The driveway and site are clear of low hanging branches. Our only water supply is a shallow dug well, no city water here. Upon request we can only offer to fill 4-5 water jugs if you do not mind drinking well water until you can fill up. We have lots of wood to burn; it's illegal to bring firewood into NH. No problem with turn around areas or toads. Security Cameras on the premises. We do not have cable or intern to offer, we stream off of our phones. VERIZON works best in these parts, however we still use a WeBoost. FALL ALERT: For those staying with us during leaf peeping season, our 70-90 foot red oaks love to grow huge acorns and during Sept/Oct tons of them are released day and night, so we will position you away from the fire pit, unless you don't mind them landing on your roof.

House Rules
Our House Rules are the basics of being a good Guest and showing common courtesy. Most of our Guests have that, but some have given us reason to list them. We host for altruistic reasons, offering a safe haven to travelers! We are also emergency situations Hosts in the FMCA and Escapees Directory. We have hosted many and are more than happy to share our property with you, for free we might add. It is plain and simple WE pay the mortgage. We have to trust you are who you say you are! If your profile has no personal information of who you are, no references, and not at least 1 photo of you and your rig, your request will be denied. If a Newbie with no references, our advise is prepare a good Bio profile, or give us a good introduction in your request. During your stay we are happy to help with you any way we can, but also just as happy let you do your own thing, so just give us a head's up. ===================================================================================(1) DO NOT request a stay between 9pm and 7am EST, because your text request is received by hosts instantaneously. *We only leave our cell phones on for emergencies between 9pm and 7 am.* ===================================================================================(2) By requesting a stay with us, Guests assume all liability for their party, pets, equipment and vehicles while enroute to and from and while on our property. ===================================================================================(3) Update all of your stats before making requests. Many times people have arrived in a different rig and on occasion with children and 1 or more pets than what they stated in their profile. ===================================================================================(4) COVID-19: We have health issues and have had every shot.

Invitations or plans to get together with family and/or friends should be made elsewhere, NOT here at Able Acres for insurance purposes. ===================================================================================(7) Dogs: We are dog owners with parameters! Dogs are welcomed ONLY IF they are not hostile to people or other dogs, and only if they are ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES when WITH YOU outside of your rig. We have recently heard a horror story from another host where a guest's dogs tied outside slipped out of their collar while guests were inside and it killed the hosts' pet. Please do NOT leave your dog tied outside while you are in your rig, OR unleashed with you, porcupine, black bear, bobcat, mountain lions, deer and turkey live here. If your dog bites a person or another dog, we are compelled to call Animal Control. If your dog(s) are prolific barkers, don’t leave them/it alone in your rig and go off for the day. If you need to exercise your dog(s), our road is not heavily trafficked to walk them and there is a dog park nearby. Wolfeboro has a 6' leash law but our neighbors' dogs don’t know that, and we don’t encourage their visits here. ===================================================================================(8) Because of the wildlife listed in (7) please don’t leave any food outside of your rig or vehicle.

Lifetime New Englanders. Hearty retirees with a love and respect for Nature! Details: Summertime is busy with our small vegetable and flower garden, and cutting, splitting and stacking firewood to carry us through the winter months. We love everything outdoors: National, State, all Parks in general, mountains, rivers, deserts, rail trails, everything about this country; RV travel, a beautiful sunrise/sunset, good food, good conversations, and good people. We used our stimulus checks in 2021 to buy Lectric XP bikes, they fold, we pack them in tubs and they travel with us in our tow. Now we look for rail trails suitable to trailer our Australian Labradoodle wherever we go; he loves being with us and riding in his “chariot.” We are Escapees and FMCA members/hosts, also Good Sam, Passport America, and Harvest Hosts Members (all in 2015). We have extensively traveled independently, starting with a tent, a truck camper, van, tent trailer, travel trailer, and together in timeshares, then motorcycle trips, and in 2012 we took up RVing. We loved our 44 day swing through the S and SW in 2015 and in 2016 we met so many extraordinary people on a Country Music tour with Fantasy Tours. Our 117 day life changing adventure in 2017 included the Alaska Your Way Tour (62 days with Fantasy Tours), round trip it took us a total of 14,000 miles. Hope to get back there soon and stay the first of July thru the end of Sept. We learned about BW in 2016 and readily joined; we have been hosting ever since. The philosophy of the BW is similar to the pioneer days in the expansion in our country when strangers stopped at a homestead for safety and rest! And if you haven’t picked up on it yet the bonus of being a member of BW is not only do you have a safe haven to park, but that with every visit whether a host or a guest it is a learning experience, something you'll never find in any campground or park, so needless to say our preference is BW! We enjoy interacting with people with different perspectives, they open our eyes to new way of seeing the world; and we have met some incredible people, became friends with folks whose paths we never would have crossed if not for BW! We are planning on many more years of RVing and being a Boondockers Welcome Host as long as we are located here. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Anywhere and everywhere far away from cities! Skills or Expertise to Share: One of us has completed a Small Engine Course. The other plans trips.

We had a short but very sweet stay at Able Acres. Amy and Lindsay were incredibly welcoming when we arrived. It was our first time winter camping with our 3 dogs and they couldn’t have been more accommodating. They offered multiple spots for parking and provided electricity. They also explained the locale and current activities going on in the area. Hopefully we will be able to visit again once the temperatures get above 20*(F)

Lindsey and Amy were the best hosts. Their BW page has all of the info you need to access their lovely location. We had no trouble getting into the spot and had everything we needed (and these hosts were more than accommodating for us). They have the most lovely walking path our pup enjoyed multiple times per day. We were working so we didn't get a chance to chat much but enjoyed each conversation we had. We will definitely make our way back for another stay at another time! Thank you again so much for everything!

Lindsey and Amy were great! We loved getting to know them and their property is absolutely gorgeous — especially in the fall. When we got in, they gave us several binders of things to do in the area and we took some time to explore, hit the local museum, and even go on a few hikes. Such a wonderful stay!

We've been hosts for 1 1/2 years and Able Acres was our 1st experience being a guest. We stayed 4 nights and couldn't have had chosen better hosts. Lindsey & Amy were extremely accommodating, helpful and gracious, the consummate hosts! Excellent communication throughout the reservation process and our entire stay. They provided a binder full of information on the multitude of things to do and see in the area. Their site is level, quiet and beautiful. We highly recommend staying with them, hope to visit again and would love for them to come visit us someday!
