Songbird Prairie I’m not a huge fan of Bed & Breakfasts. I know, I know…that’s romantic sacrilege. But, most of my travel is for business, and I don’t find the culture of many B&Bs to match up with my needs when on the road. So, the times I’ll recommend one will be few and far between. Like…ummm, once.

OK…you can make that twice. Songbird Prairie B&B, just outside of Valparaiso IN is an absolute delight. Luxurious accommodations, scrumptuous 3-course breakfast and a rural setting that lives up to its name. Especially because hosts Barbara and Efrain have positioned microphones outside the dining porch to amplify the songbirds that surround the property during your time downstairs.

Songbird Prairie also has one of the best B&B websites I’ve ever seen, combining video, photography and compelling copywriting. It’s something that so few B&Bs get right.
Next time you’re in the Chicago/Northwest Indiana region, treat yourself.
