Location
We are at the end of a small private drive that has several other houses on it. It does have a turn close to the beginning that may be tight (we get our 23' trailer in and out just fine, but we do watch mailboxes to make sure we are clear) - there are also several trees that probably wont allow 5th wheels to clear them. Parking is in our side yard, and water is available to fill your tanks, but not to leave hooked up. The area is generally quiet, but there is noise from the local race track that is loud on some weekend nights.

I currently live in Southern Ohio and we travel on the weekends when we can. My grandparents used to drive from Ohio to California to bring my brother and I back to Ohio for Summer visits when we were kids, and I think that instilled a love of road trips that has stuck with me. I generally travel with my boyfriend and our mini Australian Shepherd puppy, Skye, but also travel solo part of the time, or with a friend or one of my kids (aged 11-32). Travel companions just depend on where I’m going and who can go.

Stephanie was great in communicating with us to make sure we knew where we were headed and had everything we needed once we arrived. Our van is 24ft, and while there is ample parking space, The private drive in is a bit narrow, which is why longer rigs might have some trouble maneuvering. The neighborhood is peaceful, and we really enjoyed listening to the birds and being able to watch the sunset and sunrise from our spot. Thanks to these great hosts for a wonderful stay!
