Couldn’t have been an easier experience for this inexperienced RV operator. Great communication from Keith the owner and an awesome overall fantastic experience!

Keith is a great host! He was very quick to respond to questions. The Minnie Winnie was just a fit for us - had everything we wanted - and it is in great shape. We travelled to Strick's and Rocky Hock over a long weekend. It was very relaxing and, wow, the weather was great.
