This was an absolute AMAZING experience! Tera, the host, was Exceptional at communication and preparations! Tera had everything ready in the RV for our trip! She even had a 35x35 play pen, which allowed us to have a perfect spot for our little twins to explore. The RV was pristine and clean and the sheets and bedding were cozy and soft. She had thought of all the utensils and cooking items needed! It felt like we were in a BNB on wheels! We will absolutely rent Tera's RV again! She even left us a riddle book and fun events brochures about the area, which the kids enjoyed reading to each other, and it gave us some great ideas for our next trip! Thank you so much Tera we will see you next time!

Paul & Kim were great to work with. They delivered the trailer and had everything all setup when we arrived, and I mean everything, the grill, folding chairs, awnings, etc… Would definitely recommend them.
