“Wonderful B&B”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010

We stayed at this lovely b&b for two days. The room was wonderful and nicely decorated. We were on the first floor and we had no problem with any noise being on the ground level. The breakfast was delicious and very filling. The innkeeper even allowed us to use a coupon at the gift shop that is there. The home was very inviting and made you feel very comfortable. Our highlight was at breakfast to see the very small hummingbirds come to the feeders and you could hear their hum. The innkeeper was very knowledgeable about the variety of birds, the grounds were nice as we were eating breakfast deer were outside of our eating area. The tea and afternoon treats were a nice touch also. This place is highly recommended.

“Peaceful and Romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2010

Our stay at the Songbird Prairie B&B was absolutely perfect! We were celebrating our 23rd Wedding Anniversary and couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. It was very peaceful, relaxing and romantic. The Inn was beautiful, our room was amazing and breakfast delicious!

“Quiet, Relaxed, Delicious, Romantic”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 July 2010

I stayed here the day after my wedding to get away from our families and to take a few minutes for ourselves. This is a very enchanting place to stay with an exceedingly gracious host and very talented chef (same person as the host). I couldn't have asked for anything better and it was truly a magical part of wedding experience.

“Our experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 July 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Overall a nice place. Our only complaint was, we had bought a package that the B&B offered that did not meet our expectations, when we spoke with our hostess about our concerns we were met with resistance and was never offered for it to be rectified. It was not until we decided to leave that our concerns were addressed. Also we noticed when we first checked in, that there was a journal in our room for the guest to write about their experiences; after our issues in the room were addressed we noticed that the journal was no longer there. Thought that was a little unnecessary. Our weekend would have been perfect if our issues were addressed with a little bit more consideration.

Innkeeper Response
We enjoy having guests in our home. This is our business and our home; therefore we wouldn’t say or do anything that would jeopardize our guest’s satisfaction for any reasonable requests. In the check in room service process, we instruct our guests how to operate the whirlpools the DirecTV, VCR, DVD as well as the procedures for the Fireplaces in the winter months. Unfortunately, there must have been a misunderstanding throughout the check in process that our guests assumed that we would know when they would be returning from dinner; and that on a 95 degree in July day that they would want their fireplace turned on. Even so, had they called us to request this, we would have accommodated them. Our voice mail picked up the phone call and we did not receive the call that said they were deciding to leave. I was upstairs getting another room ready, as I did theirs by turning the bed down, icing their beverage and placing their box of candy, when I spoke with him. We satisfied their request by lighting the Fireplace, dimming the lights, starting their whirlpool and lighting their candle. Their breakfast was the usual 3 courses served to them and their dessert was on an anniversary plate. They were also sent an anniversary card for their 13th wedding anniversary. Once again, it is unfortunate that they misunderstood the Bed and Breakfast package offer.

“Relaxation at its best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 July 2010

Favorite place we just keep going back to time and again! We could stay anywhere, but why would we? Barbara and Efrain are the most gracious hosts, the home is beautifully decorated, the bedrooms are extremely spacious, the bathrooms have whirlpool tubs, heated floors,comfy robes and thick towels. The best part I look forward to is the fantastic breakfast that I didn't have to cook. We just sit back, take our time and enjoy the wonderful food that is prepared and served at the right temperatures, cold food is cold and hot foods are piping hot--as they should be. I truly don't know how they do it and make it look so easy!
