“Absolutely the Best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before and I had lots of intentions on trying different ones in different places, but since experiencing Songbird Prairie all I can say is WOW!!!!! My husband and I are hesitant to stay anywhere else, because this experience was so wonderful we do not believe that any place else could even compare. We were here for an anniversary getaway and found every aspect of our stay to be excellent. We stayed in the Robin Suite and the accomodations were luxurious. From the sumptuous bed linen to the romantic Jacuzzi in the bathroom, everything about the room was perfect. Because we stayed in December we were able to take advantage of the romantic fireplace, and there was even a beautiful christmas tree on display in the room. Barbara graciously set up every detail I requested and helped make our stay even more special. The inn is tucked away in a nice quiet area, but yet it is still near all the amenities the city of Valparaiso has to offer. Finally, I can't say enough about the food. The continental breakfast (if that's what you can call it:) was absolutely divine. It was set up beautifully on fine dinnerware and was unlike any other continental breakfast I have ever experienced. And just when we thought it couldn't get better than that, Miss Barbara prepared the most exquisite gourmet breakfast that left us speechless. We absoulutly enjoyed every bit of our stay and we can not wait to go back again. I have been telling everyone I know about our stay and we highly recommend this property especially if you are a couple looking for a romantic and simply sexy experience.

Room Tip: We saw every room and they all look wonderful, but we stayed in the Robin Suite and would say you MU...

“Much more than I expected and in my own back yard”

I had no idea what to expect; having stayed in many B and B's in Europe; this was a slice of heaven. My room; the Purple finch suite was charming and cozy. It was a wonderful respite during the holiday week and breakfast was truly a gourmet treat.

“I really wanted to love this B&B”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011
3
people found this review helpful

This B&B was not our tastes. There were just too many rules starting with having to sign a waiver for damages, a first for us in the hundreds of B&Bs we have stayed at. The owner kept saying that this is just like a hotel and that is how we felt - Martha Stewart's hotel, where you were afraid to touch anything. We know these are just our personal opinions, but we prefer a more relaxed environment. Everything seemed so contrived, with bird calls being piped in rather than just opening up windows and listening to nature. One thing that was strange is when we arrived they did not show us how to use basic things in the room, such as cable TV, fireplace, and switching from regular to handheld shower. Every B&B we stay at this is standard. We called them and Efrain was very friendly, while Barbara seemed a tad bossy. Another thing is we had a two for one coupon and she said it was for one continental breakfast and one full breakfast. This is another first; I guess that is another rule. We didn’t see this rule anywhere written, but then there are so many rules it is hard to read them all I am not a lawyer. The breakfast was average we have had better breakfasts throughout Canada and the U.S. It seemed like there were more garnishes than actual food. The dessert was unique, though. We had a fruit ice cream in fruit shells. It was nice that we were upgraded to a better room, but then again our original room was a first floor room that was rented to an elderly couple that needed it, so they did make money on that room. We received the info on this in an email. I don’t always read my email so I think it would have been more personal to call us. My wife has a bad back and may have preferred the first floor room, but we understood if an elderly couple has greater needs. All in all is was not for us, so we left a day early as we were not enjoying ourselves. If you would enjoy staying in a hotel run personally by Martha Stewart with various flowers and herbs in every dish served, this is your perfect place.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 June 2011

If u make this your 1St experience with B&B then all other will pale in comparison. It will be like going from 4 season to a motel 8. This place is fantastic. Like Martha Steward on steriods, but in a good way!!! Every need and detail beautifully done without being stuffy and pretentious. Better than the photos. Better than described. Cuisine superb, rooms amazing, amenities just right. Hostess beautiful people. Going back ASAP!
