About this property
Vintage 1962 double decker bus on the creek, gas grill, fire pit, short walk to pool and playground, sleeps 4-5.
Originally used as a tour bus in Europe in 1962, staying in Big Ben is like traveling to another time and place. Fully converted in true London flair, you journey into the telephone booth to find a full bathroom and store your food in the Union Jack flag fridge. The kitchenette also has a convection microwave oven, sink, and coffee maker, as well as a dinette and lounge area. "Mind the gap" on your way upstairs where you discover a king sized bed, a twin over twin bunk bed, and the coziest reading nook up front that is perfect for curling up with a book or for a sleeping area for a small child. To ensure you have just as much fun outside as in, there is a private fire pit, gas grill, picnic table, and chairs, as well as access to all the on site amenites. Big Ben is sure to transport you into vacation mode whether you’re imagining yourself cruising the London streets, on a magical mystery tour, heading down a long & winding road, or in strawberry fields forever.
