We bought this property in 2012 and have built several buildings and forged paths throughout the 32 acres. Our road is part of the North Country Trail, a footpath stretching over 4,600 miles from Middlebury in central Vermont to Lake Sakakawea State Park in central North Dakota. While tearing down the existing house, we constructed two bedrooms in the pole barn for a quick living space. Once settled in the pole barn, we a built a small log cabin with already felled timbers from the local woods, except for the box frame which was purchased from the local Amish. Prior to building our permanent log cabin home, this small cabin was our camp site and is now being rented to people that want to relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the middle of the woods, we created a campground to be enjoyed by hikers and on the North side of our property is a tree line between two fields that is a great small camper/tent camping spot.

Harrison Lake State Park is the place to get out and explore! Set amongst fields of corn and soybeans, the park is a green and lush oasis that hikers will love as you explore the forest and fields. Got a hankering for some fish? Cast a line from the shore or rent a boat close to the campgrounds for some pike and bass fishing. On top of a swimming beach for humans, Harrison Lake also has a swimspot up for your pup, so be sure to bring them along for the fun. Sledding and snowshoeing are ultra peaceful in the winter and did we mention the park offers Pancake Breakfasts’? Ya, pancakes. And syrup. Totally rad.

Weekend Trip to Sheepy Acres

The cabin was perfect and better than we remember when we stayed last year! Titus was kind enough to start the fire for us since we were arriving late. Very comfortable stay for us and our cats. You get an incredible view of the stars when it’s a clear night and the sound of the water trickling in the pond was soothing.

We loved staying here. It was peaceful and quiet, and the views were amazing. Cabin is just as pictured. Debbie and Larry were gracious hosts. Fishing was good - we used one of their boats. I hope to be back again.

The log cabin was ideal for the two of us, comfortable and cozy for reading, sleeping, tending the fire, enjoying birdsong and stargazing. We also appreciated proximity to the beautiful Lost Nations trails.

We stayed in the cabin and it was well supplied and they really thought of everything. It was a nice break from our normal tent camping. They even had hand washing stations and the shower was nice after a long weekend of hiking. The kids loved the pond and wanted to stay there most the time. Definitely would go back if we are in the area! Thanks for the awesome stay!

This is a cozy little log cabin next to the sweetest little pond you’ve ever seen! Titus was great at communicating online as well as in person. He made notes and signs that helped take the guesswork out of many things. It was super helpful. I love that firewood was provided and cut into manageable pieces. This place was very peaceful and just what I needed!

I loved it all! Absolutely beautiful location! We all had such a great time relaxing, fishing, adventuring down the trail, sitting by the campfire, and just being able to enjoying the peace and tranquility of country living. The hosts were friendly, informative, and accommodating, as well respectful. The cabin offered just about anything you could think of that you'd need for a comfortable stay. They had little notes of instructions written all around the property to help point you in the right direction or to show you how different things work around the camp site. My dog was in complete heaven basking in the sun and swimming in the pond just to be free to roam as she may. We are definitely planning on returning to enjoy the cabin and the pond some time again real soon. We also plan on making a weekend reservation to stay in one of the shepherds huts before the season ends!

My Husband and I had a quick getaway to celebrate his birthday away from the kiddos. Honestly we loved it! Titus really pays attention to all details! We are so excited to take our girls back so they can experience the cute sheep and all the nature. We loved being in the midst of all of the Amish families that were surrounding Titus's families property! I can see this being a trip we make atleast once a year! Thank you to Titus and his family for being so great! 🥰

So peaceful! Titus was a kind and welcoming host who bent over backwards to make sure I had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. I enjoyed our chats on a variety of topics. The cabin is cozy, with more amenities than expected (like a mini-fridge and toilet...I'm used to more primitive camping). Just sitting on the porch listening to the birds, trickle of the small pond, and occasional clip-clop of the occasional neighbor's horse and buggy, was so relaxing, Visited by a friendly cat, and the sheep are adorable. Would stay again.

Not my 1st review of this place! In all honesty, I wish I could write whatever would keep people away from here! I WANT THIS PLACE TO MYSELF!!!! I'll just highlight...cause description dosen't do justice. Electric cabin, shower house w/indoor restroom now. Pond for swimming/fishing. Trails to walk. Peaceful. Views...fresh air!! Come explore!! Every time we go (wife & dogs also) there's something different, or improved. This man makes me want to live off grid even more than I already do! Beautiful location. If your looking to unplug/ relax/ breath... stop looking...and book!

What amazing experience! My wife and I went out there for an anniversary and had an amazing time! Swimming in the pond, roasting hot dogs, and just being in nature was great! Being able to have our dog off leash, what's an added bonus. He loved every minute of his stay. We will definitely be back!
