We have owned this farm for the past 20 years, it consists of farm land, pasture and some wooded areas. Lots of wildlife around, and few lights to distract from the stars at night! We are close to several small Ohio towns, including Indian Lake. Plenty of eating and shopping options within minutes.

Shady Owl Ranch is a 18 acre non-profit animal sanctuary with dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and turkeys. The cats and poultry are free range so if you are fearful of chickens, ducks or turkeys, you probably shouldn't stay here. 😁 Owners Chuck and Amanda moved from Northern California and re-established their rescue here in Central Ohio. We have two finished studio cabins. They are very close (2 miles) to the town of Mount Vernon, OH with hiking trails on the property. Pets are allowed but there are free range animals on the property so their safety is priority. We have added a 2 acre fenced in area for dogs off leash. It's our version of a Dog Park. Plenty of bike trails around town and only 20 miles to Mohican State Park. Farm fresh eggs from our rescued chickens and local honey are available for purchase. Money from our vacation rental helps with feeding our rescue animals and expanding our non-profit animal sanctuary.

Madden Farm has been in the Madden family and its descendants for seven generations. The original farmhouse on Madden Farm dates back to the 1860s. In 1980, a second dwelling was added to the property when a cabin on a nearby farm was moved across the fields and placed near Madden Pond. In recent years, the family has endeavored to be good stewards of the land by planting trees, growing fruits and vegetables while incorporating sustainable practices. Also of interest, since 2014, family members from Madden Farm have hosted the Madden Road Music Fest, a one-day music festival held annually on the second Saturday in August. Our camping sites are secluded, offering a variety of shade and sunshine. Each site has a picnic table and fire pit. Connected to the sites, we have walking trails that meander through woods where you'll see a variety of trees and wildflowers. Our community area is centrally located with a fire pit, picnic tables, and an open area for group gatherings. The toilet and sink for hand washing are in this area. While at Madden Farm, you can relax under the trees in Sweet Gum Hammock Grove, witness spectacular sunsets and star-filled night skies like no other, and enjoy the beauty and serenity of Ohio farmland. If you enjoy fishing, bring your pole and gear to fish (catch and release) from the banks of Madden Pond. The family is excited to share this special place with others and is committed to preserving this land for generations to come.

Sweet Glum Glade is a great, secluded spot in the woods, but also close enough to a bathroom and hand washing sink - which is ideal when your kids get covered in s’mores! We watched the sunset over the field across from our camp and slept outside underneath the stars. Highly recommended!

Madden Farm is a peaceful slice of Heaven on Earth. It’s full of charm and whimsy. Large sites surrounded by mature trees. Cute, rustic sink next to the toilet to wash your hands. Forgot a mug? No problem, grab one from the mug tree! Would highly recommend this private peaceful property.

Love this place. So quiet but close to many activities in the area. The cabin is so adorable and the hosts are wonderful people. So nice that they established this rescue for animals with their property. Their farm fresh eggs they offer are so good. Definitely will plan a trip or 2 back. More to explore. Thank you Chuck and Amanda for sharing

Our campsite at Madden Farm was very well kept, quiet and beautiful. Our two young kids really loved looking at the chickens and playing with the dogs and kitten. We really enjoyed sitting at our campfire and listening to nothing but crickets. We plan to come back. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!

Beautiful surroundings, very private, very polite. I will definitely receive to friends.

You will likely come off 739 onto our road. You will turn left into our driveway (Yellow). Then make a U-Turn (Blue) into the gravel lane that will set you up the easily back into either Site 1 or Site 2. The red dot is the location of 30 AMP Electric.

The cabin was perfect! Highly recommend it. The host did a great job with the place. Gives a good detailed layout of the property and places to visit in a book. Also fun with all the different animals on the property the host owns.

Host/hostess are very helpful and nice. I recommend you read pre-arrival instructions before arriving. If it’s going to be dark when you’re arriving, make sure you have a big flashlight to use when you’re going to the cabin. The stovetop is manually lit without the “clicking” of a pilot. I suggest putting the burner on low. The surrounding area has a full service grocery store and a few fast and fast casual restaurants within 2 miles. Finally, beware of the free range Turkey. They will lounge behind your vehicle and will not leave. We just drove around them to get out. Overall, we enjoyed the quiet and peaceful setting of the cabin. We would definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a good retreat or recharge trip. The honey and eggs were delicious and worth adding to the trip. The unlimited firewood would be great for a longer stay, but wasn’t valuable for what was a little more than one night stay because of our last minute trip.

5⭐️ Review Easy to find, they even have a hand drawn out map for you to follow and you can see what the whole farm has to offer, from a community hangout area to hammocks and walking trails. I road my motorcycle and the terrain was safe enough to ride on. My camp spot was private, secluded and felt far enough away from everything without having to go to far. There’s a local Kroger within roughly 10min away for all your drink and food supplies. The whole place is just perfect for a nice get away, you can tell the people take care of it and took time to lay it out right.

My family had a great time camper camping at Fancy Farm Wife Mercantile. We loved the goats that came out to say hello in the evenings while we enjoyed the campfire. We were able to say hi to some beautiful cows as well! Plus the chickens just pecking around being funny. We took some walks and bike rides down the pretty country road. The hosts were helpful and friendly.
