We love it at Songbird Prairie! We try and visit each year for our anniversary and each year it is amazing! We've been to several B&Bs and Songbird is our favorite by far. Barbara and Efrain are wonderful, the rooms are beautiful, views are amazing, food is delicious... can't say enough!

There are not enough words to describe how much my husband Austin and I loved Songbird Prairie. We went for our honeymoon in the beautiful autumn season and the grounds were absolutely breathtaking with fall colors. Every detail at Songbird has been lovingly attended to and the rooms are spectacular - from gorgeous furniture and decor to luxurious linens and robes. The breakfasts are SO delicious and quite hearty, and are perfectly served in a sunroom surrounded by woods and bird feeders that attract a constant stream of cardinals, finches, blue jays, robins and more. We also got massages from a licensed LMT, Leslie, which was a wonderfully relaxing way to start the trip. All the arrangements for that were handled through the B&B. The owners are extremely personable and friendly and have put a tremendous amount of work into the B&B. I'm recommending Songbird Prairie to everyone I know, and my husband and I will definitely be back!

Best breakfast I ever had at a B&B. I loved having the birds close enough to touch. Can't wait to see the hummingbirds in the spring.

Its a GREAT place to escape reality and just relax and unwind. We walked out the door and saw 3 deer playing in the field. Its very relaxing to sit and hear the birds chirp. The Breakfast is something to be seen. Words won't do it justice. If you looking for a wonderful get away to relax, you won't go wrong staying here. Bill Hartman

I've stayed at Songbird Prarie numerous times when I'm in their area on business. It's perfect to return to the B&B after a long work day to a very quiet and tranquil location. The attention to detail in every room is phenomenal. The rooms are very comfortable. I appreciate being able to work via wireless internet in the evenings while enjoying the fireplace in every room. Barbara's breakfasts?? Wow!

This was our second stay at songbirg prarie and it was even better than the first stay. i always thought that b&b's were for my parents (i'm 25), but my wife and i LOVE it here. we love the breakfast, the walking paths, the nature, the birds (yes, there are so many birds outside and barbara knows so much about them), and how close it is to our house in northwest indiana. in fact, during our second stay, we loved our room SO much that we stayed in all day on saturday and watched movies. the bed was the most comfortable bed my wife and i had ever slept in and we can't wait to go back and sleep in another room! so far, we've stayed in the warbler and the cardinal rooms and they are amazing. they're a far cry from the cold 'colonial' rooms with doilies everywhere that you see at other bed and breakfasts. can't wait to come back for our anniversary next year.

We went to Songbird Prairie for our 7th wedding anniversary. My husband found Songbird online by accident, and after looking at the pictures and seeing what they had to offer, we thought we would give it a try. We are so glad that we did!!! The place is beautiful. The room was amazing, and so relaxing. Sunday morning breakfast was great. The owners truly go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. We couldn't ask for a better way to celebrate our anniversary. We have already started telling people about the place and we look forward to getting back there this fall for a weekend get-away again!!!! Adam and Heather Lyle

We had a wonderful weekend at the Songbird Prairie. Barbara and Efrain have a beautiful home and go above and beyond to make sure you experience the songbirds and make you feel at home. We have stayed in numerous B&Bs across the country and this was by far one of the best breakfast dining experiences we have had. I would highly recommend this B&B to anyone who is going to be in the Valparaiso area. Sheryl ---Germantown, TN

My husband and I spent our honeymoon at the Songbird Prairie Bed and Breakfast and it was the best thing we ever could have done. Songbird is so relaxing and the people are welcoming and kind. We had the most amazing honeymoon and owe a lot of that to the Songbird. Thank you! Rachel & Chad

We have been to quite a lot of B&Bs and this one is simply outstanding in our minds. I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially to birders. Not only are you surrounded by wonderful sites to go birding, but when you return to your inn you have the delight of being in setting of singing birds and when you partake of the scrumptious breakfasts you are once again surrounded by birds and birdsong. It is simpy an experience that you won't want to miss.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Song Bird. The property was beautiful and peaceful. I loved the updated clean rooms. I didn't feel like I was staying at grandma's house like many other bed and breakfast feel. Breakfast was wonderful and very filling. We plan to return.

My wife & I first experienced this lovely B&B on our wedding night, the Bluebird room offering a very romantic stay. Then to awake to a delightful breakfast served by Barbara made our first night together that much more memorable. We have now returned for 2 more visits, and each one has taken us to a 'world' of our own, a time away from everyday life. One of the most beautiful & relaxing places either of us have ever spent an evening.

Everyone needs to stay at this B&B. No kidding...my husband and I are hooked! We cannot even think of going anywhere else. It is only 25 min. from our house, but all we talk about is when we're going back. It is a place of serenity and warm hospitality. Barbara and Efrain are the BEST! They make you feel like royalty. We have stayed in the Blue Bird, the Robin and the Warbler. They are ALL fabulous. Not one single disappointment. The pictures on the website don't even tell a quarter of the grandness of these rooms. Prepare to be amazed! The grandness of the Songbird could never be captured in a picture....you have to see for yourself!!!! Book a room now and you'll never go anyplace else! We can't!!!

If this is your first time or your 100th experience at a B&B you must put Songbird Prairie on your must visit list. Every part of te experience is outstanding. The rooms are all beautiful, the hosts are most gracious, the breakfast an exquisite delight. And if you have any interest in nature, the "show" out the windows is fascinating.

Hello, My name is Mikki Sinn, my husband and I are young newly weds from Terre Haute, IN and Hamlet,IN we are Lieutenants in the United States Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol. We were searching for the best Bed and Breakfast to enjoy our honeymoon and something that would not break our piggy bank. We came across the internet site for Songbird Prairie and we couldn't help but be captured by its beauty. We stayed two nights but were in love with Songbird Prairie the moment we walked into it. It was like a fairy tale. The service was beyond amazing, the food was so good that it was a taste of heaven, the rooms...I can't begin to describe how we felt about it, it is something you have to experience for yourself, you just never want to leave. I have never seen such an imaculate room. My husband and I will without a doubt be back for an anniversay or just simply to stay - it was that great of an experience and we hope others will discover this piece of heaven. It is more than worth your money!!! ~Mikki and David Sinn Hamlet, IN

This was at least our 4th visit here! We have stayed in every room. Our next stay will be in the newest suite, soon to be available. Consistency is the best word to describe the atmosphere of this establishment. You can depend on being treated like loyalty every time you stay. Barbara goes above and beyond what is expected for a "B&B" meal! It truly is a "dining experience" not just a meal. The rooms are lavishly furnished, impeccably clean. Songbird Prairie is by far the best B&B we have ever visited!

A friend of mine told me about songbird, and said it was the best B&B she had stayed at. Although I was a little skeptical at first, just because of the location, I eventually decided to give it a try. My boyfriend and I stayed for one night and we loved it! The room was perfect, our hosts were fantastic, and the property was beautiful. Even the dinner we had downtown was great. I wish we had stayed for two nights instead of one.

Of the many B&B's we have stayed in America and also abroad our stay at Songbird Prairie is the most memorable. Both Barbara and Efrain went out of their way to make us feel welcome and very much at home. The quality of the food and its preparation was a special treat and the elegant presentation made it even better. Breakfast at Songbird Prairie is an experience. Our room was well appointed (Bluebird Room) and comfortable; the modern bathroom with all its amenities a luxury.

We recently enjoyed this amazing B&B to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. We were immediately delighted by the warmth of the innkeepers and the beauty of the inn and its surroundings. Cheescake, cookies and beverages available for our enjoyment, chocolate delights under glass by our bedside each night, clean robes, slippers and lush towels were just a few of the details that set the Songbird apart from most others we have visited over the years. The cleanliness and beauty of the rooms were just superb. And the peacefulness was divine - literally. Whether quietly admiring the wildlife at the breakfast tables each morning, walking on the grounds or napping in a hammock, this solitude was just what our souls needed. Thank you so very much for exceeding our expectations! We are already looking forward to our next visit. JKS

Our one night stay at Songbird Prarie B&B was memorable. Effrain did a fabulous job of greeting us and giving us the Grand Tour (although he called himself a novice at this since it is usually Barbara who does this). We sat outside under the porch in a thunderstorm, read our magazines and watched the birds. We enjoyed our night in the Cardinal Suite which was tastefully decorated, immaculately clean, more than adequately supplied and included such comforts as robes and slippers and a lucious chocolate in a glass container on each side of the bed. Our three course breakfast the next morning was delicious. We enjoyed fresh fruit cut in the shape of birds, an omelette made to order, freshly baked biscuits, bacon and, although we were too full to sample it, Barbara's banana dessert looked sinfully delicious. This B&B is in the country and is nestled in a wooded area where you can enjoy the wildlife as you eat breakfast. They have microphones to better hear the birds and resources to help you identify them - this was the draw to the B&B for us and we did not leave disappointed.

We arrived after our wedding to Songbird Prarie and even after the exhausting day we just endured , we were captivated by the charm and warmth and character of the place. We entered in to the soft glow of candles and ambient light and QUIET! It was the perfect escape from a long day of sore feet uncomfortable clothes and crazy friends and family. I couldn't have hoped for a more romantic setting for my new wife and I. We missed breakfast but everything smelled delicious and the coffee was great. You have to see it for yourself, Barbara was just the sweetest thing. So polite and helpful. We will be making a tradition of attending Songbird Prarie for our anniversary. -

We were married at nearby Aberdeen Manor in Valpo. Our family gifted us a night at Songbird Prairie after our reception so we wouldn't have to stay at a regular hotel. Everything was wonderful! My husband picked up our key prior to the regular check-in time since we would be arriving after hours. The Bluebird Suite was so beautiful when we arrived; it exceeded the photos on the website. Candy, chocolate-covered strawberries, and sparkling cider were waiting for us to snack on in our suite. We especially appreciated the lighted whirlpool tub to relax in after a very long day. The breakfast we had the next morning was fantastic! We enjoyed sitting in the sunny breakfast room and its expansive views of the property and woods. It was so relaxing and quiet, which was much appreciated after all of the wedding hubub over the prior two days. We were too full to eat our warm apple pie at the end of the meal so Barbara packed it up "to go." It is obvious that Efrain and Barbara pay attention to detail and care about providing their guests an exceptional experience. We would stay there again without question.

This was are 3rd visit to the Songbird. I appreciate the modern ammenities Barb and Efrain have provided in such a comfortable Midwest setting. The Inn is just one minute from US-30 but you feel like you are in the middle of the country away from the world. We sat and drank coffee outside while we watched the wildlife awake and start feeding at all the feeders. We came inside to the smell of breakfast being served in the sunroom, which was delicious. The Songbird is truly a luxurious Inn and I highly suggest this place for a weekend getaway.

This was an exceptional bed and breakfast. There was a large selection of cold and hot drinks (really lovely teas) and sweet and salty snacks on offer all the time. The room was great- very well appointed- very thoughtfully put together. The food was really well done as well. Barbara was so warm and helpful with everything from dinner reservations to the migration of the local birds. It is an ideal combination of 5 star amenities and a really beautiful setting. It was so nice to get out of the city and walk in the woods- we saw deer and at least 13 different species of birds! It was incredibly relaxing.

My husband and I spent our 15th wedding anniversary at the Songbird Prairie. Barbara's three course breaksfasts were lovely to look at and amazing to eat. We didn't need lunch either of the two days we stayed at the B&B. She had sample menus from a few restaurants without a twenty minute drive and we were able to decide where to eat with little risk of being disappointed. We only met Efrain briefly but he was very friendly and told us some history of the house. He also helped us find a suitable pharmacy where we could get a prescription refilled that my husband forgot. The Riveras went out of their way to help us deal with that unfortunate situation and refocus on enjoying our anniversary. On top of all of this it was the beginning of the cicada season but we hardly noticed because the dinning room had backup CD music of the lovely birds to greet us instead of the chirping bugs. Now I really dislike these bugs because we had a massive season of them a few years back. Barbara's concern to make our stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible was further evidence in the use of music when mother nature wasn't quite cooperating. Our room was lovely and well equipped with towels and various bathroom supplies. The huge truffles by the bedside were a delightful surprise. The room even came with slippers and robes. The only way I would improve the stay would be the addition of some sort of closet to the rooms; we brought some nice clothes and it would have been good to be able to hang them up. We do not often stay at a B&B more than once but if we are ever up in the Valparaiso way again we would stay here. I've recommended it to several of my friends.

Of all the inns my husband and I have stayed in, this was the best! We stayed on New Years Eve and there was a horrible storm. The power went out for few hours and we ate breakfast by candle light and by the fireplace. It was great the way they took care of us. The breakfast was fabulous and a 4 course meal.Even with the power out for that short time it was still the best!
