The owner was terrific and wanted us to have a great experience. The camper was very comfortable and the bed was a surprise (comfy) with nice clean linens.

The host was able to deliver and set up for us which was very nice. They also provided chairs which was also a great help as we traveled from a distance and couldn’t take too much extra things. Our hosts went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and even left a nice welcome basket for us. Rv plus was that there was an outdoor kitchen sink and mini fridge. Great experience
