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!

A good look at what the campsite has to offer

The inside of the watch tower, which I believe is also rentable!

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!

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
