We had a great experience in the van. It
had everything we needed for cooking and sleeping. Everything was very organized. Also,
the heater worked great on the cold nights.

Brad was easy to work with as first time van campers. The camper was very well provisioned and everything worked as expected. Had to text him one time and he was prompt and helpful. Camper was easy to drive and fairly easy to park. He already had note about height of van on camper driver visor. We were able to explore rural Vermont in comfort. Our dog loved it as well.

We loved being able to travel without needing electricity and the van provided plenty of space, comforts, and camp gear to make traveling unfamiliar states very easy! It was like taking your home with you on vacation! Mike was so great to work with from day one of our rental questions. Pick up and drop off was easy! Excellent host and staying at the Birch & Berry was a huge treat and a great way to start our trip! Can’t wait to book this all again.
