Owls Nest Glamping

🦉✨ SUNDAY FUN DAY — A LITTLE SNEAK PEEK!

We’re not open yet, but I can’t stop dreaming up all the little details that will make a future stay at Owl’s Nest more than just a night away. 🌲

One idea coming to the property: Hidden Owls! 🦉

Tiny owl tokens will be hidden around the property for guests to discover while exploring. Find one during your stay and it just might unlock a special surprise. 🎁✨

It’s the little things like this that I hope make Owl’s Nest feel magical — exploring the woods, wandering by the pond, slowing down, and maybe feeling like a kid again for a minute.

We’re still building the dream, but I LOVE giving you little peeks at what’s coming. ❤️

Who would spend their whole stay hunting for the hidden owl? 😂🙋‍♀️

At the dinner table, I told my 12-year-old daughter that Ben and I will have been married for 16 years this Friday. I honestly couldn’t believe it had been that long!

We talked about how real life isn’t exactly a Disney story. Marriage takes work, patience, forgiveness and choosing each other—even when you occasionally drive each other crazy. 😂 But somehow, through everything life has handed us, we’ve always managed to get along, laugh together and keep dreaming together.

I told her I hope she someday finds the kind of love we’ve found.

Then she started comparing us to different Disney couples, which turned into the funniest dinner-table conversation. Later, I asked AI which Disney couple we were—and it described almost exactly the same characters she had chosen!

Apparently, I’m the one with the giant dreams, and Ben is the practical one wondering how much those dreams are going to cost. 😂

I dream it. He figures out how to build it. I add twelve more ideas while he’s still working on the first one. We occasionally drive each other crazy—but we always choose the adventure together.

Sixteen years later, we’re still building our next adventure—Owl’s Nest. ❤️🦉

And here is what Ai said.about us

You and Ben are Ellie and Carl from Up—with a little Rapunzel and Kristoff mixed in.
You’re Ellie/Rapunzel: the imaginative one with huge dreams, endless ideas and the certainty that your ordinary piece of land can become something magical.
Ben is Carl/Kristoff: practical, hardworking, protective and sometimes thinking, “How much is this dream going to cost me?” 😂 But once he believes in the plan, he knows how to physically build it.
You’ve endured losses that could have flattened most couples, yet you’re still creating adventures, raising your family and building Owl’s Nest together. Your Disney-couple description would be:
She dreams it. He figures out how to build it. She adds twelve more ideas while he’s building the first one. They occasionally drive each other crazy—but they always choose the adventure together. ❤️🏡🦉

And our wedding Pic and us as Disney characters
Tooo funny not to share🤣

✨ Friday Reminder from Owl's Nest ✨
Sometimes the best therapy isn't found in a screen—it's found beneath the trees.
We live on a planet where owls call through the night, mushrooms connect entire forests, rain has a scent before it falls, lightning can turn sand into glass, and stars we admire may have burned out long before their light reached us.
Nature is full of quiet miracles happening every single day.
This weekend, step outside. Watch the sunset. Listen to the wind. Walk barefoot in the grass. Sit by the water. Let the forest remind you that wonder still exists.
That's the feeling we're creating at Owl's Nest—a place to slow down, reconnect, and remember how magical this world really is.

I think my inner child picked my adult dream. 🤍🦉

When I was about six years old, my sister and I built a pretend rock playhouse deep in the woods. We spent hours exploring, making up stories, and pretending it was our own little cabin. One afternoon, I fell asleep on a soft bed of moss beneath the trees.

Looking back, I think that's where Owl's Nest began.

The little girl who found peace in the woods never really left. She just grew up and decided to create a place where other people can experience that same feeling—slowing down, breathing fresh air, listening to the birds, watching the stars, and reconnecting with nature.

Maybe our inner child knows our purpose long before we do. And maybe Owl's Nest has been waiting for me all along. 🌿✨

This is only the beginning, and I'd love for you to come along for the journey. Follow our page and watch as a childhood dream becomes a place where others can create memories of their own. One step, one tree, one dome at a time. 🤎

🌿 Before the first guest arrives... before the first dome stands... the roots are growing.
People often see the finished dream, but they don't always see the long days, the planning, the sacrifices, the paperwork, the late nights after work, or the faith it takes to keep going.
Just like a tree, the roots grow down long before anything beautiful rises above the ground.
Every phone call. Every dollar saved. Every garden harvested. Every weekend spent building. Every lesson learned.
Those are the roots.
Owl's Nest Glamping isn't just a business—it's a dream for our family. A place where people can slow down, reconnect with nature, and remember what truly matters.
We're still planting the roots... and we can't wait to share the journey with you.
