We live on a rural property on the edge of a small village situated on Rice Lake (good fishing!). We enjoy the country setting and all the wildlife on our property that come to our ponds, fields and woodlot.
Construction background and lots of RV repair skills.
We have three cats that enjoy travelling with us.
Oceanside locations! Outports of Newfoundland are our new favorite locations.
Hamilton Township, Ontario

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!
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.
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 !!
Nice, friendly couple. Enjoyed talks about rv’ing and advice about new places to see. Hope to meet up again sometime down the road.
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.
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.
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.
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. Short and pleasant stay. Thanks Maya for everything et pour les quelques mots en français :-)
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.
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.
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!!!
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 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.
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.
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!
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 :)
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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
Such a peaceful and beautiful place to stay for our one night boondocking. The hosts was nice and charming :)
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.

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.
