Our trip with Goose was perfect. The van was comfortable, well-equipped and easy to drive. Zachary went above and beyond to accommodate the logistics of our trip. We’re looking forward to next time.

Goose and Zach are the best! We had an amazing time camping in Ukiah with our pup. Zach did a really great job guiding us through how to work the van and any small things like needing to put a little extra oomph into closing the back door or how to swivel the passenger seat. Pick up and drop off we’re so smooth and easy. Remember to bring your own sleeping bags/comforter and pillow. The heat wasn’t currently working, but we did use the heated mattress pad on a particularly cold night, which was super nice. Overall, Goose is a beginner-friendly option for folks looking to do some adventuring.
Zachary’s answer
Glad to have you three. Yeah most people bring their own bedding, but there's a bedding option if you'd rather not. Also, the cabin heater was/is working, I just thought it wasn't really cold enough to be worth using so I advised for the heated mattress pad. Hope to see you all again for Alaina's birthday!

Q.Can I leave a car at pickup.
A.
Yes. The Goose has three locations Walnut Creek where you can pet our horses, San Francisco where I have a smallish garage, and Roseville. Let's discuss the particulars, it's possible.
