5 out of 5A FABULOUS weekend in the country!
April 16, 2013
While planning to visit our daughter at college, my husband and I decided to try something different. We had recently stayed at different hotels on each visit with the hopes of finding one that we liked and would return to when we came back to Lincoln. Even though the Inn was farther out, we decided that it would be nice to stay at a B&B and enjoy a little peace & quiet during our downtime. That was the BEST decision we've ever made. When we arrived on Friday night, Maureen & Bruce met us at the front door. They instantly made us feel right at home. It was kind of a cool, breezy evening and the smell of the wood-burning fireplace was very welcoming when we walked into the foyer. After a quick tour of the property and a brief introduction to a couple of the other residents (Peanut Butter, the cat and Winston, the dog) we got settled into our room. In the morning we woke to the sound of birds in the trees outside of our windows--no traffic and no noisy residents in the hallway/next door. After breakfast on Saturday morning, Winston, the dog escorted us down the trail to see the cabin that is currently under construction...we can't wait to see how it looks when it's finished. Throughout our stay our hosts were most gracious and made us feel very comfortable in our "home away from home". The food was delicious (and filling), and our room was extremely comfortable. We particularly appreciated the electric blanket on a couple of very cool early spring nights--no cold sheets! Sunday evening we cuddled on the couch in front of the huge projection screen and enjoyed a DVD that we had brought with us. As our daughter was only a freshman this year, we're looking forward to returning to see Bruce & Maureen over the next few years. We will DEFINITELY recommend the Prairie Creek Inn to all of our friends/family who might be traveling in the Lincoln area. ~B. & B. in Wyoming
5 out of 5A great anniversary getaway!
July 09, 2012
We stayed overnight in the Prairie View Room for our 6th anniversary. It is a wonderful location-outside of the city limits but close enough to head in to Lincoln for a meal or other entertainment. We LOVED walking around the grounds-great lakeside trail and prairie path. Bruce and Maureen were very ammenable to a few particular needs and were very flexible with mealtime in the morning. The food, service, hospitality, and room were all excellent!
5 out of 5Perfect, perfect setting
May 10, 2012
We rented the entire property for our mom's 90th birthday celebration. All of my siblings, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren (there were 33 of us) descended on Bruce and Maureen for the weekend of May 5th. We could not have dreamed of a better venue! Bruce and Maureen provided the perfect location for our family, and the breakfasts were beautifully prepared and delicious. We were able to tell and re-tell stories, laugh, and re-connect with each other. We are looking for another venue in Washington for our next family gathering, but it is going to be hard to find anything that will live up to what we were able to experience at Prairie Creek Inn! Thanks Bruce and Maureen for everything! We will never forget the hospitality you showed us.

We were given a gift certificate to stay at Prairie Creek Inn. We stayed the end of October and had a wonderful stay. Bruce was a very friendly host and we enjoyed visiting with him and learning all about the history of the house. We walked around the grounds and enjoyed the views from our suite. It was very relaxing and so peaceful out in the country. The city of Lincoln, NE is only a few short minutes away and we enjoyed a nice dinner that evening. We would recommend this B&B.

4.8 out of 5A fairy tale wedding!
January 03, 2012
As a wedding gift we held my son's wedding here and it was a memorable time for all of us! We rented both houses for two nights, used the lake venue for the wedding ceremony, the barn for the dinner, dance, and reception. We had rehearsal dinner in the main house the night before the wedding and the bride and groom opened gifts the morning after the wedding during a wonderful breakfast that our hosts created! Family members and the wedding party stayed both nights which made the event a special time for everyone. There were 175 guest at the wedding. Maurine and Bruce were so good to everyone- I'll never forget Bruce and Maurine staying up watching movies with the bride and groom after the wedding party! Bruce even let us use his brand new- unopened father's day present, a very nice croquette set after we spied it in the basement :). We were basically allowed to take over the entire property, Bruce and Maurine accommodated our every request, and there were many, most of which required hard work and time from our hosts. A great place to have a wedding you and your guests will cherish the memories forever! As a side note, the event was VERY affordable and exceeded my son and his wife's wildest dreams!

My sister and myself stayed with Bruce and Maureen for 4 nights in October, 2011. We heard of them through my Uncle who lives in Lincoln and they said it was a refurbished home brought to the outskirts of Lincoln a few years earlier. After viewing their website, I was hooked. I remembered this house when I lived in Lincoln and had no idea it had been moved and fixed up. Well, fixed up is an understatement. What Bruce and Maureen have done is outstanding. The decor is welcoming and beautiful. There was even a picture in one of the sitting rooms that was the exact picture we had on our own childhood wall when we were young growing up in Northeast NE on a farm. We had wonderful perks every step of the way. We were able to walk to the lake, pet some horses, check out the barn, hug a kitty, come and go as we pleased and arrived back to the house with warm lights glowing as our welcome. Breakfast was great and since we didn't eat pork, Bruce cooked us turkey as a substitute, along with fresh fruit each time. He also served us on the 3rd floor our last morning, bringing everything up the elevator, since the house was full that morning of a large group for a wedding that weekend. We had TV, movies if we liked, or if we just stayed on the 3rd floor, we had a TV there too. They had a shelf of books with all kinds of material and I found a favorite to read in the evening. We slept well, as my sister had the bed and I had the sleeping sofa and could watch the sunrise from my bed. It really couldn't have been a better stay. I will certainly stay there again.

October 31, 2011
The room, and the views from the room, were wonderful. I stayed in the Prairie View Room with the private bath, where there is a whirlpool tub. It was a very relaxing stay, and I loved hiking the trails on the property. Bruce and Maureen were excellent hosts. Thanks!
5 out of 5Warm, kind and inviting!
October 08, 2011
This was our first Bed and Breakfast experience and it was OUTSTANDING! We stayed there for my wife's birthday and found a peaceful escape from our hectic schedules. The owners were extremely kind and inviting putting us right at ease. Our room was comfortable and we loved the care taken in remodeling this 1911 home. The breakfast was tasty, I was especially impressed with the omelet, and I don't usually like eggs. They strive for locally grown food whenever possible and the freshness makes a huge difference. We also like the grounds that are there. We hiked a few of the trails and enjoyed the virgin prairie just outside the front door. If you want to stay at a place that is warm and friendly, stay here.
