Wonderful
Our host were a very nice couple. We were greeted by the driveway & escorted to our site. Very quiet so we slept great. Thank you.

Friendly and gracious
The host was welcoming and made us feel a home. Enjoyed our conversations. Very peaceful place. Close to the quaint city of Chelsea and some awesome bike trails both off road and paved.

Kind, Generous Host and Beautiful Property
This was our first experience with Boondockers and it was fantastic. Our host graciously met us on arrival and showed us where to park and offered the use of his 30amp power. We had a chance to chat a bit and I loved hearing about their journeys to Alaska and Mexico. That evening we got a call advising us to peak outside to see a the deer meandering through the property. In the morning I took a walk around the property which is perfectly manicured and I saw a bunch of beautiful birds (humming bird included). Thanks again and I hope we have a chance to meet again!

Peaceful
We had a very nice stay. The property is well cared for. The host was there to greet us and show us the way to our site. Very welcoming. We loved being able to stay so close to family. We even saw some fawns each evening while we sat outside.

Beautiful!
We had a lovely peaceful stay while we enjoyed a trip to Ann Arbor. The host is so kind and met us at the street to guide us in and make sure we got all set up. The location is great in a very pretty peaceful area a quick drive to Ann Arbor. They have a beautiful yard where our kids and pups enjoyed running around and playing. We are so thankful to the generous hosts and would absolutely stay again.

We highly recommend this one.

Beautiful Spot
It was like staying in a small cabin in a small meadow in the woods only with 30 amp power and a sewer hook up. Water was available across the field. Lovely, quiet spot. Close proximity to Detroit and Dearborn. Beautiful neighborhood. Friendly hosts.

Very nice stay as always
They are our place of choice for my UofM follow up visits. Pretty, quiet, full hookup. What more could you want?

Very nice place.
All the things listed. Very nice people, but we didn’t get a chance to chat much cold, rain, wind, tends to keep people inside. We will be back again, host willing.

A great peaceful location
Just a lovely private & quiet spot. Dale and his wife were very accommodating. Electricity, water, & a dump station were available. Our dog enjoyed meeting their dogs. Thanks so much for sharing your space!!!

lovely property to reset
We stayed at Maxwell for 3 days. Dale met us to help navigate his "hidden" drive way to his lush backfield. We had full hook ups (thank you so much!!) and plenty of room to enjoy the trees and birds and let the dogs play. The area around them has lots of lakes and the towns are really quaint. Both Dale and Lola were just the sweetest. Dale showed us his shop (which is amazing) and they gave us a tour of the house that Dale built all on his own. Really the kindest couple. Wish we had more time to get to know them. (Maybe we will have to return for that dinner we didn't get a chance to have.) If you are in the area and need a peaceful and relaxing place to stay this is it. You won't be disappointed!

Amazing Paradise Close to Hell (Michigan that is... :))
Dale is AMAZING! He was such a courteous host. He responded quickly and met us out by the road to show us to the campsite. He was so hospitable - offering 30 Amp and water hookups. He even welcomed us to stay long...and we are! The backyard is very private and our dog, Chocolate Chip, loves the freedom to be off leash. Truly generous hosts!

GREAT HOSTS!!!
Dale and Lola were phenomenal hosts! Dale met us at the end of the driveway, guided us back the path to the site and helped us connect to the hookups. The site was easy to get to (via a grassy path), private, level, and had full hook ups. They were very friendly and helped with recommending some services we needed. We highly recommend this host!!!

Excellent hosts, warm and friendly
The Maxwell's were wonderful hosts. They were unable to be there when we first arrived, but provided excellent directions (and put up flags to mark the entry) into their meadow like RV parking area. We took advantage of the 30 amp electric hookup they offered us. They also had water and a dump station available, which we did not use. We had an enjoyable chat on their patio and were treated to a view of the beautiful birds at their feeders. We highly recommend a stay at their place. They are good people!

Great Place to Stay - Wonderful Hosts
We stayed with Maxwell for two nights in our 35' motorhome. The site was located behind their home. Our host met us at the street to guide us in. Nice open site lined with trees. Everything you could hope for, electricity & water. The location is very close to Chelsea and also great trails and lakes in the area. The hosts are a lovely couple and very generous and gracious.
