So Incredible we Extended our Stayh

We've been using BoondockersWelcome for some time (what a great idea!) so we've visited quite a few hosts. All have been amazing, but this was by far the best! You couldn't possibly ask for a better experience. We cooled off with 30 amp power, swam in the lake, enjoyed the WiFi and unlimited water supply, lolled under the shade trees, watched the deer in the front "yard", and were looked after by the most generous and kind gentleman you could wish for! What a treat! You could stay in a provincial park for anywhere from 30 to 90 dollars, and not even have services. Pinch me!
Dennis and Pamela (hoping we return this way).

Stunning property

Don was great, helped us get set up quickly. Very friendly and accommodating. Beautiful experience, a deer came right up to our trailer. Easy to find and would certainly return again!

An incredible host!

My wife and I were packing up this morning getting ready to leave after a nice couple of days spent at this hosts lovely property when we noticed a major problem with the back of our trailer. The back wall had started to separate! I started in on a quick repair, then went up to the house to let them know we would be a bit late departing. The host came down to see if we needed help, and stayed the whole day helping with time, tools, materials and his knowledge!! Truly a generous soul! He then suggested we stay another night to make sure our repairs held. What a guy!

What a beautiful property, and amazing hosts!

When we pulled up, we were lucky enough to have the host personally guide us to our site on his amazing property. He was in the process of installing a second 30 Amp hookup. It was very quiet and peaceful, and we really enjoyed our 2 days.

Beautiful Spot

Wow what a beautiful spot. Found the place easily with very accurate directions on the site. We got setup with power and wifi (we chose a site with power which is off the water but worked great). Then walked down to the beach and around the little rocky peninsula on the property. The field sites are right there by the beach and peninsula. Beautiful views and I can only imagine the sunsets.

Communication with D n R were great. Got us going with the wifi and answered my our questions on the local area.

We are looking forward to stopping on our next trip past and staying a few days to the beach and lake.

Paradise!

What a beautiful spot to stop for the night! Wonderful hosts provided friendly assistance when we really needed it!

I would highly recommend stopping in at The Ranch to anyone travelling in the Kenora area! Hope to visit again someday!

What a beautiful spot

The Ranch was just what we needed when the rain and snow flakes began. The grassy RV site is on a beautiful property by the lake. Don made sure we had water and Wi Fi. We were comfortable and commmend them for being such a great host.

Great stay at The Ranch!

We had a wonderful stay at The Ranch. Donnrita are excellent hosts, very accommodating, friendly and generous.
We enjoyed your beautiful property with it’s abundance of wildlife.
We highly recommend and hope to travel your way again. Thanks again for hosting.

Paradice

Right by the water
Haven’t slept so well in years
Host was away
I hope to stay there in the future

Northern Ontario paradise

This was an awesome boondocker location. Nestled on a lake in Northern Ontario just outside Kenora. Was great chatting with Don when we were setting up. Due to the rain coming we did not take one of the lake front spots but stayed for higher ground. This allowed us to hook up to one of his 30 amp poles. Great amenities, Great location and Great people. Some of the many benefits of the Boondockers website. We even had a group of deer stop by to say goodnight to us!!!

Wonderful!

Thank you so much Donnrita!
Instructions to your home were clear and detailed, lots of hard-packed parking for our little rig looking into the meadow. We didn't take advantage of the fire pit or your fishing hints but appreciated the offer. Only disappointment was that our gracious, friendly hosts were off travelling so we couldn't say Thank You in person!

Scenic, super quiet area!!!

Although our hosts were not available, they provided very good instructions to their home. We took an evening walk along the shore, beautiful views of the lake, and avoided bothering the bunch of Canada Geese that were overnighting. Much thanx for hosting us, it was a perfect location to unwind!!!

Great place to be!

Our host was very nice with us, we were stock in the mub with the rv and he gladly pull us out of trouble. It was very nice talking with the host? The location for the rv was very nice in a beautiful landscape. Thanks a lot for the stay!

The Ranch: a beautiful and restful spot

We really enjoyed visiting The Ranch despite the rain and wind which prevented us from truly experiencing this beautiful property. We certainly would like to return when the weather is sunny. Thanks, D., for hosting us; we would certainly recommend you as a Boondock host and venue.T&V

P.S. Thanks for "unstucking" us!

A peaceful night

At The Ranch, Donrita have been excellent hosts and provided us all the details for a wonderful stay. The Ranch is a dream oasis after the many hours on the road. A place right on a wonderful lake, it is so peaceful. Chatting with our host was great. An overall great experience. Thanks a lot.

Great stay

This accommodating couple shared their gorgeous property with us, going out of there way to make our stay in the area possible and perfect. Would happily visit again. In fact, looking forward to it.

Beautiful location

Thanks again Donrita. It felt good to pull into a familiar spot after a long days drive. Sorry you had to work but hopefully we meet again on our next trip East or if you are out our way.

Beautiful lakeside campsite

Friendly and accommodating host and one of the most beautiful properties we have been lucky enough to stay at on our travels.

Great experience all around.

Joining BW was absolutely the best idea my wife has ever had! We had a great stay with DonnRita. I could not imaging anything better as a first experience. Thanks guys for sharing your wonderful property with us and for such great hospitality. Really look forward to seeing you both again down the road.

Beautiful place, incredible host, 5 stars!

Our host told me he welcomed Boondockers because he loved his property so much that he wanted to share it. We are very lucky he feels this way, because it was a great treat for these tired travelers to spend even one night at such a special place.
Thank you

Amazing Host

Beautiful property with an accompanying host. Highly recommend.

Wow!

Big beautiful property with all the services we needed.
The view on the lake is amazing! We would definitely stay there again!
Thank you. :-)

lovely lake setting

We were sorry not be able to hook up with our hosts as there was no-one home, my cell phone had died and no wifi, so unable to contact them. We were exhausted as our A/C had quit in our vehicle and it had been a very long day. Although it was pouring rain when we arrived, we were able to park right at lakeside - it was so peaceful and calming a location, it was a welcome destressor for us. The rain stopped and the sun came out later, so we could sit outside,listening to the birds and call of the loons before and turning for and early night.

Excellent

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your gorgeous lake house! We loved meeting you and your family and getting some awesome recommendations. The fireworks show was icing on the cake. Take care and maybe we will see on another down in Arizona.

Beautiful lake setting

We were welcomed by Don and told to set up anywhere along the property. The Canada geese really like the waterfront! Lots of baby ducks and goslings!
Wonderful views of the lake and a magnificent sunset
Our little labradoodle was very welcome and she enjoyed her off leash time.
Thanks so much!

The Ranch is awesome

First Boondockers experience for us! The Ranch was beautiful. Very peaceful, nice lake lots of nature. Deers, turtles, bald eagle flying over head and more. Did not get to meet the hosts this time. Hopefully on the way back. Loved the Ranch.

Just beautiful!

So peaceful...so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your dream place with us.

Great brief stay

Always nice to see a nice smile. Thank you for a place to rest our head for the night.

Excellent

Our first boondockers welcome stay. Great hosts and amazing location. We booked for one night but stayed 2 as it was a perfect place to relax by the lake.
Thanks so much donrita.

Stunning Views and Wildlife too

This the most beautiful location that we have stayed at. Don and Rita have a beautiful property with options with a fantastic veiw or with services. While here we enjoyed seeing several Canadian geese families, loon families and a beaver. We enjoyed our chat with Don and we hope to see them again in the future.

Our family had such a great time here last summer that we made a point to stay again this spring.

Beautiful property, wonderful hosts.

A pure pleasure.

Nice property

This a nice property with a view of the lake many deer and geese.
We were unfortunately unable to spend time with you.
Thank you.

Didn’t stay unfortunately.

Did not stay with host. Stay was cancelled by the host for unfortunate medical reasons.
Good communication from Donita.

Totally Accommodating

Inspite of a visit early in the season our host was totally accommodating and guided us to an ideal spot on a huge property where our RV would be level and the view of the lake ideal. Wanted to stay longer and listen to the loon calls out on the lake. Many thanks.

Gorgeous View

The view and surroundings were lovely. We received a warn welcome. Friendly and interesting hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to return when the ice is out of the lake. Great place! Great hosts!

This was my 2nd stay !

Just as perfect as the first one.
Whiskey enjoyed running around:-)

Thanks again !

Boondocker's Paradise

Wow. Fabulous spot and super friendly host - what can you ask more?

We didn't stay long, but it was perfect! We arrived later than planned, and he waited for us, and even helped us level the trailer. Such a gentleman.

Nothing but good words for that spot/host! Hopefully we will be able to come back in the future and stay longer.

Perfect Hosts ..Amazing Property in a Great Location!

What more can We say! Don and Rita welcomed us with open arms . There’re Property is so big and so well maintained that we felt like we were in Our own Private retreat!
We initially requested a stay of three nights ,but due to circumstances we arrived early and stayed later!

We certainly recommend The Ranch to All our fellow Boondockers!

Thanks again for an amazing stay!

Rob and Jean. Alberni Falls

Merci beaucoup!!

The Best “ EXCELLENT “

This was one of our most enjoyable stays with Boondockers. Don & Rita we’re very friendly, helpful and made you feel right at home. They have a beautiful Ranch sitting on the edge of a peaceful lake with lots of room.
We were fortunate to have some interesting conversations with Don with lots of laughs. He’s a great guy.
I hope we have the pleasure someday to show him a little of Arizona.
A BIG thanks to Don & Rita, one of the Great hosts of Boondockers.

The Ranch is a truly special place!

We could not have stayed anywhere as beautiful as this Lakefront Ranch !

Thank you Rita and Don

Rob y Jean ....Alberni Falls!

Amazing Retreat!

We cannot say enough good things about this host or his property! We enjoyed it so much we stayed an extra night.
The grounds were impeccably maintained and the fishing was spectacular!
The kids especially loved the little private island that they could catch crayfish from.
Our host was the nicest, most ambitious, hardworking man that we have ever had the pleasure of their acquaintance.
Definitely be back again!

Quiet stay

Welcoming host.
We fell asleep with the cry of the loons.
Really quiet and beautiful environment.
Thanks

John and Sharon'Stone 2nd Boondocking experience

Thanks D n R for being a Host for Boondockers.com. From your warm welcome to your beautiful property on the lake, everything was more than we expected. The peaceful and serene setting was just what we needed after a long day of driving through northern Ontario. We would highly recommend you to other Boondockers!

Superb site

A dream location worthy of the best campsites!

100% Perfect!

Beautiful property by the lake !!!!
Amazing people :-)

My puppy & I loved our 3 days by the lake.
Thank you so much !!

Nice spot

A warm welcome on a hot afternoon

Peaceful retreat

After the hustle and bustle of driving all day it was sheer heaven to spend time at the ranch. Easy to find. Beautiful scenery and welcoming hosts. It doesn't vet much better. A longer stay maybe.

Lovely place, very helpful host!

A beautiful place with lots of space and a fascinating rock formation i wish i could have explored more. Donnrita was a great host wirh lots of helpful information about the roads ahead that and allowed us to follow a really nice route to our next destination. Thanks Don, best drive in a long time! And getting fresh fish from the lake was fantastic!

Perfect Stay

The Ranch is absolutely beautiful. The directions given to us were easy and spot-on.
There was someone there to meet us and he even gave us some worms for fishing! We didn’t require any water or power but it was great knowing it was there if we needed it.
We fished on the rocky point and had deer right outside our trailer! Our evening and night was peaceful and quiet.
Would definitely recommend!

Sleeping in the park

This spot is absolutely beautiful. A Park by the lake. We woke up to the Loon,s call. Very peaceful. Gracious hosts.

Beautiful place

Don's a great guy and has an awesome spot. We did a little fishing while there and my wife fed a couple of deer. Couldn't ask for a better spot. Thanks Don!
Terry & Wendy.
