Celeste was awesome to work with and we absolutely loved camping in their trailer. It was clean and so cozy to sleep in. My husband said it was also a really smooth trailer to tow. We can’t wait to rent it again. They explained everything to us and made the pickup so easy. They also are such nice people and were available anytime we had questions. Thank you Celeste!
