Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres
This was the most wonderful, relaxing, intimate, whimsical, connecting place to stay. My partner and I stayed in one of the huts and loved it. It is built with such high quality and exactly what you need for a step above camping. We toured the property and thought every campsite was absolutely perfect. The cabin and other hut looked awesome as well. The pond with a slide is wonderful. Titus was a wonderful host and ensured we were able to find everything. This is a well thought out place to stay with trash, recycling and a shower. I’d recommend you bring a fan to sleep with because it does get hot in the huts with the summer heat. That’s a personal preference. I’d also recommend lamps for using the restroom and when it gets dark as the huts have low string lights. Overall, we have already made places to return to the property. We LOVED the sheep, chickens, flowers, you name it. What a wonderful weekend.

11/10 would recommend. very lovely property. only downsides are its not the most secluded and the loft gets hot in the summer. host left a battery powered fan that would’ve helped some but we didn’t notice until morning. pond is treated but its got tadpoles so ive got no problem swimming in it. AWESOME water slide and diving board. lots of birds that keep the bugs in check. we got to see two young lambs and a litter of newborn kittens. property has a nice shower so bring a towel.

My family enjoyed our stay at the Firefly Nest. We are not big campers, so we needed a site that could better suit our inexperience. The Firefly Nest provided that with a roomy tent that made sleeping adventurous, yet comfortable, an inviting firepit with firewood, and a very nice step up from a campground outhouse. The development of the trail is a great plus for the site. It's a great place for some quiet time. Hopefully our next trip provides some better weather (less rain!).

Everyone should consider this site when they want some time away. Our multiple day stay was better than we imagined. The pond with water slide was perfect to cool down on the hot summer day. My family loved waking up and walking right out the front door for some morning fishing.
This location was close to town if your forgot anything and need to run to the store, but far enough away that you can back and enjoy the quiet. Every once and a while hearing the trotting horses, and the sheep and chickens dtarting the day.
The host was beyond hospitable, everything was clean on arrival and if you forget anything they probably already have it there provided.
Will stay again in the future, thanks for the great experience!!!

The best hidden camping gem in Fort Wayne!
Want to get away but not too far? Don’t feel like pitching the tent, but still want to enjoy nature? This is one of the best glamping spots we’ve experienced! Private location, private bathroom/shower, a little bit of hiking, lots of relaxing!
Tim the host was awesome to help us with our schedules and was really quick to answer our questions.
The beds are deceiving- first they feel hard, but ended up being the best sleep I’ve had away from home!
The best part- the yurt has AC!! And a really powerful fan to stay cool even in the heat of July.
We visited during a rainy time, and while the ground around the yurt was squishy it wasn’t muddy! There’s hammocks, a dog run/line, fire pit, comfy chairs, bocce ball game, and did I mention a private bathroom/shower?!?

I would 110% recommend staying on Titus’s land! When we arrived, he was ready to welcome us and show us back to where our site was. He gave us a lay of the land and let us know to message him with any needs we may have. Something that stood out about this property was how much was accessible to us. For example, having a small pond we could swim in, bags of ice and farm fresh eggs for sale, a bath house with soap and towels for anyone who is unprepared, multiple bathrooms, disposable dishes and more!! The sheep roaming around was also pretty cool.
We felt safe, had privacy, loved the scenery and overall had an amazing time. I would love to come back again.

We have been to Sheepy Acres before. Titus is an amazing host that will go as far out of his way as humanly possible. Our family had the pleasure of staying in the Fisherman's Wharf cabin which is a plenty big enough cabin for our family. Our dogs were able to run and chase the ball, say hello to the neighbor horse, and even go for a quick swim in the pond. We spent hours together fishing, with a family best catch of a huge sunfish, bluegill, & small mouth bass. Peace and quiet was all that we were hoping for! Thank you, Titus!! We can't wait to return!!
