Great hideaway

We had a great time staying at this property. It is hidden away and very private but still within a few miles of everything you need. Be sure to visit Makanda Village nearby. We also really enjoyed Garden of the Gods!

Perfect getaway spot

I enjoyed everything about my stay here. I had never stayed in any kind of RV before, but this one has all the comforts you could ask for. It's in a beautiful location, close to so many places of interest, and the price is very reasonable for what you get. I would love to stay here again in the future.

Cozy getaway

It was a little warm... but the camper was well-appointed in a quiet location with nature all around. We enjoyed grilling and sitting out on the deck and figuring out camper living. Lots to do in the area.

The Airstream does not disappoint

Fantastic place to stay. It is a cozy even romatic camper to stay in. Wife and I enjoyed our time there even the one day it rained. Just being in the camper was fun. I have always wanted to spend at least one night in an Airstream, it did not disappoint.

This Airstream is pristine and made our glamping trip so fun and comfortable! Soft bed, very plush towels and amenities for the shower, plenty of hot water, all your kitchen needs, huge firepit including sticks for smores!, bags, cards and games, awesome recliners to kick back and watch some TV, full trailer sound system plus bluetooth speaker and even cell phone cubes! The property is great and quiet with lots of visiting deer. Kayaks available and near all the great hiking at Ferne Clyffe and Giant City State Parks plus the Tunnel Hill trail. You will not be disappointed. Great place to connect with each other and nature!

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.
