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!

Unique Stay in the Forest
Nice place to get away from city life, directly in the middle of the forest. Listing and photos are accurate. Nice property manager. I think the place is best suited for couples or for staying with a friend. Overall had a great time and definitely made for a unique experience!

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..
