Air stream stay
Needed to be picked up and organized better. Outside could have left a better first impression. Camper was fine but needed to be cleaned better.

It has potential
We came to hike and that we did. The property itself could use a little help. I would say this is an ok place if you don't plan on spending time at the camper or using after dark. It was a cold when we arrived and had trouble with the lock due to the outdoor temp being 40ish. There are no lights outside of the camper and had to use the truck to shine lights to get everything functioning. Communication with the owner was hard, she did respond to email but it was hours after our outreach. (a contact phone number would of been nice if there are issues) The second night we had no water, it did appear someone came while we were away on Saturday, possibly to check after the lock situation. They had changed the hose and it was not reattached properly. We opted not to try and fix because of the risk to someone else property. *outdoor strand lights *you need to bring firewood *no stove There is a lot of potential for this little place and wish we could have enjoyed it a bit more.

Nice little retreat!
All in all we enjoyed our stay. Communication with the property manager was smooth. She was very responsive and helpful. Only real negative thing was lack of outdoor lighting. We purchased lanterns however and made it work.

This place is a great get-away
Myself, my daughter and her child stayed there to visit family for the weekend and needed a place where my daughter could spread out with her newborn. The airstream was everything we could ask for and more. we didn't get to appreciate the location but my next visit I will definately get out there to explore more. If you love camping and don't have your own RV than this is the place for you. Emily was always there to answer any questions I had for her.

We had a wonderful time. We went hiking and built a fire each night and enjoyed sitting outside next to the fire.

My Parents stayed over for their Anniversary.
My Parents stayed over in the Airstream Camper for their Anniversary. They had a wonderful time and the Camper Great. The camper has a large patio to entertain guests. The inside is clean and set up perfect for two people. I had always wondered what an Airstream camper was like and it did not disappoint.
