Prairie Lodge Motel

This place is a real gem. Very clean and comfortable. Rooms are small but have fridge & microwave. Overall a great place to stay when in Council Grove.

A lovely home like luxury accommodation at the start of the historic Santa Fe trail. Wonderful!

We found the Prairie Lodge easily. We had called ahead to reserve a room with a single bed and a pack-and-play for our 3-month-old baby. We got there, and as the sign on the office door instructed (it was in the evening and the manager wasn't there), called the owner. She directed us to our room, which, sure enough had a key in the door waiting for us, and the pack-and-play already assembled. Top-notch service.The setting was peaceful. The cabins each seem to have one or two rooms in them. The whole place was one of the quieter hotel experiences I've had, and I slept well.The room itself felt somewhat cramped, but was usable. There was a double bed, two chairs, the pack-and-play, a closet and bathroom. All you need, really. A mini fridge, microwave, and TV were also present. Wifi was available, but somewhat flaky.Overall, I don't think I've ever stayed in a 50s motel that was so well-kept. Everything was clean and well-maintained. I'd stay again.

We normally stay here when we are in town, and love it. But we came into town for our lakeside wedding on March 25th, and had a total of 6 people. So we stayed at Lynda's other property, The Bradford Guest House. First, the pictures do not do this house justice. The house was not only warm and cozy, but all the rooms were nicely decorated, and all bathrooms had fluffy, fresh towels. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the comforts of home, from the cute dishes and coffee cups, to the place-mats. We had plenty of space to host a pre-wedding dinner in the large dining room, and when Mother Nature did not cooperate with our lakeside wedding, we were able to use the living room as the perfect backdrop to our small, intimate wedding. This house is a hidden gem in Council Grove. Thank you, Lynda, for your hospitality!

What a super find! Comfortable and super clean room with a large shower was a gift after a long week! The owner is gracious and on the property. I'd return in a heartbeat and stay nowhere else!
