Our Story: A Dream Come True
Hi!! We’re Carl and Mikell Owens—a busy couple, proud parents of three college students, and a handful of lovable furry critters. As a business professional and school teacher, we often found ourselves yearning for a place to escape the fast-paced city life, a space where our family could reconnect with one another and nature. You know, unplug and recharge, so to speak.
When we stumbled upon this property that would become The Lodges at Fossil Creek, we saw more than just land; we saw a unique opportunity to create a meaningful retreat—a sanctuary where our family could bond, grow, and make memories in the beauty of the outdoors.
What began as a dream has now become a reality, and we are proud to share our cherished escape with others. At Fossil Creek, we’ve created a space for you to find peace, connection, and joy. Whether you’re here to relax, explore, or simply enjoy the tranquility of nature, we hope that your time with us will offer the same sense of renewal and fulfillment that it brings to our family every day.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a serene retreat where families and individuals can disconnect from the hustle of daily life and reconnect with nature and each other. We aim to offer a space that fosters relaxation, adventure, and meaningful memories, all while preserving the natural beauty of Fossil Creek.
