Our Place

No smoking outside of your RV please. Children must be supervised at all times as we have a an unfenced lagoon. Local leash law is in effect for all pets outside your RV (off leash access can be allowed for exceptionaly well-trained pets but local wildlife can often be very tempting to chase). Quiet generators can be operated anytime. Noisy generators during daylight hours only. Outdoor lighting off at quiet time of 10pm. Contact host by phone before coming to the residence unless invited or other arrangements made. We do not have a fire pit but but if you have a portable one you may use it. No open outdoor fires when High Fire Hazard (Red Flag) warnings are in affect. You may shelter in the residence walk-in basement during tornado warnings. This will be discussed with you at set-up. Guest Wi-fi is passable for email, etc, but may not be sufficient for video streaming. Password will be provided to you on a guest hand-out provided at arrival. Hours for arrival and departure will be set upon request acceptance. You may have quests and one or to two guest vehicles may park in the parking area. Short-wheel-based rigs maybe able to pull in and do a u-turn depending on what vehicles are here. "Backing in" is required with longer trailers and motorhomes. "Toads" will connect and disconnect in the street and park in the parking area. NOTE: RV dumping is not listed as offered because it is inconvenient and labor intensive due to the length of hose required. Both host and guest must help but I have a 50-foot hose available if emergency dumping is absolutely necessary. We prefer you arrive with low or empty holding tanks and dump at the local "Flying J" upon departure if necessary. NOTE: The 50-amp outlet provided is WIRED AND BREAKER-PROTECTED FOR 20-AMPS ONLY per hot leg (there are two hot legs, just like a 50-amp connection). If you do not have an adapter, we can loan you one. 20 amp service will operate lights, a single A/C, small TV, and charger/converter on a single leg "IF" refrigerator and water heater are on propane and other hi-amperage appliances (microwaves, electric heaters, hair dryers, etc.) are not utilized at the same time as the a/c on that single hot leg. ASK if you don't understand this terminology. If two simultaneous guest units, only 15 amp service is available for the second unit. The breakers for the RV outlets are in a locked outbuilding requiring host to access or guest orientation. If you are using A/C or resistance heating, or electric water heater AND staying MORE than one NIGHT, a $5 gratuity (one-time only, not per night) for electricity is suggested but NOT REQUIRED. These donations go to our favorite charity. We will gladly fill your fresh water tank but it requires use of my 150' garden hose which is not practical to leave connected. Fresh water fills and dump facility NOT AVAILABLE during periods of possible sub-freezing temperatures (normally mid-November to late March). No discharge of fireworks. No discharge of firearms on property except with Host supervision within my indoor range (pistol calibers only). ATV's may use the back yard. We may curtail operations if noise or unsafe operation is an issue.
