Perfect accommodations for us, a single parent with two teens. Trailer was exactly as described and worked perfectly. The renters were excellent to deal with. This makes for an easy and maneuverable experience. Very manageable and comfortable.

Tim was a great host. He was quick to communicate with us regarding our questions we had. RV was clean and bedding , towels, and kitchen supplies were provided. Would do this again!

My husband and I rented Ruby for SLU baseball games and a couple of nights at Swan Bay. This was only our second RV trip but Christine made it so easy. Before pick up Christine was responsive to all our questions and even sent an instructional video for Ruby which was extremely helpful. Ruby was easy to drive and we had plenty of room inside even on the days it was cold and rainy (which was most of the days). Despite the bad weather we had a great trip. Highly recommend Ruby!
