Top Hosts near SK, Canada
This is our second year renting from Linda and George, delivery, set up and the unit is always on par. Communicating with them is great. Looking forward to another camping season
Kurstin G. - Aug 2025
Linda and George were amazing. The RV was exactly as described, we loved the little fridge outside in the storage section, it could be used as a freezer and perfect for those extra items. The shower was nice and big and my daughter loved having that. We appreciated the items like soap, towels, garbage bags. Linda and George were really accommodating with delivery and pick up. We had an amazing trip and would rent from them in a heartbeat. Thank you so much for the holiday.
