A Private Sanctuary
Managed by RLH Creative Agency
The Outdoor Studio at
Double Joe’s Ranch
RLH Creative Agency is pleased to offer exclusive access to its Outdoor Studio, a premier utility site licensed from the historic Double Joe’s Ranch estate. Located in the quiet heart of the Indiana countryside—just 30 minutes southwest of Fort Wayne’s shopping districts and 15 minutes from Bluffton, Decatur, and Ossian—this site offers the ultimate in wooded privacy and natural beauty.
Originally established by the Hoffman family over 40 years ago, the current owners invested in the estate a decade ago, establishing Double Joe’s Ranch in 2023. What began as a retired horse sanctuary has evolved into a private "state park" experience. Guests are invited to enjoy a backyard sanctuary teeming with wildlife, bird watching, and unparalleled stargazing.
The Pilot Program
This offering is currently part of an exclusive Market Research Pilot Program. As one of the first non-family guests to enjoy the grounds, participants provide valuable feedback that will help shape the future of this permanent offer.
The Experience
Nestled next to the property owners' dwelling, the site is designed for campervans or trailers under 50 feet. At night, the area is transformed by a well-lit path leading to a private firepit with outdoor seating and a generous supply of firewood.
Site Features & Amenities
The studio is situated on a 1.5-acre combined yard and pasture,
featuring partial woods for optimal shade and a gravel surface.

Meet the Stewards of the Estate
The history of this land is deeply intertwined with the story of the Hoffman Family. This homestead was established by the Hoffmans over 40 years ago, serving as a cornerstone of family heritage and rural preservation. A decade ago, Rebecca and her husband, Nick, invested in the estate to carry that legacy forward, blending their professional creative work with their passion for the land.
As the founders of RLH Creative Agency, the Hoffmans conduct their digital firm from the property on occasion, treating the quiet woods and open pastures as an extension of their studio. Their commitment to the property is rooted in a "stewardship-first" philosophy—ensuring that every guest, whether human or equine, experiences the same sanctuary that has blessed their family for generations.
The Heart of the Ranch
In 2023, the family officially established Double Joe’s Ranch. The mission was born out of love: providing a dignified and comfortable "retirement" for a life-long equine friend of 30 years, Joe. Today, while the ranch continues to evolve as a sanctuary for memories, nature, and wildlife, the Hoffmans remain dedicated to maintaining this "private state park" as a place of peace and creative inspiration.
Explore the Full Mission
While the Outdoor Studio is a creative initiative of RLH Creative Agency, the soul of the property lives within the ranch. We invite you to learn more about our horses, our history, and the vision behind our equine sanctuary.
