As with most things there are pros and cons. Here are some of them for this little rental. First the pros….
- Property - The RV is on a great little property with a pond. It is somewhat secluded and sheltered from the wind (this was important as we were there during a wind storm, but the RV stayed nice and quiet and isolated). It’s a very quiet spot with no noise from traffic or the outside world.
- Location - The property is well situated for lots of hiking and exploring in the area. There are tons of trails and parks within a ten or fifteen minute drive.
Be warned though that amenities like shops and restaurants are pretty limited and most require at least a 20 minute drive. That said, there is a food truck nearby that was shockingly delicious. If you end up renting this little RV I highly recommend paying them a visit.
- The RV itself is fairly new and spacious. It has a couple slideouts for the bedroom and the dining room table which opens up the floor space. Although there was only two of us staying there, it did not feel cramped at all and certainly didn’t feel like an old camper or anything.
- This is a nicely priced rental (or was when we rented) and is a great option for the budget minded traveller.
Now the cons, or things that you should be aware of before you rent….
- The RV is listed as a 6 person accommodation and I think this is stretching it. If you rented this for six people I think you’d be pretty unhappy. I feel this rental would be perfect for a small family of two adults and two or three children. Anything above that would be pretty cramped.
- As the host mentions in the listing, this RV is in a “boondocking state”. This means your electricity is very limited. There is a microwave that you cannot use and the 120volt wall outlets in the RV also do not work (or at least these weren’t functional for our rental). You must start a generator (which can be a bit finicky) if you want hot water. Power for any device you want to use (laptop or phone charges for instance) is provided by an extension cord running in through an open window, which splits out to three outlets. The open window of course allows cold/hot air, or insects to come in.
We found this to be very limiting and would list it as the biggest area for improvement on this listing and would perhaps make us question the “Luxury” aspect of this. We hope the host can sort this out and make it a much better experience.
- The bathroom and shower are small and the plumbing is limited. This is not the hosts fault in any way of course, it’s just important to realize it is an RV after all! :)
All in all we have no regrets staying here. If the hosts sort out the little issues we’d certainly recommend this as a great little budget option for the area!
