Nice visit

Had nice visit

Quiet folks

Never even knew they were here.

Really enjoyed hosting this wonderful couple.

Viewrider were very nice guests. We had some great conversations in the short time we visited. We would love for them to “pass by” again some day and enjoy a camp fire with us!

Wonderful guests

We were so happy to host this wonderful couple for the night. They had a wealth of knowledge to share, and we were very grateful for it! My wife even experienced her first authentic Canadian "eh"! We're looking forward to taking them up in their offer to come visit their boondocking spot sometime in the future.

WONDERFUL people

so happy I met you two !! It was a pleasure talking with you both & the homemade jelly and soap was a SPECIAL treat ! I truly hope when you come this way again you stay here, I so enjoyed meeting you & thank you for being so sweet to my pups Trevor & Hannah , they loved all the attention---- looking forward to your next stop over next year !!

Friendly

Nice, friendly couple. Enjoyed talks about rv’ing and advice about new places to see. Hope to meet up again sometime down the road.

Very Nice People

We were very blessed to have ViewRider's stay at the
Vista Retreat. The were very unassuming and respectful. We were happy to provide them with a place of respite while they were here. They were always very appreciatative and extremely quiet. Around the campfire we all had a great time and enjoyed talking about their travels while tossing frizebies for our puppies.

Short stay

These guests arrived tired and glad to be able to finally stop. We are glad that we can offer a quiet place for people to stop, no matter the duration. Very pleasant couple.

Great folks

Welcome back any time

Interesting Couple

Very inspiring and interesting couple. Would like to have had more time to talk. Would recommend this couple to anyone. Hope to host them again some time.

Amazing location

Another fantastic boondocker spot. Great location. Across the road from rice lake
You can see the lake from your spot
They have a beautiful pond with a covered bridge. Hosts are very friendly and great to talk to. Thank you for the great time. Hope our paths will cross again.

Great stay even though WE goofed

Thanks to T & M for their understanding when we goofed on arrival date.....we came a day late and they were more than understanding.
A lovely stay and 'pond-side by the willows' is exactly right.
Very private space.....lots of room.....lots of small towns a villages nearby eager to be explored.
We'd love to make a return visit.
Thanks,
J & L

Lovely Place with Great Hosts

We only stayed for one night but were really impressed by the beautiful place and the warm welcome.
Our hosts made sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our stay and we were grateful for that.
We got to know their sweet new puppy 🐶and loved every minute of our stay.
Thank you for having us and for the apples (that will soon be turned into delicious jam and jelly) - we would love to come back for more than one night next time!

Always great

Was an amazing surprise to see another boondockers Welcome at the same spot! Great expérience with Latino people! Hola muchachos amigos!!!

Cheers

Peace at the bridge

What a lovely time we had with this welcoming couple. It was so nice to relax, chat with other hosts and find out we have so much in common. The setting was perfect and just the escape we needed. Thanks for having us!

Pleasant stay beside the pond

Very pleasant stay with ViewRider. Friendly hosts, interesting discussions. A great boondocker site. Recommended.

My second visit

Same as last time, very relaxing listening to the wildlife! Thanl to ViewRider who came to talk to me to chat a bit!

It's a very nice spot for a small RV or van..

A beautiful bridge and generous host

Thanks to Maya she help me out because I got lost it’s not because it’s hard to find it’s because I had trouble with Google Maps but anyway they greeted me very nicely and I spent a beautiful night thank you
Thanks for the apple they were very good

Loved the bridge

Just off the main road to the side of the bridge. Fairly level area, host supplied a couple of boards to raise the back on one side. Had a chat upon arrival and a very quiet stay. 👍🏻👍🏻

Nice stop

Wonderful and welcoming hosts. Nice stop for a safe night's sleep during our travels. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Perfect Host

Our stay was great. Beautiful property!

Wonderful Hosts

We absolutely enjoyed our 2 night stay at Pondside By the Willows. Our hosts were wonderful people. Very friendly and knowledgeable and accommodating. We enjoyed our chats with them. They have a beautiful property that even has an authentic covered bridge over the beautiful pond. The campsite is large and well kept with large, graceful willows. We would definitely return when in the area.

Overnight

This was our first boondock and the hosts have set the bar high for all other stays. They met us and helped with our set up. We loved the area and thoroughly enjoyed driving to Ottawa off the normal highway path.

GREAT AREA

The spot was calm and relaxing. My host was really helpful and nice to talk to about his previous RV's and the one I own.. I enjoyed very much my sleep there too bad it was raining the next day or I would have stayed another day as my host invited me to stay for a second night.. Next time maybe!

A great stay

Although we arrived around supper time, Terry was there to greet us and helped us get selltled in. He ensured our RV was level and and helped us with questions we had , as we are still new to rving.
The next morning, we had a nice chat and shared a few stories.
We had a great visit.
Thanks

Amazing Host and Lovely Quiet Setting

Great welcome in an amazing setting by a lovely pond. ViewRider are amazing host and we had great discussions. Thank you and we hope to see you again soon.

Nice and quiet spot

Nice and quiet spot. Short and pleasant stay. Thanks Maya for everything et pour les quelques mots en français :-)

Hidden Treasure on Rice Lake

Beautiful country estate with pond and covered bridge. Very friendly hosts, we could have chatted with them all day. Very easy to turn around with our 27 foot trailer. We received many recommendations for future trip ideas. The area is beautiful and one could spend many days exploring. The RV parking site is prior to their covered bridge so no need to cross the bridge with your rig. Thanks very much for the great hosting! Hope to see you again sometime.

An amazing first experience with Boondockers Welcome

We staid with ViewRider for one night. Despite us having to change plans multiple times, which they graciously accommodated, the welcome could not have been warmer, the location could not have been more beautiful and the vegetables from their garden could not have been tastier.
Our three rambunctious boys were even allowed to fish in their ponds and hunt for carving sticks.
We had a fantastic stay and really hope to see our hosts again in the future.

Over and above!!

Thank you so much to ViewRider for the extremely generous hospitality!!!
Veggies from the garden! And some mechanical help was so appreciated!!!
The area by the covered bridge was lovely and very comfortable!!
Definitely would return again when next in the area!!!

Beautiful property!

Wonderful boondocking experience. So much better than staying at a campground. We were welcomed as if we were old friends. Spent a very restful night there.

Our first time boondocking was enjoyable

Our hosts were most gracious. They were full of local area knowledge and eager to share. They also gave us great ideas on how to travel with cats and how boondocking works.

The site was great. It looked across the road at the lake. And on the other side was a lovely covered bridge across their pond.

Memorable weekend

My daughter and I were looking for a "getaway" weekend spot and we stumbled across "Pondside by the Willows." What a find? From the location to the hosts, it was a 5-star experience. There is excellent "easy" hiking at Beagle Club Trailhead/Northumberland Forest. The boating/canoeing/kayaking/fishing opportunities on Rice lake are plentiful. Words will fail me to describe the graciousness of the hosts. Their warm welcome and generosity will not be forgotten. My daughter joins me in expressing our sincere gratitude.

Pondside by the Willows was breathtaking!

The hosts of Pondside by the Willows were very warm and welcoming and also very knowledgeable! They gave us suggestions of what to visit in the area and also gave us tips on RVs and boondocking which we are very grateful for! The property was beautiful and our site overlooked the lake - just breathtaking to wake up to! I wouldn't hesitate recommending this site to anyone!

Beautiful & Quiet in Nature

They have a beautiful property, so much nature !
Very calming and peaceful.

Terry and his wife are kind and friendly.
I very enjoyed talking with them. They are great people.

I recommend :)

Great host!

We spent the last night of our trip at there place. They have a very pretty property, perfect for our kids to strech!
We were warmly welcomed, thanks a lot!

peaceful stay

Want to thank the hosts for a quiet and peaceful location plus the use of electrical was great. Look forward to hosting in return. Thanks again.

Wonderful location!

Thank you for hosting us at your wonderful location. The covered bridge was such a treat. Thanks also for informative and enjoyable conversation. Hope to return some time. Blaine and Brenda

Beautiful spot!!

What a pretty location...so peaceful. Had a nice chat with our hosts before spending a peaceful night by the covered bridge! Would definitely stay again! Thanks IronwoodTerry!

What a Wonderful Spot & Wonderful People!

Our second rime we ever used Boondockers Welcome and it was an awesome experience. A beautiful setting and amazing hosts, we highly recommend these hosts for a visit or as guests. A beautiful lake, a covered bridge, peaceful pond. Artesian well water in the village of Harwood.

Wonderful first time out for us!

This was our first time out with the MH and as boondockers. Terry and his wife made us feel very welcome, on a truly beautiful property. I would recommend them whole hartedly.

Beautiful place!

Such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay for our one night boondocking. The hosts was nice and charming :)

Friendly host

We stayed one night on Terry's property near the beautiful covered bridge. He visited us for awhile in our RV and we swapped travel stories.

Great host Great Location

Terry and his dear wife are great hosts with a nice location for a relaxing place to be for anyone that is passing through or doing some fishing. It was also wonderful to get in a game of golf on my trip with Terry.
That made the detour well worthwhile. I highly recommend them a very good B/D host.
