The Vultures Roost

You will see this fence as you drive in.

This fellow and a dozen of his brood came last fall and helped themselves to our apple trees. I hope he comes back this year for more.

Marjorie’s first striper. As you can see the tide is about half way.

I had to jump in to get it..... but I got it!

Another small fossil! The shore is full of interesting things. We spend many days looking for beach glass and continue to explore new things even after forty years.

Where in the heck did this come from..... We see some strange and beautiful stones on the shore. I wish I knew more about them. That’s our grandson about eight years ago.

The mud flats looking towards Grindstone island and the rocks in Albert county. Low tide as you can see. This is where the sandpipers come to feed on their trip south.

The very beautiful cliffs below home. Always interesting and always changing.

Coming home in April from Texas. This is a mile from our home and I had to stop and take a picture of the snow banks. We so wanted to head right back to Texas.

Our rig at the Paragon Casino. A wonderful place to stay travelling south. Good rates if you use Passport America.

Friends with the Airstream and us travelling to Texas in 2016. We had stopped at one of the many historical spots on the Natchez Trace park.

Just topping the hill in Quebec on April fourth coming home from Texas. A snow storm and miserable driving.... can’t wait to get home.

My beautiful wife and her best friend along with dog, Joey at the shore below the house.

Friends and family having fun playing in the mud flats. Good clean dirty fun.

Marjorie’s sign we take with us camping. Yes.... sometimes we get toasted. Neither of us smoke but do edibles to sleep. Getting old sucks when everything hurts.

One of Marjorie’s beautiful quilts on the rack. No machine quilting here. Every stitch done by hand and with love. I think every family member has one.

Sometimes I think my beautiful wife has yet to grow up...? But she loves to have fun.

Another good cliff shot.

Looking from the road at our humble abode.

Our garden last year. Not bad considering the late start. But everything grew great and we had a successful crop of everything.

Rockport Texas 2016. At the Sanddollar Resort. A great little park. Somewhat dated but we stay because of the people. Not our motor home behind us. Marjorie caught this 38” black drum. It took twenty five minutes to get it into the boat using light tackle. It tasted good..!

Description

We are on the shore of the Bay of Fundy (walking distance) and the Sandpiper mud flats. Forty two km from Moncton. Twenty eight km from the Nova Scotia border. Magnificent stone cliffs by the water to hike. (Watch the tides) you can get caught. The Sandpiper interpretation centre is three km away where you can watch the flocks of sandpipers carve artwork in the air.

Sackville and it’s Mount Allison university is only thirteen km away.

House Rules

Rules...... what rules!

If you smoke we request that all butts be picked up and disposed of.
Dog or cat residue must be cleaned up immediately.
Treat our property as you would your own. Pick up after yourself and your children.

We are somewhat early to bed as we are old...! Sometimes cranky!
But use common sense and you are free to do what you want.

If the garden is in season you will be allowed to help yourself to most of it. We will let you know what not to pick as we preserve lots for ourselves. There may be plants in the garden not intended for children. There are blueberries available right now on our property that are organic but you must pick them.

If you have children we will expect you to look after them and keep them out of trouble.I have some farm equipment and stored stuff so although it is not dangerous in itself ...... kids will be kids. So look after your children. We don’t mind children and enjoy showing them the country way of doing things. But we put in our time and will smile and wave when you leave with yours.
Just kidding,(sort of).

Access Road Conditions

Lots of room to turn around on the property and all of the ground is solid. There are no trees to tear off rooftop units or rain gutters.
Our driveway is wide enough to make an easy turn. I have brought tractor trailer rigs into the yard with plenty of room to turn.

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

Lots of room for tow vehicles. Pretty much just pick a spot next to your rig.

Availability

Legend:

Available date.

Unavailable date.

Use the stay request form above to make a request with this host for a given date.

We go to the shore fishing in the summer but the property is open. Call us and confirm. There should be no problem.

Location

Dorchester Cape, NB, Canada

Suggested Local Attractions

The city of Moncton has much to see. Museums, shopping and dining.
If you can not buy it in Moncton then it is not available anywhere.
The village of Dorchester is interesting with old stone buildings and two museums. There is a takeout that serves pretty good grub.

Relaxing on the ridge

I’m not sure where to start…..oh yeah our phones navigation drove us right by their place and out of the drive came mr smiley chasing us down to give us a private escort to their home. This word I don’t use loosely as that’s what you felt like you were waking into. They are both such beautiful souls, you leave there wanting to take a piece of them with you to spread the kindness all around. Loved talking and sharing stories with them. You will leave wealthier than when you arrived.

Amazing Hosts

We cannot say enough good things about the hosts. Welcomed us to their happy hour along with their friends. Drive us to the grocery store and gave us a tour of the area. Location was perfect, Quiet and a short walk to the water. We feel we made friends here and will be back.

First Boondockers Welcome Experience!

This was our first Boondockers Welcome experience and it was awesome! They are wonderful hosts who spent time chatting with us and watched a beautiful sunset together. Beautiful setting with a view of Fundy Bay. Wish we could have spent more time there. Thank you so much!

Very accommodating

Both the property and the hosts are very accommodating. A personable couple who makes you feel at home. They seemed delighted to answer all our questions about the area and their garden. Thanks for your hospitality and just for being cool people! Also, be sure to follow the hosts directions to the property!

Friendly hosts with a beautiful property close to Bay of Fundy

We messed up our dates and they still welcomed us like family. Even though they had plans out that evening, they told us where to set up and help ourselves to water and electric. Also told us how to walk to see the tides at Bay of Fundy which was so amazing. Had a great chat when they got back and showed us their new Siamese kittens oh so cute. Just a wonderful couple and thank you so much for letting us stay at your place.

Best Stay

I have always been impressed by the BW folks we have stayed at but these fine folk take it to a whole new level. I can't say enough good things about them. Just genuinely nice people. We had trouble with our towed vehicle and they recommended a good garage and gave us rides to and from the garage and also gave us great directions for sight seeing. We can't thank them enough. You will be very happy if you stay here

Friendly Folks by the Fundy

After we found their place (our fault....be sure to follow the map that they send and don't listen to Google Maps), they welcomed us with a flat parking spot, a water fill, and friendly conversation. Appreciate all the information about Newfoundland as we are make our way there. Nice to enjoy a few veggies for dinner that they allowed us to gather from their garden. Thanks for being such friendly BW hosts!

Perfect!

This was our first stay with Boondockerswelcome and we could not have asked for a more welcoming couple. Outstanding hosts, we were welcome to help ourselves to fresh veggies from the garden.
Will definitely stay again if we are in the area😊
Thank you

Awesome place, friendly hosts!

We could only stay one night but wish we could have stayed longer! The view of Fundy was beautiful, and our hosts invited us to help ourselves to fresh vegetables from their garden! Had a lovely chat as well. Thanks for making us feel at home!

Fantastic and very accommodating!

We have extended our stay from one day to three! These folks have hearts of gold and have been extremely informative about what to see and do in the area!
We visited two extremely interesting museums with enthusiastic tour guides in each! A wonderful experience and so much more than typically found in small community or Large City Museums!
Bravo!

Awesome spot

Very gracious hosts! If we would have needed a shirt, they would have provided the proverbial one off their backs.

Beautiful, well taken care of property with a huge vegetable garden from which we picked tomatoes.

Hesitate to mention the fields on the edge of their property so that no one gets the idea to pick "my” wild blueberries.

It was great to sit out with them for social time, exchange stories and watch them tame the wildlife ;-)

Thank you F&M.
We hope to be back next August.

Great spot!

Had a great stay at The Vultures Roost. Beautiful location, quiet sleep but most of all the hosts. They did everything to make you feel welcome at their home. Had some nice conversations with them and we hope to come back when the sandpipers are actually around.

Our first BW stay

This was our first time using Boondockers Welcome and it was fantastic. The region is beautiful, Fred’s farm and RV setup are ideal and they are helpful and charming.

If you are coming from the east make sure you get specific directions from Fred and follow them to the letter.

Highly recommend!!!
