Grandma and Grandpa in the blackberry patch.

Established in 1976, we have dedicated ourselves to providing a unique and comfortable vacation experience for our guests. Our legacy is deeply rooted in the love for the land and the joy of hosting travelers seeking relaxation and adventure.

Our Story

Prairie Base, named after the family call sign used on the CB radio to communicate across the farm, is more than just a vacation rental. It’s a gathering place steeped in history and tradition. Over the years, our farm has evolved from producing cattle, hay, and blackberries to welcoming guests to our four unique luxury rental properties: Headquarters, The Blue Brick, The Blackberry Room, and The Workshop. Each property carries its own story and charm, designed to provide a cozy and memorable stay.

Our Mission

At Prairie Base, our mission is simple: to offer peaceful stays on our prairie where comfort meets adventure. We believe in creating a home away from home, where every guest feels valued and cared for. Our properties are meticulously maintained, featuring modern amenities and thoughtful touches that ensure your stay is relaxing and enjoyable.
