Country Bungalow

We bought this one acre property tucked in the corner of the woods a little more than 2 years ago from the family who built it and lived here for 69 years. It was all original since 1946! The dairy and the farmland around us has been family-owned for over 100 years! Our little acre has become a sweet little hidden secret to all who visit. Quiet and beautiful, yet close to all the quaintness Fort Wayne has to offer. The sunrises are amazing! For nature lovers, there are so many different birds that frequent our trees, even an occasional Bald Eagle! We have renovated the tiny shed into an occasional repurpose shop and now are opening it up for a comfortable glamping spot! We continue to work on renovating our home to eventually welcome more guests. We feel like God saved this sweet spot just for us, so we can't help but share it with others! We hope all who stay, feel the same!

The perfect kickoff to the autumn season!

Gallery walls filled with art and beautiful words. 

The best hosts (probably in the world)! Seriously Nancy and Dean were so sweet and really made us feel so taken care of. Loved getting to chat with them and enjoy the cozy atmosphere they created!

It doesn't get cuter or cozier than The Tiny Shed.

Loved that there was hints of fall everywhere!

When we got to the site Dean and Nancy already had a fire started for us! 

Heading down the path to get settled in The Tiny Shed.

Nestled in its own 10 acre woods. Both of these properties are primitive ( no running water in an out house for a bathroom). Firewood is provided and there are trails in the woods to walk. The Mirror lake property has been a family farm for over 185 years. There is a family cemetery that dates to 1832. If you want to be around a lot of people in the fast track this is not the place for you. If you’re looking for peace, quiet, tranquil, social distance but still enjoyed this is the place for you!

This is a view of the channel. Of course this is in the spring when we have an abundance of water. The little channel doesn’t always look like this. All depends on the water level

Just another view of the river. This is memorial day weekend. And the water is what it is high.

What you see is what you get. This is a little look around our little cabin

The larger basin of the pond, perfect for swimming, floating or just listening to the bullfrogs.  

Songdog Meadows

Home Sweet Home, tucked in the heart of agriculture and lake life, Angola is a wonderful small town in the north east corner of Indiana.  Songdog Meadows is our little piece of joy, from morning swims in the pond, long walks with our retrievers and sunsets to take your breath away, it is truly and deeply a treasure we cherish.  The property host a variety of apple trees, open grass land, and a large cluster of trees surrounding a 3/4 acre pond, while being surrounded by wood lots on three sides and open fields to the west.  It is truly a peaceful haven in a rural country area. Learn more about this land:Hang your hammock or pitch a tent just outside our 3/4 acre pond. There are two basins with a channel and a peaceful tree filled grass area between. The pond is in the corner of the 10 acre lot where we live at the end of a dirt road with only a small amount of traffic. The camp site is walk in on mowed pathways, with the driveway and parking area less than 200 yards away. There is a security light so you will never be in complete darkness. A stone fire pit and picnic table sit just off shore of the swimming area of the pond. There are several wide mowed pathways surrounded by prairie grasses, shaded by large trees. The area can easily handle several tents, hammocks and small RVs. The area is rural farm land with a handful of houses on the short dirt road. But this property is surrounded by wood lots and open fields. Two neighbors houses are visible but separated by trees. Our house is visible from the pond and camping area. 

One of the many stunning sunsets at the property.  

This path leads from the driveway and parking area to the pond and the best tent sites.  

There are mowed paths and parkways thru the area.  

There is a picnic table at the ponds edge.  Please feel free to use it during your stay.  There is also a bottle of Dr. Broner's available for you to use if you choose to bath in the pond.  

The Fun Farm

Learn more about this land:

Our location is also home to our fantasy destination, The Fun Farm.  Not only is the scenery replete with natural beauty - the pond, the fields, the sledding hill, the nature trail through the forest - but also a setting to engage the imagination! 

 Additional services may be arranged on-site.  For example, who would you like to have breakfast with?  A superhero?  A princess? Or perhaps a souvenir caricature of you and your group is in order to commemorate the experience? Maybe an experiential art, dance, drama or music lesson?  Guided tours of the grounds can also be arranged to learn more about the history of the farm and it's originality.  

If you're interested in a "day trip" or even a limited event, we have the facilities to accommodate your birthday or holiday, engage in art Classes, raise funds for your good cause or enjoy "something different" for this year's corporate party. We're also open to your ideas for a custom school, festival or carnival event. We can accommodate groups from 1 to 400 (maybe more, if we send a few enchanted creatures on vacation!)  

MORE NOTES ABOUT THE CAMPSITE: We're flexible with wherever you would like to pitch your tent, but the spots we have established are next to our cabin (where the lighting is best and the ground is flattest.) Parking is most easily found next to these sites as well (and the lighting is also excellent.)  Also, in the near vicinity, a shared firepit is readily available and can accommodate at least 12 people.

Check out the additional options (like firewood bundles) below and let us know how we can help you make great memories!

Georges Boot Barn

Our family has lived on this farm since the late 60's.  George worked in a shoe factory and brought home the shoes and boots that weren't up new standards and started selling them from an old chicken coup.  We no longer sell seconds, we sell new men's work boots here, and online.
