Weekend Trip to River Camp Fort Wayne

We had such a great time camping and using their little cabin that has just about everything you would need to camp! Not only has a queen bed but also a twin bed for your kid's our two boys fit in it( 6 and 9 years old). My personal favorite is they think of all the stuff for your family to be comfortable! Their property is beautiful and my kids love playing in the river!!

Weekend Trip to River Camp Fort Wayne

The cabin is amazing. They have added a driveway to the cabin with a parking spot next to it. It is spacious, with a wood burning stove, electric, and water. There is a tv, dvd player, queen bed, twin bed, and a futon couch. The best part is the hosts are amazing.

Weekend Trip to Little Turkey Ranch Lake Home

Such a cute A-frame with the best view next to a lake and perfectly quiet atmosphere. Spent a long weekend here and loved the days spent exploring the area and nights sitting around the fire. Would highly recommend coming here for a visit. The host and property were amazing!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

We really appreciated Titus going out of his way to meet us and show us around his property. Originally we were going to tent camp, but he offered us his cabin because it was cold and we arrived late. The cabin was a great addition to the trip. There were animals, but we only met the kitties who were all very friendly. We'll definitely be back and would recommend staying at Sheepy Acres to anyone. Titus was a great host!

1 night at Sheepy Acres

It was a lovely stay at the cabin! Since we arrived late in the dark, Titus was kind enough to meet us on the road to make sure we knew where we were going and then showed us where everything was located. The kittens were absolutely precious! There was firewood ready to light up for the night and a gallon of water to get us through the night. We would definitely visit Sheepy Acres again!

2 nights at Sheepy Acres

Titus had so much more than we expected, and we highly recommend. During our stay he had hot water heater in the outdoor shower, electrical outlet and fridge in the cabin along with indoor fireplace, and free firewood. It was too cold to go swimming so we enjoyed a little fishing while our dog ran around the property and played with the kitties. He was super helpful and accommodating when our trip took longer than excepted and we arrived later in the night. We definitely want to come back again. Thank you Titus!

Weekend Trip to Country Bungalow

Dean and Nancy have created a truly magical little space! We travelled almost two hours to spend the night there, and go to the dairy, which is about 20 seconds away! The tiny shed exceeded our expectations in every way, as the vibe was amazingly cozy and warm. Christmas decor was so beautiful and we loved looking at all the little details around the space. She is an amazing baker, to boot! Fresh cookies, coffee, creamer, and waters awaited us. We will for sure be back!
