We are a couple who love travelling. We enjoy peace and quiet, in fact we thrive on it. If we are guests, you won't even know we are there. One of us Is retired and the other one will be working a few more years then retiring. We will take shorter trips for now and longer trips once we are both retired. We love the outdoors, wilderness hiking, canoeing, exploring. Have been sailors and owned a cruising sailboat for many years (but not now). Love being grandparents of three and hope to take one or more of them on RV'ing trips.
As a couple, we have a variety of skills (mechanics, computers, sewing, technical writing)
Our elderly dog, Daisy, passed away in 2018. We miss her. Although we have had cats over the years, after our last one died due to cancer we have not brought another cat into our lives just yet. So at the present time, we are without pets.
Anywhere interesting and quiet.

We own a 17-foot Alto by Safari Condo with retractable roof; no slideouts; have owned other camper trailers over the last 20 years or so.
Even though we could not be home to meet you, our neighbor gave you an A+. Hope you can stop again so we can enjoy you too. Gladys and Mary Ann
Visited here the second time with my family. As always, Donna accepted my request quickly, and Wayne was very welcoming. This will be my go-to destination whenever I travel to Ottawa.
We enjoyed staying here. Perfect place, and the hosts were very welcoming. We stayed for another night too. Donnan assisted us with sanidumps and helped us with the basics on route to her place. Wayne was particularly helpful even when we arrived late at night. We will definitely stay here again!

Sorry we missed you but we had a great quiet evening and exploring the area.
Beautiful property and great people! I'm looking forward to spending a second night here again tonight!!
This is our second time staying here.
Absolutely love the location!!
D and W are great hosts and greatly appreciate their hosting!!
Very quiet and peaceful location.
This couple is very welcoming and provided us with everything we needed for a great stay in a great location.Thank you!
Great location, quiet night. Thanks to Waynew.donnan for agreeing to host us in their absence. Sorry we couldn’t meet, but thanks for the stay.
Boondocker hosts tend to be so very generous, and waynew.donnan is certainly no exception. We enjoyed several nights here; visited the city and at the hosts suggestion, went to the Farmer's Market in Carp and biked some wonderful trails. Great Stay!
W. Is a very nice Guy. We had a fantastic stay with W&D.
We visited Ottawa and had a great time.
Thanks for your hospitality. We enoyed everything.
Kind regards, G&R from the Netherlands

The hosts are very friendly and gave us a warm welcome. They gave us also a lot of useful informations. The stay in front of the beautiful stone house was very quiet. We like to remember the stay.
Everything was perfect : Nice place, easy to find, electricity, water & wifi.
Thanks again for the hospitality!
Beautiful and peaceful area!
Thanks for making my first experience a great one!!!
See you again on the future!!

We enjoyed a peaceful night at Wayne and Donna’s. Appreciated their hospitality and being able to visit awhile. We would recommend this location!
What great hosts! Not only did we have a comfortable place to put the rig, but hosts waynew.donnan had suggestions for attractions in the city (the light show by Parliament was fantastic!) And helpful tips and answers to our questions as new owners. Gracious hosts and a great stay! Please visit us in MN some day! :-)
Donna and Wayne were very gracious and delightful to spend time with. Getting from their home to the heart of Ottawa was very easy. We enjoyed their company so much that we hope that they will visit us in Wilmington, NC. The host site was terrific - off the road, quiet and shady. About 4 km from Carp which is delightful little village where you can get a great meal at Annie's Village Cafe.
Thank you waynew.donnan, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you. It was a nice spot to camp while a just a short trip to visit our national capital. We also very much appreciated your warm hospitality and help in our time of need.
Donnan were super communicative and accommodating. They weren't there but made it easy to hook up and host our young family. It was such a large property!
Such a kind reception at short notice and despite the downpour - much appreciated. Hope we meet again.
Wayne and Donna are two enterprising business people who are willing to make space and time available for a Boondocker. They camp in a small tear drop trailer when they are not working on their cottage or maintaining their spacious rural setting property. I do not know where they get the energy, but they are certainly generous with their time. Throughout our stay they would occasionally check in and make sure we had everything we needed. We felt exceptionally safe and well taken care of. Power and water were always available. The boondocking site is 35 min. from downtown Ottawa, making it very easy to commute to wherever you are going as a tourist in the National Capital Region.
Great Hosts and a great place to stay. We are so thankful for the hospitality. We stayed for three nights the first two nights while the hosts were away. Glad that we met them on the last afternoon and enjoyed socializing in our trailer in the evening. Very convenient for visiting Ottawa, nice location.
Ok, don’t take that wrong, I mean it was great of them to offer to host us while they were away. Add to that that they already had guests coming! The place was great, easy to find and bonus: no mosquitos! Thanks so much for really extending your hospitality.
Our stay at donnatravelling was excellent. We enjoyed a quiet night of sleep before leaving in the morning. Everything was as described in their message. Thank you very much
They were very accommodating even though we gave them short notice. Very peaceful and quiet even though their driveway is right off the main road.
Lovely location in the country with an easy drive into Ottawa. The road in front is busy but the noise was hardly noticeable. It is always fun to meet a fellow boondocker who has the type of camper you have admired from afar. Chatting with our hosts was like talking to a long time neighbor over the fence at home. We hardly touched on the things to do in Ottawa so we will be back to this nice location.
Thanks for hosting the one night, it was greatly appreciated. Hope I can reciprocate on your visit here.
Thank you for letting us stay at your house for 2 nights. We would like to have seen you may be next time.
Hope you had time at the Park.
Gabi and Joe
