About
We love our guests and we enjoy hosting!
IMPORTANT:
If you contact us via the HH-system replies may be delayed (a lot).
We will provide our mobile phone number when we approve your stay request - please use this to communicate via SMS/text messages rather than HH's platform.

We live on 10 wooded acres. The surroundings tend to be very quiet, although hunting dogs are common and may be audible at night.
Turns on the circular drive are tight - please see the pictures to determine whether you will be able to navigate them. Note: Take the driveway clockwise, especially when leaving.
Due to the tail swing of we would recommend a limit of 25' for trailers. Although tight, we have little trouble with our 35' Class A motorhome. (Unfortunately, HH does not offer hosts the option to set different lengths for types of RVs.)
Some of the trees have branches that may be too low for taller RVs. We keep them trimmed for our own RV, which is 12'3" tall.
The camping spots have not been leveled yet, but we manage to level our own 35' motorhome with some strategic maneuvering and some blocks for the wheels/leveling jacks.
We have a dedicated RV-spigot at the side of the house that is rated for potable water. It is too far from the camping spot for a permanent hookup, but you are welcome to use it to replenish your fresh water tank. Since we're on a well we ask that you limit your refill to about 20 gallons.
Wi-Fi is available if you need it. We have a Starlink dish. It is perfectly suitable for telecommuting (I use it to work remotely as a network engineer), but you may experience brief interruptions on occasion if the available satellite flies below the tree tops.
Mobile phone coverage is spotty.
Check-in times: before dark - it'll be quite difficult to navigate the driveway in the dark
Check-out times: flexible
The only times check-in/out would be limited is when other boondockers have a reservation.
