The Lake House

Description

We live just outside the historic city of Saint John, New Brunswick in a quiet residential area on a dead end street overlooking Douglas Lake. Nothing fancy, but it is a safe and quiet area to park for a few nights.

We indicated a maximum stay of 5 days simply because that was the maximum allowed by the website. You could stay longer if you wish, as long as the space is available and we don't have a trip planned.

We prefer 24 hours advanced notice, but same day is okay.

Your grassy site measures about 75'×75'. Your rig will be parked on a crushed rock pad.

For those of you with furry kids, we have an unofficial off-leash area across the street from our house. It's a subdivision project that was never completed. The city forced the developers to stop the work because they failed to meet certain conditions. So now it's a large unused property where the neighbourhood dog-owners take their puppy dogs!

Saint John has a fascinating past and us being proud Saint Johners, we love to share stories about our little city! Saint John was actually the first incorporated city in Canada (in 1785), and as a result, led to the formation of Canada's first police department, Canada's first public school and Canada's first free public library. Saint John is also the home of Canada's oldest, and longest running, farmer's market - The Saint John City Market,

We are RVers and we usually migrate south for winter, so our host location is only available from May until the end of November!
Thanks for stopping by!

Access Road Conditions

We are approximately 12.5 kms, or about 7.5 miles, from the #1 highway.

All paved roads to our place. Our house has a gravel driveway

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

In front of or next to rig
To clarify the max length, I can fit our 37' fifth wheel in the space. Ideally we should limit guests to those with a 40 foot rig because you need to back around a 90 degree turn in our yard, but we could accommodate a rig over 40 feet, it would just take a little maneuvering :-)

We are snowbirds, so our location is normally only available from May until the end of November when we are home.
Please be aware, even during summer, our space may not be available since we occasionally do spontaneous trips.
