten path with no homes too nearby, it was exactly what I had hoped for. The communication from the hosts was spot on, and the chocolate chip cookies were a real treat! Next time I visit family in the area, I will return for a longer stay.
