It was a fabulous experience! Our host was amazing!

Renting an RV was a new experience for our family. The renovations at our small lake cottage weren't complete by the 4th of July to extend sleeping space we rented the luxurious and sparkling Blue Pheasant Farms Fifth wheel from Kristen and Travis. They delivered, set up and picked up the beautiful RV. It couldn't have been more stress free and pleasant. The only problem we had was who got to sleep in the RV as it was like an upscale hotel suite since everyone wanted to stay there instead of the cottage. Kristen is wonderful at keeping in touch. Kristen and Travis were helpful, warm and a pleasure to meet. You would be lucky to stay in this space!!!

Marc was very thorough in walking me thru the set up and the camper worked great for our weekend getaway. I highly recommend using him in the future
