This was our second time to use this RV, great experience both times. The RV was clean and well equipped with high quality gear. Easy to set up and very comfortable. Appreciated the help at pickup and drop off connecting and disconnecting the RV from my vehicle. Very helpful and pleasant folks to deal with. Thanks!

We rented this jewel from May 30 - June 14, 2025 and had a wonderful time! Angela and Brad were great to work with and wonderful hosts. They really have thought of everything when you rent this unit from them. Bedding, pillows, hand towels, folding chairs, outdoor games, an outdoor rug that you can put out when staying in camp sites as well as a broom and dustpan. We loved that there were a few games and movies in the RV too! During the drives, our kids would sleep or play card games and this just helps to pass the time rather than having to sit in a cramped car pulling a trailer. We have rented for 7 years now, always the first 2 weeks of June and this has by far been the best trip! Our family included 2 parents, 1-25 yr old, 2-17 year olds and 1-16 year old. Sleeping arrangements were great with the bunk beds and the folding couch. We love getting an RV with a bed over the cab because then you never had to breakdown the table. This is always nice at breakfast time. They RV is well taken care of and took us everywhere we needed to go! Started in Magnolia, TX all the way to Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisianna. We absolutely had the best time and would recommend this RV to our friends.
