The Wandering Gypsy made our stay great. It was clean and stocked full of what we needed for a great stay. Top notch service. Highly recommended.

This is our second year renting, and it was great again! Rick made sure we were set up with solar since we didn't have shore power, and they upgraded the mattress which is a dream to sleep on. An awesome way to spend a festival weekend, and Rick and Sue are great to deal with. 10/10!

Amelie was a dream to work with. Everything was provided and she made it so easy for us to just pick up and go. I will 100% be renting this trailer again!
