Wonderful couple with interesting lives.
Richard and Linda stayed 3 nights with us and we hardly knew they were there. They were exceptionally quiet and polite guests. We spent some time with them the evening before they left, and found them interesting and entertaining. Very highly recommended guests. We hope to see them again, someday.

Pretty spot. Good area.
We enjoyed our time here. We watched the horses in the field. It’s close to the historic covered bridge. Lots to see on the country roads to. The spot is up a little hill, or mound, but it was alright to back up and get leveled.

Southern hospitality
Richard and Linda are both lovely people with a beautiful property parked up on the hill. We were able to spend a few days getting to know them and listening to their stories. We were able to help them out with a few projects and they were wonderful to our children. I learnt a few things about horses and life on the land. Was a fantastic stay! Thanks so much.

Great spot!
Lynda and Richard’s spot in South Carolina was perfect for us. A quiet place to overnight on our way to Alabama. Though no one was there at the time we were warmly greeted by the ponies. Easy to find with GPS and Lynda’s great directions. This was our first Boondocker experience. We are so grateful that people are willing to do this. Thank you so much Lynda and Richard! Mary and Nat

Wonderful stay & got the best view of the airshow!
This was my first time using the website & am I glad I picked Richard & Linda's place! I needed some relaxation and they responded quickly to my request. They also suggested I come on a specific weekend - as their property is near the airport & I would be able to see the Annual International Air Show! I was mesmerized at the airplanes and felt like I was the luckiest gal in town! The property was easily accessible off the interstate - but arrive before dark...it's a quiet road without lamps! I parked right next to the lake and had coffee while watching the birds enjoy the water! I will definitely ask to return!

A beautiful spot!
Although we did not see our hosts, we parked along the pond with a beautiful view. We saw horses from a distance and heard roosters and goats. It was very peaceful except for the occasional plane overhead. Many thanks to Richard & Linda!

Great hosts and site!
We stayed 2 nights at Richard and Linda's horse farm. It's a beautiful, peaceful spot but is an easy drive to town (grocery and Walmart) and super convenient to 75. Our daughter loved watching the ponies. Richard and Linda are warm, gracious hosts and I'd absolutely stay there again if we're in the area. Highly recommend!

Wake up and smell the pony!
We had a blast staying on Linda and Richard's lot. Near the water, lot of horses,goats, poneys, the kids and ourselves loved it. Linda was generous and let us stay a few days wich was more than welcome because we were waiting for mail and packages that were delayed. Thank you Linda!

A big thumbs up
Richard and Linda are wonderful hosts: easy to talk to, generous with their space at the farm and very interesting new friends. The horses on the farm will entertain you. It's also close enough to town to enjoy, but far enough away to appreciate the peace. The unpaved road leading to the property is firm and very well maintained, we had no problem with our long, heavy motorhome and car. Same thing onsite. We parked along the lake on very hard packed ground and had no problems. Easy to recommend and we would definitely go back if we are anywhere close.

Peaceful and quiet
Nice, on horse farm. We did not meet Linda personally, but her email responses were quick and to the point. We set up near the pond, but you can choose your own spot anywhere. Arie and Ingrid

thanks for the overnight!
We did not have a chance to meet Linda, however we met her "host" campers at the site who were very helpful getting us oriented and settled for a quick overnight. Linda was very responsive on contact and we very much appreciated the overnight stay. Would recommend a stay here.

Great people and great location.
My wife and I spent two nights here, but did not meet our gracious hosts until we were leaving on the last day. The site was level and with the horses grazing around our RV, we found the setting very relaxing. We were invited to return so we could talk more, so we came back a few days later and enjoyed the conversations with our hosts. Very nice and caring couple!!

Nice place
March 10, 2016 Richard-Linda are good host. It's a nice place and we enjoyed observing the miniatures horses. Linda gave us the best place to visite in Pinta Gorda.
On the road again
Great country spacious spot by the lake. Rural-Ranch type setting
Highly recommend Richard-Linda

Great people and a great location!
We recently stayed with Richard and Linda and it was an awesome experience. Thier location overlooks a beautiful pond with great wildlife. Just a short distance from booming Punta Gorda, FL, but it has a private, secluded feel to it. Beth and I spent our days exploring the town and our nights watching the lights from the aircrafts that fly into the near by airport. Our dog Emily became fast friends with GRITS, Richard and Linda's poodle puppy that has energy like the energizer bunny. It was a fun, relaxing experience and we can't wait to see them again!

Spacious yet private
I spent two night here and instantly felt right at home. I've spent some time with rescue horses lately, who all have some emotional issues. So it was wonderful to hang out with this friendly herd. I hope to make this a regular stop on my gulf trips. Thanks !

Wish we could have stayed longer
This is a very peaceful little lake to have as a front yard for a night. Hosts were gracious and interesting to talk to. Miniature horses were fun to watch. Since we had an appointment the next day it was nice to be able to pull in and set up without unhooking the towed vehicle, and then swing around and pull out again. We hope to stay here again when we have more time.

Peaceful place and great hosts
We had a really good time on Linda and Richard's ranch. The place is lovely and quiet. We had all what we needed and our hosts were really welcoming and generous. They offered us to stay as long as we needed too. Even if they don't live there, the communication is easy with them by phone, SMS or email. Linda's direction to her little paradise are great and Google Maps will also lead you to their piece of land.

Great location
Linda was helpful in getting us directly to their horse ranch... Weather was less then desirable but they were still able to accommodate us. Thanks so much!!!

Great Hosts and a quiet location by the 3 acre Lake!
A lovely couple to visit with and the horses, ducks on the lake and their dog GRITS were a bonus. They would be most welcome to stay at our property in Australia if they ever venture that far. We would highly recommend them as hosts.

Lovely private, quiet spot. Great hosts.
Linda and Richard are warm and friendly hosts. We enjoyed meeting their ponies and miniature horses. Parking next to their little lake is just lovely. The spot is quiet with the sounds of the neighbours' cows and rooster adding even more of a rural touch. The land is close to the airport, but there aren't too many flights. A few loud planes in the afternoon, and then nothing. We enjoyed watching ducks, Sandhill cranes, and many other birds. We walked the dirt roads in the area; there is not too much traffic, very nice. We ran our generator feeling confident we weren't disturbing anyone. Even with the rural setting, we were only 2 miles or less from Winn-Dixie. Handy location. Hope to return.

Unique place.
Just spent the night with Linda and Richard. Parked next to the lake, saw Sandhill cranes, their miniature horses, watched the big gold moon rise over the lake with its reflection on the water and the sun rise doing the same this morning. They were great host and we loved sharing a day of their lives.
