The Main House

Guests are welcome to sit on the patio or on the big wrap around porch and play with our outdoor farm cats (they are VERY FRIENDLY!) We have several bikes that Katy Trail riders can rent for the day. We also have fishing poles that can be borrowed to fish in the pond. There is a fire pit by the pond that guests can use. We have roasting forks that can be borrowed...and probably the makings for s'mores...if our youngest daughter hasn't eaten all the Graham crackers. We also have a large library of movies for guests to borrow.

Please do not hesitate to call on us for anything that you might need. We would love to visit with you. Wendy LOVES tea, so we have a coffee and tea bar in the kitchen. Wendy has every flavor of tea imaginable and she is always brewing a pot (coffee is available too) for anybody who wants to share one with her.

The Farm at Prairie Vale History

The Farm at Prairie Vale was formerly a dairy farm. The farm has changed hands a few times over the last century. Everyone who has owned the house after the original owner has made their improvements. They have enclosed the porches on the west and south side of the house. They had also added the upper and lower rooms on the north side. Mr. Billings used the downstairs north room as his milk office. Mrs. Billings had also added mansion moldings and trim work from a Windsor mansion that had been destroyed by a tornado. She told us that during the renovations they found a 1910 newspaper behind the walls.

When we bought Prairie Vale, it was no longer an operating dairy farm and the vast fields had been sold. However, the old dairy barn still remains to tell the story of its former glory. We also added to the house. We put a wrap around porch on the North and West sides. We also expanded the kitchen and changed the downstairs milk office into a master bedroom. It has been a labor of love, but enjoy each day on our 14 acre farm that we call home. We raise several animals and grow herbs and vegetables in the garden.
