Too many nice things to say about this host. Not only did they spend time with me and give me plenty of travel guidance, they also offered some rv tips for a new driver like myself.

Nancy and Phil were very welcoming and friendly. The parking spot was flat and easily accessible. There was plenty of room to walk our handicapped dog in his wheels. They readily accommodated our late request. it was so much more pleasant than the truck stops. Thank you!
