Marathon ont

Terry and Joan are great hosts and we really enjoyed our stay

It was so great to have a place to stay in Marathon. At this time of the year, it was difficult to find a place to stay when you are driving through northern ontario. The house was easy to find and it was easy to park our RV in the driveway. We did not have a chance to meet the owners but the neighbors came by to make sure we were Ok. There was also very nice biking trails nearby. The owner was also very nice to have 30 Amp electric available for us to use. Thank you so much!!!

This was our first Boondockers Welcome stay. I'm pretty sure it's an experience that will be hard to match. Terry was away so Joan was the "hostess with the mostest". She offered electric, water. shower and laundry. We didn't need any of it but also sure didn't expect such generous offers. We were drawn to this host because we suspected she was a Newfoundlander. We were in Newfoundland for a month this summer and were charmed by so many of the people we met there. Joan is a Newfie and we enjoyed chatting with her when she got home from serving at the Legion. While chatting she showed us photos of the many quilts she has made. I have friends who also do quilting so she invited us inside the next morning to see her machines and quilts. Wow! But the other over the top thing that happened was giving me a pattern for a quilting technique for my quilting friend who could use some cheering up. I I guess I should add that it is a quiet location in their driveway.

We were warmly greeted by Joan upon our arrival. She had leveling blocks available and got us hooked up to their 30amp service. She also very kindly offered laundry and a shower. How generous! Sadly it was a rainy night so we didn't have the opportunity to sit out and visit. Terry stopped by on his way out in the morning to bid us farewell. We offered to pay for the electrical hookup but he refused. We would definitely recommend staying with these kind and generous hosts. Thanks again!
