Pictures don’t do the property justice. Such an amazing private property. We loved the star gazing and exploring during the day. We 1000 percent would be honored and lucky enough to stay here again. Thanks Nance 😊

Healing through the land
This land is incredible - so powerful and healing. Be sure to catch the firefly show from the observation decks as night falls!

We really enjoyed the Lichen Pod. Nance was awesome and super nice. She showed us around the property and then left us to enjoy the peace and quiet of the campsite. The spot is pretty private and peaceful. Would definitely come back!

Magical
I can't say enough good things about staying at Nance's - there are so many details that make this a wonderful place to be. The land is truly gorgeous and a birder's paradise. The fireflies at night and the sunset over the prairie is unreal! Highly recommend both the sauna and biking the nearby Jane Addams trail, which Nance kindly recommended to us. Nance's sweet and friendly pets are also a highlight that bears mentioning.

A rare gem!
I was blown away at how beautiful it is here! There was so much to explore and see. Nance was an amazing host, taking time to make sure we had everything we need and showing us around. We loved her pets too they were a joy to meet! You can tell a lot of love and hard work goes into maintaining the land. Sunsets and sunrises were spectacular! Highly recommend staying here!
