Disliked: Cleanliness
From the reviews it looked like it would be a cute little place for a quick weekend away. Once we arrived we had to clean the firepit out of cardboard and other stuff. The back of the bus where the bed is does not lock so security is not a guarantee. The outdoor shower and indoor shower were both freezing cold, no hot water. The final straw though was the spiders once you go to bed. We killed at least 12 and got maybe 3 hours of sleep. We stayed one night and found other accommodations in the morning.

Incredibly relaxing

We spent our days here hiking and cooking over the fire, it is a perfect base camp if you need need more than a tent. Well equipped and very cozy!

So Amazing!

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary get away for three nights and didn’t want to leave! The bus was super cute and clean inside! And had everything we needed! I was thankful for the step stool to get on the bed and for the fan! It was very peaceful and we would stay here again!

Magic School Bus

The bus was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The 2 track to get back to it was rough, I wouldn't try to take a car back there. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely rent it again. Mike was quick to respond and very accommodating..
