Chick-a-go's Pets
Not at present. My former feline companions have passed on to their reward. One was a very good sport, made numerous cross-country trips and even went RV camping with me!
Favorite Boondocking Locations
Anywhere on the way with lovely scenery and a temperate climate. Privacy is a plus.

Enjoyed my stay
Her detailed instructions were spot on. The area is close to all the best DC, Arlington has to offer.
The bike riding trails were plenty. a couple of days us not enough.
The weather didn't cooperate but hope to return if she'll have us
Thank you again for a wonderful stay.

Great location to visit DC
We enjoyed our time visit with the host and well as seeing the DC attractions. Thanks again!

Exactly what we needed for a quick trip to DC!
We are so grateful to Chick-a-go for hosting us at her place! It was a tight fit in our 26-foot class A, but we were able to get in and out easily. The driveway had a nice flat spot with easy access to 15-amp power and a water spigot with an RV filter. We were only in town for a day, but this was exactly what we needed. Thank you so much!

Perfect Host
We were running extremely late because of lane closures on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Nonetheless, the host was very accommodating getting our class "B" parked in the dark. You can't get much better than this for sightseeing in Washington D.C. It is very close to public transportation but, we choose to use Lyft for convenience. Lyft is approximately $12 each way to all the D.C. attractions. If we return to the D.C. area, this is defiantly our choice. Way to go, Chick-a-go. Thank you, Dave and Linda.

Gracious host and very convenient location
Perfect site for a Class B for visiting DC and NoVa. Level, quiet, off-street parking in a lovely residential neighborhood and a gracious, welcoming host. Thanks!
Daisy+Buck
Convenient, safe, and friendly.
The spot is super convenient to all the typical DC attractions. In a safe neighborhood, right off the bus route or just $10 Lyft ride into the city. Driveway is narrow, but ample for a class b camper van. We rolled in much later than planned and host was very helpful and accommodating. Wonderful experience, would definitely recommend.

Close to city and uncomplicated host
We had a great time in Washington D.C. Thanks to Chick-a-go, we could stay so close to the city. Easy and quick communication. Definitely recommended.

Great spot in capital region, helpful host
Place is as described. No issues with the very slight slope on the driveway for our 21 ft campervan

Unlevel location but helpful host
The Street parking in front of the host was on a hill so we passed on parking here. The host was out when we got into town, but was helpful with their texts when we were trying to find elsewhere to overnight in the neighbourhood. We had a quiet sleep street parking beside a park a few streets away from their place and left in the morning. Never got the chance to meet up - maybe next time when we’re in the area :)

Convenient and helpful!
We stayed at here for 2 nights and was welcomed by our host who helped us hook up to the electric and water.
We chose this spot as close to Washington DC and it was! Only a 15 minute walk to the Metro station and the 30 minutes to the Smithsonian which is in the centre of everything!
Would definitely recommend this place and would stay again if in the area.
(We were in a 25ft by 8ft. We had to drive in and we fit but was tight and our overhang at the back is low so did slight scrape the road. So wouldn’t recommend any larger.)

Quiet night and good connection to the city
We spend two quiet nights at the driveway. We appreciated very much the Tipps and suggestions about activities we can do in Washington and how to use the public transportation system. Thank you very much for offering a safe and nice place close to the capital and sharing your experiences and knowledge.

Amazing time in Washington!
Host was very warming with a great parking spot for our van! A brief walk & train ride into downtown DC. Very quiet and nice neighbourhood. Really enjoyed our stay!

Great Stay, great location
Great spot close to the attractions. Friendly and accommodating hostess. This is a tight driveway just right for a class B. Anything larger would be uncomfortable. My Winni Travato was a great fit. Quick uber to the national mall

Vert Nice neighborhood in D.C. METRO loop
Neighborhood very walkable even at night. A short bus ride to the Metro station and another short train ride to the National Mall/Smithsonian . I had a great time at the museums there
