Beautiful interior, very comfy and well supplied. Host was great at communicating.

The whole experience from booking and communication to delivery and setup was absolutely great. The RV was comfortable, cool and had everything we needed to let us focus on spending time together. Honestly, all of the little extra's—Blackstone Grille, towels and kitchen tools to name a few, made it feel like we were in our own home. My son and I especially enjoyed the outdoor seating and cooking dinners on the Blackstone Grille at the end of each day. A big Thank you to Ashley and Jon for sharing their RV with us and being a part of a really great vacation.
