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.

The Riding Stable and Resort

When we bought this property 5 years ago, it was a little run down. Many years ago, it housed sheep and cows. We revamped our little 15-acre farm and continue to improve its looks. Now it is our home and houses my riding stable. Many people have commented on how nice it is. I thought this would be a great opportunity to share its beauty and the animals with others.Learn more about this land:We have 6 spots to pitch a tent, but we're pretty flexible so if you see another area, please ask!.  Site 10 is most secluded.   The others are around our grassy barnyard area where you're able toenjoy all of our different animals!. All sites are 2-5 mins from the main house. You will be staying at our horse farm. We have many chickens, 2 bunnies, potbelly pigs, feeder pigs (depending on the time of year),  and our 3 house dogs. We offer overnight equine amenities as well. You can enjoy a small fire (weather dependent) or listen to the crickets and frogs under the starry night. Actually, you can do it all. We offer rides on the horses as well, (extra charges). You can even book a trip to the state park to ride the horse trails, which is only 15 minutes away. There is a great fishing lake 1 mile from the farm, so bring your poles & kayaks. There is a Dollar General, 2 gas stations, and a liquor store in our tiny little town if you forget anything.

The sign you will see by the road, turn in and park!

This is a nice shaded area where we offer spots.  Plenty of room for multiple tents without crowding.  Horses are in this field during the spring summer and fall from approximately 8 am to 9 PM EST.  The storms here recently have created some changes. 

Behind this horse, in the wooded area, are more spots to camp.

We camped right next to the fire ring & the barns, but there are additional areas to set up around the farm including a wooded area

1/3 of the horses. The horses were divided into three areas around the farm.

Mirror Lake Private Property

You talk about social distancing Mirror Lake  is the place for you.  All of the Mirror Lake properties are private. There is 175 acres here at mirror lake and the lake is approximately 12 acres. With Amish farms and families all around.  The Mirror Lake Bunkhouse has all amenities. You are welcome to cook over an open fire, use the grill or the small kitchen accessories provided. don’t forget the option is always available to go out to dinner with a restaurant only 4 miles away. Although we are located in the middle of the country. You can wake up to beautiful sunrises or take in breath taking sunset in the evening.  The lake is a private lake owned by three property owners. Our Cabin # 2  “Old Phil”  Is located on the west side of the lake in a 15 acre woods. About 1-1/2 miles away is Our cabin # 1 “Little Elk” Is located near the little Elkhart River. 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.

Both sofa sleepers convert to queen size RV sleepers

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