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.

This photo are camping here at SCA, playing music,making dinner,keeping warm by the fire and just talking over a cup of hot something..

Literally the perfect place to pitch a tent! I chose the most secluded area!

I am so in love with the amount of colors in the brush, its such a beautiful wildlife refuge!

The owner came out to take some images also, really a great creative person.

Just some of the beautiful plants in this refuge, a lot of birds in here but they are all camouflaged! 

When I showed up to my campsite, literally a perfect place to pitch a tent. open for a large tent.

I just couldn't help but notice the leaves falling.

The Mowed paths, theres a decent amount of walking you can do on this property.

Short drive up the hill, YOU HAVE ARRIVED!
Here at StarCountryAcres.

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!

Sea of Green Campsite

Learn more about this land:

If you are here in the spring through fall, you can expect a "sea of green". We are surrounded by corn, soybeans or some other mid-west crop. It's quiet out here, so enjoy the sunshine. We put out a large garden each year and we'd love your help.

Right now, we can only offer primitive camping. Our electric is not operational. 

If there has been a lot of rain (April and part of May), then the ground is too soft for camping. However, if you just need a spot we have some gravel driveways where you can set up. 

There are lots of places to visit while you are here. Two large lakes with free public access are about 40 miles away - Lake Loramie and Grand Lake St. Marys. Lake Loramie has a public beach, bicycle rentals, canoes and kayaks. There is a great restaurant across from the State Park.
