  I keep going back there for a few nights a month while on field work dutie and I must say that I love it everytime. The owners are so friendly and they have a knack for making you feel at home in this 1930s historic building. Love the style and the uniqueness of the place. Usually quiet. They offer a great breakfast too that is served by the manager and good coffee in the morning. They love chatting with you about where you come from or where you are going. The owner makes jewelry and has it for sale as well in the corner. Love the vibe here, but definitely not your youth party-goer hostel. Its more of a relaxing retreat, which I always need :)

  Loved my time here. So peaceful. My room was beautiful and the scenery awe inspiring. And the breakfast? Very delicious and so filling I didn't have to have lunch that day. The people who run the place are lovely too. I would love to go back. Maybe someday.

  I have chosen to go back there multiple times over the summer for field work and every time has been perfect. The owners are very friendly and love talking with everyone in the morning over breakfast. The rooms are comfortable and have everything you need. Highly recommend it :)

  Comfortable, great breakfast, great hospitality , very unique, lovely Prairie location. Only reason I didn't give a five as there are shared bathrooms but there is always at least one available. Some rooms have their own sinks. I do believe there is at least one room with its own facilities.

  Tons of charm! I love the historic convent building and it's a wonderful place to be if you're doing anything in the Grasslands National Park down the road. The owners are extremely friendly and it's a beautiful area. Also relatively affordable. They need a new mattress in room number 1 though, with two people in the bed I was awake all night.
