Prairie Creek Inn

We had the most amazing time at this property. We were the only guests. We even checked out the rental right next to us. Beautiful location. Beautiful memories. I highly recommend this property if you want a place you want for a magical stay

Lovely property with comfortable room. Innkeepers were very friendly and breakfast was good.

What a gem! Way out in the country; a magnificently maintained home and barn; the owners Bruce and Maureen are there to greet you; the staff are equally as happy and polite and helpful..They put us up on the third floor in the Inspiration Point room; fun to sit at the desk and watch a storm come in; then sit and watch the sun rise later...very nicely appointed room; the living room, dining room and the family room downstairs all available for all to use and relax in...it couldn't be more worth it! Please consider this lovely BNB instead of a hotel; not that far from Lincoln; it is really heaven in Walton.. ps- the homemade breakfast was very fresh and tasty, too.

If you love looking in every nook and cranny, reading historical notes, Americana, and that homey creak from true wood floors, this is the place for you! There is a lot of love that has and will continue to be put into this house and property. If you are more city-fied and expect a spa, bite your tongue, find your humility, and accept the heartfelt graciousness of the wonderful couple who own and operate this home. If you walk the property, you will also have a very friendly, orange tabby lead the way!

Three friends and I stayed in the Outdoorsman Suite at the Lake Lodge, one of the housing units at Prairie Creek Inn. (We are professional women in our 60s on our annual "girls" weekend.) The inn keepers, Bruce and Maureen, were out of town and responsibility for running the entire facility for several days lay on the shoulders of their housekeeper/cook/handyman/grounds keeper Lesa. Our problems began the moment we stepped into the door of our suite--it was June and the suite was stifling hot. We could not find a thermostat anywhere. So for the first time of many that night, we had to call Lesa. Long story short, the thermostat was in the adjoining suite at the Lake Lodge, which was rented to another couple, so we had no control over the temperature of our suite. We found out later that the circuit breaker was also in the adjoining suite when we lost all power upstairs while trying to fix some snacks in the poorly wired "kitchenette," which consisted of a Mr. Coffee, a microwave, and dorm-sized refrigerator (the sink was in the bathroom). We were told the suite slept 6+, but there was only one private bedroom. The other "beds" were in the living area and upstairs loft (open to the downstairs) and consisted of lumpy futons and sofa sleepers which required major moving of furniture to make out. The sounds of people tossing, turning, breathing, sighing and snoring echoed throughout the suite all night long. We were also able to clearly discern the conversations of the couple in the adjoining suite, and could only assume they heard ours. The downstairs toilet plugged up, and despite Lesa's many efforts, remained clogged and unusable throughout our stay. Lesa went above and beyond what should have been required of her to address the numerous problems we encountered, but they were clearly beyond her ability to cope with and were not her fault. I did speak with one of the inn keepers, Bruce, after our stay and explained our dissatisfaction and requested at least a partial refund of our $600+ payment. He sent us $150. Needless to say, we will not be recommending Prairie Creek Inn to anyone. (My girlfriends and I have agreed to send our $150 refund to Lesa as a "tip.")

We came up here for our Anniversary! It was beyond our expectations! It was so peaceful & relaxing! Definitely a diamond in the ruff!! They have a lake with walking trails & the food was amazing! Thank you so much Bruce & housekeeper Lisa! We will definitely be coming back!!
