This property was once part of an 80 acre farm. It has now grown into a mature forest with deer, turkey, squirrels, chipmunks, many types of songbirds and most recently a family of sandhill cranes. Our most recent improvement is an air conditioner in the Crow's Nest. Sheila grew up just across the road and spent many hours riding her horse and writing poetry on the property. No discharge of firearms is allowed on this property. As a retired artist, we love to entertain creative peaceful people and many think of our place as a quiet sanctuary that encourages creativity. We provide games, both outdoor and indoor, a screen house, hammock, nature trails and a new camp store with local items and snacks. There is an Amish community close by and a tour map is provided. We are also close to the largest canopy walk in the US at Whiting Forest and Dow Gardens. Only 25 minutes away. There is a small water park in the closest town with a beach. Locally there is tubing and canoeing at the Cedar River in Gladwin and kayaking at Pinconning Park on Saginaw Bay.

It was a wonderful and peaceful overnight at The Crow's Nest and Sheila was an attentive and gracious host. Beautiful trails, deer and other wildlife in a private woods of 20 acres. Our cabin was comfortable, very cute, well stocked with necessities, and private. Had everything we needed. Highly recommend. 5 star!

Camp Wiigwaas (wigwam)
We absolutly will be back! What a great experience sleeping in a wigwam! I loved the touches Sheila made on this little piece of beautiful earth! The outhouse was the cutest. As soon as we got to camp, a group of deer ran away. We had 2 fawns approach our camp in the morning. We had to walk a bit to get back to the site, but she had a wagon available. As we were leaving, we meet the cat, violet as We talked a bit about life. Thank you so much for a little peace and quiet!
