If you are looking for a sterile, boring hotel room experience this is not the space for you. Carrie’s little camper named “Gus” has a very vintage and lived in feel. It was a little smaller than I expected but we made do with the space and we all had a comfortable night’s sleep. My teenage boys and I slept in the trailer and my husband slept in the van parked near the driveway. An outside cushion and bedding was offered, but we came prepared to set up an extra space in case it was cramped. Keep that in mind when traveling with more than 2 people.
Carrie was a pleasure to talk to. She was kind enough to offer us an espresso and give us a tour of her many pet birds and her interesting and eclectic hand made and vintage trinkets. She’s quite a talented artist!
We had everything we needed to BBQ our dinner and eat in while watching Netflix. The outside bathroom and shower were set up in a place where we felt our privacy was maintained. It felt like a relaxed urban camping experience located in a convenient part of town. We enjoyed the quiet neighborhood full of people walking their dogs.
One thing I wanted to point out so others don’t make the same mistake: Gus is a scent free space which includes essential oils (which I use daily) When I read that initially, I mistook that to mean harsh chemical fragrances which my family does not use. It means all strong fragrances, including natural ones. Oops! Sorry Carrie!
