#Englishprairiebnb - 8 Bedroom - 4.5 Bathrooms

The house was perfect for a lovely family holiday! We had 11 adults, 4 kids, and 1 dog this year. There was plenty of room for everyone to have a great time. The house is stocked full of games and recreational areas (e.g., the kidquarium was a huge hit with our kids, as was the golf simulator). The kitchen has everything you need to cook at home for a large group. There is plenty of seating. We also have some elderly family members with accessibility challenges, but there were no issues as the house is very accessible. The house was very clean and meticulously maintained. The surrounding area is nice and quiet! Basically we loved staying here and have no issues or challenges to report!

If it was possible to give this host and property more than five stars, we would! Mike was extremely responsive with any questions (even on Thanksgiving day!) and provided detailed and clear check in/check out instructions and misc. details about the property. The kids LOVED the kidquarium and game table/tablet. The house had EVERYTHING we needed for our stay. Our family would highly recommend this host and property.

Upstairs and basement was not heated good it’s gives discomfort

Let's start with the positive--this place was PERFECT for what our large extended family was looking for. We had about 24 (adults & kids) folks total for a mini family reunion/lake (adjacent) weekend. The sleeping arrangements worked out perfectly, with plenty of bed space and individual bedrooms. The firepit area ROCKED. Loved the swinging benches, great spot to wind down at the end of the evening. We LOVED the pool/golf sim area. The younger kids especially spent hours and hours in there. The place was very tidy, and had a few extra perks we weren't expecting. There's a waffle bar full of all types of mix-in's and toppings. The coffee station was also a lifesaver and all the little games/activities made us never want to leave the house. Mike was also extremely responsive throughout the lead-up and during the actually weekend. Very appreciative of that.Now the negative--the noise-monitoring system caused quite a bit of concern throughout. We had no idea how "loud" we were being just by being indoors (with all doors/windows shut, given how hot it was). We triggered the system several times (not just during the 'quiet hours') throughout the weekend, even though we were just playing games and telling stories. We came to the conclusion that although the home comfortably fits large groups, you'll inevitably trigger the noise-monitoring system. If you'll have 10 people and think you'd all be sitting around chatting, especially at night, I wouldn't recommend this place.

The property was great and big enough to accommodate all 15 of our group.

A Perfect Christmas Holiday Stay For Our Family! My family and I stayed at English Prarie BNB for Christmas in 2024 (i.e., 11 adults, 4 kids, 2 dogs). It was perfect!!! The host Mike was quite communicative and his attention to detail was second-to-none. The property felt like a home away from home. It was fully decorated for the holidays, complete with a tree and holiday lights and red table runners and cute little candy cane drawer pulls and a hundred other small holiday-themed details all over the home which were so thoughtful!!! The host even left us with a Christmas tree decorating kit. The Kidquarium was meticulously maintained and the kids had a blast, the golf simulator was awesome, and the house was loaded up with many fun games for kids. We loved the electronic game table and shuffle board and ping pong table. The fully stocked coffee bar was great! The beds and linens were clean and crisp and comfortable, HVAC was perfect, and the property was accessible for kids and seniors alike. It was big enough so we could be together as much as we wanted, but there are also little break away rooms for people who wanted a little more alone time. Mike also put CO and smoke detectors throughout the home (excellent!), and cell phone chargers everywhere with USB Types A and C and USB Micro connectors everywhere. This kitchen was well-appointed with all the dishes and flatware and cups we needed (perhaps enough to entertain 25 or more people!). The home was quiet and huge. The flat screen TVs were great. Highly recommended!!!

Wonderful place and wonderful host!!!

Our family had a blast! Everyone from ages 4 months to ** years old had a great time. This house was perfect for hosting a large multi-family gathering. Rainy weather did not ruin our trip since there was so much to do inside. The kids enjoyed the bounce house, the digital game table, board games, and of course the pool! The host went above and beyond with special touches including having burp cloths, a soothing noise machine, and a nursery room set up! They even had an extra place to put the baby on the first floor. The location was convenient to the water ski show on the lake and our family enjoyed that too. Minor downsides-- nearby a main road (can hear/see cars when outside), keypad locks were a little confusing. Overall we had a fantastic experience and the kids are already asking to go back.

Great get away Even better than described
