Beautiful RV, very spacious. Owners were very sweet and fast to respond to communication.

Lorelei B. - May 2025

We rented this camper for a weekend trip. Ralph is very nice & responded quickly to our questions. He was very accommodating to our pick up & drop off times. The camper was just like the pictures except the outside was faded a little which did not matter to us. It was clean and well taken care of. It was well stocked with cooking/eating needs. It even had a coffee maker, toaster, condiments, outdoor chairs, & much more. The bed was very comfy. I would rent it again.
