Host was great! Super helpful and communicated well. RV was a little beat up and was missing the outdoor mini fridge. But just some small things, we had no problem using it for our stay. Had a great time with it. It towed very well too with the included sway bars.

We had a fantastic Birdcage rental experience! Sarah and Kevin were super responsive to our request to rent. We rented for an event with varying beginning/end times and they were very accommodating about our delivery and pickup. The RV was well stocked with all the kitchen essentials, towels, and linens and was very clean and well maintained. Thank you Vogel's for allowing us to rent the Birdcage for the weekend. Our family had much more family time RV-ing it vs. typical hotel stays.
