We live on 3 1/2 wooded acres surrounded by much larger undeveloped property on two sides. In spite of the fact that we seem to be isolated we are within 10 to 15 minutes of almost anything you would want like Home Depot, supermarkets, auto supply stores, Walmart etc. The property also contains an Airbnb rental with a variety of amenities that are available to our paying guests. We are providing a quiet space facing the woods with a 30 amp electric hook up and a hose to fill your tank. If you are traveling with a dog that does not get along with other dogs this is not a good fit. Our super-friendly pup wants to play! If you need to reach me my number is 203-644-5124 Suggested Local Attractions:There’s a lot to do here, including our own private hiking trail. There are many restaurants and other attractions. Because we are also Airbnb hosts we have a website which contains a lot of information about local attractions. The website is “ourcountryproperty.com”

House Rules
We want our guest to be quiet and respectful. You can smoke next to your RV but no other place. Children are welcome. We have a very active puppy who will probably greet you enthusiastically. If you don’t like dogs you won’t like it here! While we don’t expect you to be gone first thing in the morning, please don’t overstay your welcome. If you have a dog he/she must be friendly and you will need to show a Rabies certificate
Location
Access Road Conditions: We have a 500 foot long Blacktop driveway that is just wide enough for a motorhome. There is enough space at the bottom of the driveway to park a guest motorhome as well as our own Phoenix 31. I regularly drive our Phoenix up and down and can turn it around in the driveway. My previous rig was a 40 foot bluebird which came down the driveway but Had to be backed out because it was too large to turn around. There are no overhanging trees that would get in the way. If you want to hook up to our 30amp you will need an extension to your shore power cord. We do not allow generators. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: We can only accommodate a motorhome and a toad. No trailers or fifth wheels. They cannot be turned around in our space.

Birdland was a great place for a quiet, restful night. I requested late and got a prompt approval. Getting there was a little awkward but directions were excellent. Highly recommend.

This Host was very accomodating, which in this particular case was exactly what we needed, as we really did not know the area at all. His comments about access are important to note but caused us no issue with our sized unit. Many thanks for a quiet night. We had a very good rest.

Spent 3 days here while doing my remote teaching. Rested well in the quiet nights, had a good hike in the woods, nice conversations with Gabe and even got in some nice puppy love. I hope to be back...
