Ulasan Prairie Creek Inn

Three friends and I stayed in the Outdoorsman Suite at the Lake Lodge, one of the housing units at Prairie Creek Inn. (We are professional women in our 60s on our annual "girls" weekend.) The inn keepers, Bruce and Maureen, were out of town and responsibility for running the entire facility for several days lay on the shoulders of their housekeeper/cook/handyman/grounds keeper Lesa. Our problems began the moment we stepped into the door of our suite--it was June and the suite was stifling hot. We could not find a thermostat anywhere. So for the first time of many that night, we had to call Lesa. Long story short, the thermostat was in the adjoining suite at the Lake Lodge, which was rented to another couple, so we had no control over the temperature of our suite. We found out later that the circuit breaker was also in the adjoining suite when we lost all power upstairs while trying to fix some snacks in the poorly wired "kitchenette," which consisted of a Mr. Coffee, a microwave, and dorm-sized refrigerator (the sink was in the bathroom). We were told the suite slept 6+, but there was only one private bedroom. The other "beds" were in the living area and upstairs loft (open to the downstairs) and consisted of lumpy futons and sofa sleepers which required major moving of furniture to make out. The sounds of people tossing, turning, breathing, sighing and snoring echoed throughout the suite all night long. We were also able to clearly discern the conversations of the couple in the adjoining suite, and could only assume they heard ours. The downstairs toilet plugged up, and despite Lesa's many efforts, remained clogged and unusable throughout our stay. Lesa went above and beyond what should have been required of her to address the numerous problems we encountered, but they were clearly beyond her ability to cope with and were not her fault. I did speak with one of the inn keepers, Bruce, after our stay and explained our dissatisfaction and requested at least a partial refund of our $600+ payment. He sent us $150. Needless to say, we will not be recommending Prairie Creek Inn to anyone. (My girlfriends and I have agreed to send our $150 refund to Lesa as a "tip.")
