A great trailer, everything went perfect and the owners are great people!

I have rented this trailer before and it doesn’t disappoint! Linda & Kevin are great hosts. A clean, and beautiful trailer. I highly recommend renting from them. Even with Linda having broken her ankle they managed to get the trailer to the location on time, and such easy going friendly people. Always messaging back right away whenever I asked a question and very helpful. If you’re looking for reliable, trustworthy people to book with, these are your people!
