The property offers a unique setting with well-maintained trails, abundant wildlife, and charming accommodations like the wigwam and cabin.

Great boho cabin for a rustic weekend away. Sheila and Jeff are awesome. Very unique getaway, the kind of random and one of a kind venue you hope for on this site.

The site was in a beautiful forest. Very cosy inside the wigwam. The propane burner was a great amenity as it made making breakfast easy and fast. We will definitely go back

Due to some unexpected weather changes, my reservation was moved from the wigwam to The Crow’s Nest. I did get a chance to check out the wigwam site and it was absolutely fantastic and adorable. Everything was clean, well maintained, and exactly as described.
The Crows Nest was absolutely a glamping experience for me. The cabin is fully kitted out with everything you need, I was able to just leave most of my camping gear in my car the whole weekend. The hosts are not only generous, but also kind and very helpful. They provide activities and maps for the local area and happy to make recommendations. The site is quiet and calm, plenty of wildlife for you to sit back and watch. The hiking trail on the property is well maintained and clearly marked, offering some fantastic views.
Depending on weather, bring your bug spray, but the hosts also provided a fan in the wigwam which was unexpected and super helpful for bug control! There is a little neighborhood nearby and we had some fireworks noise right after Independence Day. This was much less intrusive than in the suburbs and did not go late into the night at all. Most people were on golf carts, so not much road noise, no kids or dog noises like at public campgrounds. You really get to feel like you’re alone in the forest when the turkey and deer pop by to check for crumbs around your fire pit.

My hosts were warm, inviting, and gracious. Being a solo traveler can be scary sometimes but they made me feel right at home. Inviting me to their bonfire as well as offering to let me borrow their kayak plus a drive up the River.
I cannot say enough good things about them.
The wigwam itself was a unique experience and was very temperature controlled with a fan and comfortable beds. Be sure to bring your own pillows.
I will definitely be back and with friends next time!

From the moment we pulled in the drive until we left for home…Crows Nest was a perfect escape! Sheila and Jeff have thought of everything to create an oasis for you to enjoy! The trail around the property was a perfect morning stroll. The cabin is clean and comfortable. No musty or earthy smells at all! They have TWO full binders of activities and suggestions. They are incredibly thoughtful hosts with an adorable camp store. We can’t wait to come back again!

The location was relatively easy to find, the lit pathway is unique, and there is a wagon to transport your belongings to the cabin. Upon my arrival, I noticed the home of the owner was much closer than I anticipated in the pictures. I was happy to see in the back of the unit they had a cozy fire area and had screened off the view to their home offering privacy. When I entered the unit I was struck with the intense smell of feces. I knew there was a composting toilet (Ive stayed at other locations with a composting toilet), and thought maybe there was a problem. I investigated and saw there was not a problem and thought maybe if I opened the window and aired the place out it would improve. I had made 3 trips with the wagon and was hoping I could just settle in and the smell would dissipate. As the night went on it became very apparent that I could not sleep in the bed which was in the same area as the composting toilet and the wall heater. I briefly used the gas wall heater for 10 min to take the chill off the place and decided to sleep on the couch with my own belongings and speak with the hosts the next day. Upon waking the next morning, my chest hurt, my throat was swollen, my eyes were swollen, I was nauseous, I had a terrible headache, and felt very dizzy upon standing. I knew I had to leave. I stepped outside to get some fresh air and while sitting outside for a bit felt less dizzy. I knew then something inside made me ill.

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!

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!

We enjoyed our stay! Shiela was kind and easy to communicate with. A relaxed environment and bonfire after a day on the river made for an excellent evening, and walking the property’s woodland trail gave our morning a peaceful start. Thanks again 👌🏼

Our little family had a wonderful time here. Everything you could ever hope to need is already there. It was such a relaxing experience to just sit around the fire with my family and enjoy nature.

I absolutely love this place! The cabin is set back in a beautiful forrest and is perfect! Shelia has the cabin equip with everything you need; from activities, a microwave, to even lotion for your hands! The best part is the back yard! You have your own personal bug free tent to chill in, fire pit, picnic tables, a hammock and grill! They also have a cute “store” for souvenirs, books and food items to purchase. Shelia is the most kind, welcoming, pleasant person you would want in a host! My boys and I have been going here for the past 3 years. We always miss it when we leave!

Sheila and Jeff’s wigwam was beautiful! They take such care of their land and go the extra length to make sure you’re comfortable. I arrived after dark and really appreciated the lamp left on, and the running fan for extra comfort. The warm shower was such a lovely and welcomed thing after a long two days of travel. AND I was prepared for major bugs, but coming from Canada, the one or two mosquitos I saw felt like no problem! This is a gem of a place.

I was a bit apprehensive about booking the wigwaam but once we arrived I was super pleased! Sheila and Jeff greeted us and we're so welcoming and kind. They showed us around and chatted and made us feel comfortable and welcomed on their property. The wigwaam was much bigger on the inside than I expected, I loved laying inside on the rainy days and listening to the rain hit the roof. Just a very serene, calming experience.

This was our second time staying at The Crows Nest and it was just as magical as the first time. Sheila and Jeff have a beautiful little cabin with AC, a heater, an indoor toilet and shower, and running water. Outside they have a fire pit, corn hole, a hammock, a seating area with netting to keep bugs out, a beautiful little trail, and a creek with (at least) five different types of fish! Everything is decorated beautifully, and Sheila and Jeff are so generous, making everything you could need available to you! The wildlife is so comfortable on their property because they take wonderful care of them. This trip, we saw turkey, a doe (about 15 feet from us), a woodpecker, many frogs, chipmunks, bats (at the creek), butterflies, and their adorable cat! It is a wonderful spot with so much to see and do. I would highly recommend The Crows Nest to anyone who enjoys and respects nature and needs a peaceful spot to stay.
Also, Sheila and Jeff decorated our cabin for our anniversary which was so thoughtful! They are amazing hosts!

We loved staying in the Wigwam at Sheila’s place!
We felt so close to nature, the set up was beautiful and very convenient. Our host Shelia was very kind & sweet, she made sure our stay there was enjoyable. She accommodated and went out of her way to ensure our stay was memorable! Also loved that there was a shower and a bathroom at the site!
I would definitely recommend this place, 10/10 we will be back! ☺️

Such an amazing place! The cabin itself was great, good space, comfortable bed and a lot of appliances. The land is great too, scenery is really nice, there’s nice short trails, and we saw some deers. It also isn’t too far away from grocery stores and restaurants. The hosts were also very nice and generous. 10/10 place, would definitely tell others about it and think about booking it again!

The quiet stillness early in the morning is one of my favorite times at The Crow's Nest. It's an amazing place to unwind and not think, but still have the simple comforts of home. If you want a true oasis of peace and nature, visit The Crow's Nest. You won't be disappointed...and you will want to come back again and again. Just like me:)
