I've been home for a week and I've had daily daydreams about our stay in the M&M trailer. I was drawn in by the photos of Fern and wondered if we might rough it in a trailer to be able to stay in such a wonderfully animal-filled yard. No need--the airstream is just as nice as a hotel, only cozy! We loved sitting outside and petting cats, visiting the pups and pig, and being shown snails and slugs by sweet young people. I watched as the chickens literally flew the coop. Those birds made me laugh with their feathered legs--like they were wearing pants :D Marcella took their exit in stride. It's clear she loves to create warm, beautiful spaces. A really kind family who were friendly and welcoming but also gave plenty of privacy. The airstream has its own key and it's easy to waltz through the yard gate and find a comfortable place to relax. Plenty of outlets for recharging phones, iPads, etc.

We had great weather but even if it had been hot or chilly Marcella has the airstream well-equipped with heaters and a/c. We used the heater at night since it dipped into the 40s or 50s and it was perfect. Other reviewers warned that the water heater was small and Marcella also warned about it. We didn't really have an issue, though it might have gotten lukewarm once when I dilly dallied. The shower is a stall that seems original to airstreams--compact and efficient (just an FYI for tall folks). The shower head can be removed to be handheld. The bathroom has a heavy curtain for a door, so it might be a little less private than home. But if you're traveling with people you're close to it's not an issue at all.

For those who are willing to plan ahead, I totally recommend a car2go membership. The airstream is just inside the "home area" for the carshare program and since it's a residential neighborhood we always found our car2go parked exactly where we had left it the night before. Registration takes about a week and a card has to be mailed. A local friend tipped me off in advance and I was really happy to be able to zip around on our own schedule!

Marcella's toffee was as delicious as promised and she had my extra toffee order ready for me fresh and just in time for our departure. What a dreamlife--so hard to be in a Brooklyn winter when all I want to do is go back to this airstream in Austin!
