Short time travelers Details: We.both worked at the local paper mill, enjoying retirement. We like boating, happy hour, Rick tinkers outside a lot, Jack of all trades! I like to crochet, sew some, cook, small garden and flowers. We can accept one rv at a time for about 4 -5 months of the year, June thru Sept. maybe Oct, if we are still here...Found out this year, if one rig is a small conversion van, we can fit two rigs, kind of cozy😳😎 Home Town: International Falls, MN has been home all our lives. We traveled two weeks every winter for 25 years, as a needed get away. Summers, being short are the best, most times, especially living on Rainy Lake. We live 7 miles from town. We have a couple kayaks for your use. Swimming off our dock is fine, have a few weeds and a mucky bottom. We enjoy watching the ducks and deer always around. Favorite Boondocking Locations: Arizon, was our first experience in boondocking in 2016, and will be there soon this winter. We have stayed around Lake Havasu, Yuma.

We stayed 2 nights and sat on the dock overlooking the bay…. The ducks and fish were active as well as bullfrogs and loons! Thank you Rick and Robbie for being so gracious! Might be back next year to go to Voyageurs….

Great communication, lovely spot, 10 minutes from the Park’s Rainy Lake visitor center, and hosts are very kind. We loved our visit, but since it rained a lot while we were here we did not take out the kayaks. Still, their willingness to loan their kayaks and share the back deck were wonderful and much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this to anyone in the area!
