Surrounded by Nature!

Spent a lovely night in the most beautiful surroundings! The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and went far above the call of duty by helping me with a jump when my vehicle battery died. Fond memories!

Surrounded by Nature!

Our last stop on the island, we had an amazing stay at Jody’s place. I was really surprised to see some less than great reviews about it! We had a Class B camper and found the spot easy to locate and back into. The spot is nestled amongst beautiful trees at the end of Jody’s drive. You’re semi-near the house but it’s more than private enough! This was a spot where we felt super safe and comfortable. Some reviews mention noise from being near the road, it is close but we had no issue with noise. The location is super near the lake and has a lovely walk down to it. We felt welcomed without the hosts being overbearing.

We loved the little space created, and we were definitely surrounded by nature! Great communication by the host, exactly as described. We plan to stay here again. Especially given we can bring our dogs with us. Many thanks!
