Hi We are Don and Cathy from Connecticut. Don is a retired scientist and keeps busy with our property and the horses. I am semi-retired from Healthcare IT and in my "spare time" I resell on various resale platforms. Married in 2019 we started RVing to enjoy our retirement and visit our children and grandchildren. We look forward to sharing our home to those on the road!

Don and Cathy were wonderful and gracious hosts for our 2 day stay. We met Odie and Charisma their horses, that will sadly be leaving their farm soon. Such a spectacular piece of property with a dock on the pond with canoe/kayaking launching options. Enjoyed our dinner and conversations with them. So luck to have been able to stay with them. Thank you both so much!

Easy to get in and out with our 37 foot TT. We went on a 5.4 mile hike in Pachaug State Forrest, Laurel Loop Falls. Enjoyed great conversation with Don and Cathy on their beautiful deck. Wish we could have stayed 2 nights!

Great hosts, fun to hang out and talk shop with. We parked nose in so we could see the view of their amazing property. Weather was excellent in June. 50A + water, wifi if you need it. Hiked Misery Mountain nearby and you have to checkout Mystic while you are there, about 30 mins away. (yes, same Mystic as the 1988 Mystic Pizza movie!). We ate at several restaurants and bars on the harbor, great vibe.

We enjoyed 2 relaxing nights at the Mannderosa. We appreciated the electric hookup and the site was an easy back-in. Kathy and Don were so welcoming and gave us great advice about places to visit. We will visit again if we’re in the area!
