Green Wood Stable Lodge RV Park

I would be very wary of staying here long term. The landlord has been a thorn in my side from pretty early on. I am in the military and stayed here for 7 months, and during this time I tried to accommodate Mary’s ever revolving requests to the best of my ability. The reason I left was because I dealt with harassment and relentless pestering from the landlord, Mary. There are some positives like location, size of property, access to internet, and the RV neighbors. There are also plenty of negatives. Mary snoops unannounced, engages in unreasonable surveillance, and aggressively uses her phone to monitor our daily life. At the end of the day, Mary will always look for a problem. By the way she acts and some of the reasoning she uses, it seems that Mary would prefer to live alone. So, unless you’re a hermit crab that rarely comes and goes, doesn’t use the outside space, and have all potential projects completed find somewhere else to live. Unfortunately it took me this long to realize there are far better options at much cheaper prices in this area.

Below are a few of the many frustrating interactions I had on property.

• When I arrived, I was given permission to work on projects like truck maintenance or RV mods. Mary’s website listed quiet hours at 9:00pm but I was always finished by dark. later was told to stop work by dark then again it was changed to 5pm(on a weekend). Regardless of how much that frustrated me, I complied. Still, she would uninvitedly enter our space to grill me about what work I was doing and when it would be done as if I was again inconveniencing her. I talked with all neighbors and the only person that was bothered was Mary.

• I started a small welding project using a 125amp gas-less welder(power of a microwave) and welding blankets (all while keeping a safe distance from other RVs). Mary and I went back and forth on this one for a while. Power consumption was her main concern, to which I agreed to pay the bill difference. Then it was the fire hazard, which is ironic because there are fire pits and open flame fires are permitted. I was also told I should have ASKED mary’s permission before purchasing the welder. Nonetheless, when Mary said no welding/angle grinding I complied.

• There is a 5mph sign posted, which we respected, yet my wife and I received an abundance of messages about slowing down because we could potentially ruin the dirt driveway. The harsh rainstorms and flooding have more effect on the road than us but…again we comply. What really pissed me off was the relentlessly videotaping every time we entered or exited the property, as if she could prove our speed from a phone camera. This is when she started violating tenant/landlord acts like the Mississippi common law know as the implied covenant of quiet enjoyment.

• When Mary mows the grass she keeps the deflector open which sent projectiles at my camper.

• There is no laundry facility or designated drying rack so we often got complaints about our towels being hung up to dry. We have dogs that need washed/dried and don’t want wet dog stench towels drip drying inside a small RV.

• Mary is obsessed with keeping every space and trash can spotless, and routinely checks your trash for bugs. Flies and maggots are inevitable in a hot/humid climate but this lack of understanding didn’t stop Mary from blowing up both my and my wife’s phones about cleaning, even though I cleaned the can with Clorox every week. She requests we store meat waste in our freezer until trash day…our RV has a 3 cubic foot freezer . Laughable request. Mary also lingers and takes pictures of your area if it’s not kept to her standards. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t appreciate unannounced visits from people taking pictures of my belongings or rummaging through my trash.

• Mary called the sheriffs deputy to report threatening behavior from myself. I was adjusting my RV, in the rain unfortunately, when Mary demanded my wife get out of the storm. To which I replied our safety is my responsibility. She persists with mundane points and begins to record us yet again. I text back stop harassing me, which made her feel calling the cops was an appropriate response. The deputy sided with me, agrees she’s being overbearing and out of line, gives us friendly advice to leave(we were in the process of packing up), then states she didn’t even call the right department because we were out of his jurisdiction. He and I exchange friendly small talk then he leaves. No reprimand because it’s recognized that the landlord was in fact the issue.

If you’ve read this far and still decide to stay here long term. Good luck.
