3 nights at The Firefly Nest

This was our 2nd stay and we enjoyed it once again. We loved the new upgrades since last year (trail, outdoor sink, fridge). We love how private it is and the amenities are unbeatable. We will definitely be back (hopefully soon!)

1 night at River Camp Fort Wayne

Marla was an amazing host from booking to arriving at location. She helped to upgrade me to the cabin as I wasn’t sure of the weather, then said hello & checked in w me when arriving. The cabin was a comfortable site with more than enough amenities. This was one of the most beautiful campgrounds I’ve ever been to - with wild but nurtured nature surrounding and a short walk to the river. I felt safe being there on my own. Highly recommend!

Tim is so nice and so reasonable. I have stayed at the firefly nest twice and I will go again. He is very dog friendly, and the price for this site is very affordable. The site is very cool. The shower and facilities located at the site are perfect and the yurt is very cozy.

Weekend Trip to Wandering Wonder

Our stay was perfect. Lindsay and family were fantastic hosts and feels like we made friends during our stay as we connected right away. The fifth wheel was great and provided all the room our family and pup needed during our stay. The master bed was great and didn’t feel like we were staying in a camper at all. The location is very quiet and peaceful and gave us quick access to town for our stay. If we had to come back to town for any overnight stays in the future we will be reaching out to Lindsay

We had an amazing time at the Tim’s place. Everything is well thought out, clean, private, and quiet. The ac in the yurt was excellent as it was pretty humid due to some rain in the evening during our stay. Free dry firewood, and an awesome fire pit with a grilling made dinner and breakfast cooking a breeze.

Weekend Trip to The Firefly Nest

It was a very lovely property! Very private. There was a bit of highway noise but nothing that stopped our sleep. We didn’t get to do the full trail, since it was a bit messy from the weather-nobody’s fault on that! If you’re more adventurous and have good boots maybe you could do it after a huge week of rain. The mattresses were good, and we slept fine but they are definitely more camping and less glamping mattresses. The bathroom was very nice and clean. If you have an aversion to the taste of well water, be sure to bring your own. And be careful, the hot water is EXTREMELY hot. We would definitely stay again if we’re in the area.

Weekend Trip to The Firefly Nest

My mother and I spent her 79th birthday “glamping” in the Firefly Nest, which turned out to be only 10 minutes from our house in town. It ended up being unseasonably cold with rain showers, so it was a real treat to roll in and have everything ready for us - no tent to pitch, and the firewood already split and under a roof. The rain cleared by supper time and we enjoyed the birdsong, the deer we spotted, and the rustling of leaves in this beautiful patch of woods… and the flush toilet, actual beds, and heater/fridge/lights were also quite welcome. I’ll be recommending Tim’s place for out-of-town visitors who prefer an alternative to hotels, since it’s both closer to my house and offers more privacy than any of the Fort Wayne or New Haven hotels/motels. Thanks for a delightful stay.

We booked with Dean and Nancy for New Year's and had such a lovely stay! It was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable. There is heating, hot water in the detached bath, and ample space for infant equipment and our bassinet. It was some of the prettiest lodging I've ever seen, especially all decked out in seasonal decor. 10/10, plus bonus points for the free snacks and coffee, tea and cocoa.

Weekend Trip to River Camp Fort Wayne

This was my first camping experience and I couldn't have picked a better place. The property is absolutely stunning! I can't wait to return in the summer, but I'm so glad we got to see the fall colors. Such a short walk to the river, which is just gorgeous. The cabin was perfect for us. The wood stove and water system were super easy to use and having a TV was a cherry on top! Lol. There were little touches everywhere of things that were either helpful or just plain charming. My main concern, being a first-timer was safety and that box was definitely checked. It's a perfect spot for a couple, a family with children or a group of college kids. We just left and I can't say enough. Thanks, Marla, for an amazing time!
