It has also been home to a hospital and is now a historically registered site, and well worth a visit.

Our family of four slept comfortably on an epic road trip up the coast to the Redwoods and Crater Lake in Oregon and then back down the Eastern Sierras!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, this was my first time towing something with my car and first time camping at Mount Laguna. The experience was great, Tom showed me the ropes and hooked up the trailer to my car for me while showing me how to do it with clear instructions. The add-ons he has available were amazing, the e-bikes were the cherry on top for my trip. Instead of unhooking the trailer and feeling anxious about doing it wrong, we took the e-bikes to the local store. The trailer itself was a dream, it kept me warm at night and felt cozy. The rooftop tent is a must, I laid up there after my hike and felt so relaxed being in nature while laying down in a shaded spot with a mattress. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely do it again. Tom’s pickup location is prime, right off the freeway. I can’t think of anything else that would make the experience better.

This trailer is so great and Matt was an incredible host. Took our family camping and this trailer made the experience even better. Great kitchen, roomy and comfortable beds. Will definitely rent again.
