Who wouldn't want to vacation in a converted shuttle Bus?! You don't have to be an avid outdoor enthusiast to enjoy what the Bus has to offer. With a mix of off-grid and modern features, this is the best of both worlds. Although limited Wifi is provided, Cell phone service is poor in this area, so it's a great opportunity to UNPLUG!
Couples looking for a cozy retreat, or Singles looking for a much-needed escape will enjoy this unique and charming converted shuttle bus! (Keep in mind that a shuttle bus is not a full-size bus ... it's shorter).
To be candid, this IS NOT a party place! We've lived here for several years, and enjoy it's peace. We strive to provide a safe and peaceful place for our guests (and us) to Relax and Enjoy Nature!
