The Prairie Gardens Inn

Why Choose The Prairie Gardens Inn
We are a family business and we really take pride in the work we do here. We have over 24 beautiful acres of property and love being able to share the venue and bed & breakfast with others. It’s gorgeous and serene out here and it makes events feel really special when guests add their personal touches. We live on the property (that’s how much we love it!) and are here for our guests every step of the way” – Kaylee Nungesser, owner

Location: 1138 N River Rd, Mulvane, KS 67110
