Lady Leona has all the comforts you need for a great trip! The sliding bed was my favorite feature—it made the experience even better. Andrew is a fantastic host, always prompt and easy to communicate with. Overall, it was a wonderful experience!

Easy pick up location, great modern features on the van (back up/area wide cameras), induction stove boiled water for coffee quickly, handled high winds easily both on the road and during camping (though the upstairs folks didn't sleep that well from the noise). Van had plenty of giddy-up too.
