About Fortenstien

The name La Chalet Fortenstien comes from inspirations of European castles, villas, chalets & sites of Asia combined. Lisa having never been exposed to rural American life felt we needed to build a fort being this far removed from the city & surrounded by wildlife. This drove ideas from early American forts. Planning started about 2015 & we were able to break ground 2017. After preparing land & contracts construction started only to be halted by COVID. This delayed us at every stage. With time It all work out & today we offer our lower floor to guests.

Planning was based on many lessons learned from rural living. We strive to have any needed modern necessities needed for a comfortable stay. Your patio area is fenced as to keep critters at bay also. Any given day or night brings a selection of raccoons, deer, squirell, rabbits, turkey, wild geese, many kinds of wild flying fowl & many more species to many to list. You can always observe some type wildlife but you are at their mercy for showing themselves. Those not wanting to get out & close to wildlife can still observe from safety of their room on our many security & wildlife cams.

We have a well stocked pond teaming with wildlife. A base of turtles, frog & fish awaits. If staying with us you DO NOT NEED AN OHIO FISHING LICENSE. Bring your own fishing gear.

In addition we offer primitive camping at or near our pond & want those interested to enjoy same American rural pleasures I enjoyed growing up. You can gig a frog, catch a fish then cook your dinner by a campfire or in your fully furnished kitchen.

We are just minutes from Crown City Wildlife area. Click here for more info ---> Crown City Wildlife Area
