Summary: We only stayed two nights but it was such a nice comfortable home for the four of us and our two dogs. So clean... not what I would have expected for the first time staying in a place that allows pets. We enjoyed the fire ring with stocked wood pile in the evening and visiting with the horses nearby each morning. The home was easy to find coming from the east by looking up Prairie House Karbers Ridge. The owners were quick to stop by for a minor household issue and were so helpful when we had a family emergency.

Summary: Girls trip to do some hiking in Shawnee national forest- this location was very close to several fantastic hikes. Didn’t have a code or address without asking- but Elizabeth was very responsive and got us what we needed. GPS worked perfect to guide us there once we had an address. The house was large, comfortable and the sunset view from the back porch was amazing. Had an issue with mice- again, Elizabeth and her husband were responsive and set up traps and emptied them in a timely manner. Four mice in less than 24 hours was a bit overwhelming, but the property is in the middle of a field so I suppose we were in their space!

Summary: Our kiddo got such a kick out of staying in “her town” (our location was a surprise until we arrived)! The home was perfect! Well stocked & I loved how the layout was spread out, which gave us all privacy. The proximity of Garden of the Gods was great & we got to see the horses that live on the land. Relaxing in the hot tub after hiking was the best & we’ve decided we should make Elizabeth’s birthday in Elizabethtown a tradition! See you next year!

Summary: The property was very spacious and was laid out well, if the configuration was a bit unusual. It was close to local attractions such as Garden of the Gardens and Cave in a Rock. It could have been challenging to find, except that the host provided excellent directions. Two of the bedrooms had doors which were sticky, the bathroom we used lacked hooks or towel racks, and the stove could benefit from a light and fan. Generally, though, an excellent property suitable for more people and/or a longer stay. The air hockey table is a nice extra feature.
