Jed the host at Manchester Woods was wonderful. He met us when we arrived and invired us and our dog to join him on his deck that overlooks his very inviting yard with woods and plants. We shared introductory pleasant conversation for quite awhile and we had looked foward to chatting with him again the next day, but we left very early in the morning because my wife was ill and we decided to head home early as being sick in a van camper is not a pleasant experience. We sent a text to the only number we had, and hope he got it and doesn’t think we just left with no explanation. We highly recommend this very comfortable boon dockers spot. We will definitely return if in the area again.

Jed and Fran were excellent hosts. They offered us their wooded lane or driveway to park for the night. Both were easily accessible for our van. We were invited in like we were old friends and talked for hours. I recommend their place to anyone passing through the area. We will definitely stay again.

Jed welcomed us as soon as we arrived and helped us choose the best parking spot for our truck. Soon Fran came down to greet us and they invited us to come sit on their back porch to visit and watch the birds/wildlife...until Fran had to go and listen to her grandson's baseball game (I LOVE the focus on family :)!! We enjoyed a very peaceful stay and slept very well. Oh, by the way, we had ~1-2 bars of 5G AT&T inside our truck.

Hosts Jed and Frannie were very welcoming, accomodating, generous, and caring. Rags the cat was friendly, too. I enjoyed my stay and chats very much. Garden produce may have been involved, but did not influence this review. ;-)
