TRAVESE BAY RV RESORT - OUR SUMMER HOME

This is our summer home (mid-May to mid-October) These are the ponds directly behind our RV. This park has 3 sections (South [which is beyond this group of RVs], Center [the group of RVs in the picture is where our site is], and North. There are 172 sites at this time, and the park can grow to 350 sites with adding another section. We have woods to our south and north, and across the pond and road is a meadow and another group of woods. The woods can be enjoyed by the walking paths through them.



Across the street from this lot, our truck and rv can be seen. Most sites are landscaped. Ours has minimal landscaping at present, but over the next two years, we will put pavers and landscaping.

This picture was taken from our back yard. The building to the left is the office and clubhouse. This clubhouse, on the bottom level, is used for breakfast, dinners, movies, and other entertainment.
The upper level has the office, main library, weight room and lounge. The lounge is actually in a sunroom/porch. When doing exercises, you are looking out at the beautiful forest.



This is typical of the many landscaped common areas. This one divides the road going to the office--right is for entering and left is exiting. They have a full time landscaper as the park has about 90 acres.

This is the pond in the south section. There are a number of apple trees which have been filled with apples this year.
There are many apple orchards in the area, and we have been eating a variety called Honey Crisp, and it is the most delicious apples I have ever had. Their fresh pressed apple cider is soooooo good.


This is the north side view of our site. This huge evergreen graces our front yard. Behind it is their standard shed which is wonderful to have. Our site is 50' wide and 80' deep. We have a small grass lawn in the backyard that ends about one foot from the pond. We have six or so ducks that have been spending time in the pond. We even had a blue heron and a seagull visiting.




This is the south side of our site, and as you can see, our neighbor has really landscaped their site nicely and have a special eating area with grill on the side and in the backyard a patio which faces the pond.
This is another view of the ponds behind us. The pond beyond this one abuts our property, and we so enjoy the sound of cascading water from the water fountain.


This is the south clubhouse. Another just like it is at the north end of the park. The windows in the center is where the laundry is and to the left of the door is where private bathrooms with showers are. The windows to the right is where there are tables and chairs for cards and other games, a big screen TV, mini library and a game center with puzzles, board games, and cards.


When I walk Wubie, he loves to stop at the side of the clubhouse and roll around on the smooth concrete. He also likes walking on the various paths through the woods.


This is the view of the tables and chairs side of the room. To the left of this picture is a mini kitchen so that folks can have drinks and snacks while here.


Another view of the south pond. Walking around each of the three sections is a good 30 minute walk.
