Our home includes access to a pond with kayaks, canoes, and fishing. For safety I would request anyone using the boats to wear a provided life vest(flotation device). I have a workshop and have access to many types of tools if you have any minor problems that may need attention to your rig. I have a decent background in mechanics and can assist in repairs if available. We have traveled most of the continental US, the interior of Mexico, and are very knowledgeable of Central Florida / Nature Coast area. *Special note- I was not able to host for several months this year and the dates I thought were blocked were not. The email account that I associated with this site was not one that I checked with any regularity so my response rate fell dramatically without me realizing it. I am now notified in a more effective manner when there is a request, so please do not hesitate to send one. Suggested Local Attractions:Atmore has many restaurants, a coffee shop, and a great public library. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians operate a casino(6 miles) that has an entertainment center that offers a movie theater, bowling alley, concerts, and arcade. The tribe also has a wonderful (small)museum that is within 5 miles that is a great cultural experience if you have an hour or so. The last I went, it was no charge. A Walmart is located 1.5 miles away as well as a coin laundry.

House Rules

We travel during the summer (first of June til first of August) and will be unable to host during this time. Also, Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the last week of March we will most likely be unavailable to host. All plans subject to change, so just send a request and we can possibly fulfill it. Dogs, cats, and children are no problem. There are a few dogs that visit the property, so be mindful if you have a pet.

Location

Access Road Conditions: My home is located approximately 3 miles from exit 54 of I65 and 1.5 miles north of HWY 31. The RV parking area is connected to my circle drive. The drive is height restricted on the East side of the circle and is very tight for a vehicle of more than 20 feet on the East side. I regularly pull my 33' class A on the West side of the drive(left side coming from road). My drive is asphalt, and a class A up to 40' will have no problem making the turn into the drive. Parking will be between the home and the pond. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: We have several acres so parking for a tow in no problem.

    This was our second stay here and it was as quiet and enjoyable. If you want to stay a few days and sit by the pond you won't regret it. Thank you for being exceptional Hosts!

    Jason and Kelly were great hosts. They helped us get settled in and even told us about local places to check out. Very nice folks.

    Jason was a great host. Helped get us into position and ran a 15A cord from the house to keep us charged. Also ran a hose from the house so we could fill our tank. Super helpful and accommodating. It was a pleasure meeting the family and even Kelly's parents just across the pond. Everyone was very friendly. You know you're in good company when it feels like long-time good neighbors after just one day! The parking spot has a little slope to it, but I was able to level-up 3.5" on one side. It is nice to be right on the pond under a big oak and some pines.
