We had an amazing weeklong trip to Yellowstone in Kelvin's van! He was super easy to communicate with and explained all the details of how to use everything in the van. A++! We would definitely rent again!

4x4 Sprinter Adventure Van

August, 2025

This campervan was immaculately clean when we picked it up. Everything felt well taken care of inside. There were a couple minor issues with the rig that did not impede our trip at all, but it was apparent that our hosts would take care of fixing them right away. The kids loved having a view out of the pop up. We loved having the solar power and generator. Pick up and drop off were efficient and easy. Thanks for a great trip!

Brigette was an excellent host and helped save our trip when our previous van cancelled on us just a few hours before our trip. Rocky ended up being a home away from home for our 6-day trip and we will miss him dearly. Thank you so much for your accommodation.
