About this property

Mountain SchoolBus w HotTub

Escape to our newly renovated school bus, where rustic charm meets modern. Nestled amidst breathtaking mountain views, this unique retreat offers an unforgettable experience. Relax in the private hot tub under the stars, cozy up by the fire pit with your favorite drink, and enjoy the serene beauty of nature all around you. Inside, you'll find all the comforts of home in a thoughtfully designed space that preserves the bus's vintage character.

Step into our beautifully renovated school bus, where every inch is designed for comfort and functionality. As you enter, you'll find a cozy living area featuring a twin-size daybed, perfect for lounging or extra sleeping space. The clever design includes a flip-up dining table, ideal for meals or work, and a flip-down TV for entertainment that stows away when not in use.

On your left, the kitchen awaits with all the essentials: a fridge/freezer combo, a sink, and a microwave, making it easy to whip up a quick snack or a full meal. Across from the kitchen, on the right side, you'll discover the bathroom and closet area. The bathroom is thoughtfully equipped with a sit-down shower for your relaxation and a small water closet housing the toilet.

As you continue towards the back of the bus, you'll find a private sleeping area concealed behind a partition wall. This space features a comfortable full-size bed with built-in nooks perfect for storing your cell phones and other essentials. Every detail in this bus has been carefully considered to provide a unique and comfortable stay, blending the charm of a converted school bus with the convenience of modern amenities.

Guests will enjoy exclusive access to the entire school bus, designed for your comfort and convenience. Inside, you'll have full use of all the amenities, including the living area, kitchen, bathroom, and private sleeping quarters.

Step outside, and you'll find even more to enhance your stay. Relax and unwind in the hot tub while soaking in the stunning mountain views, or rinse off under the outdoor shower after a day of adventure. The fire pit is perfect for evening gatherings, where you can toast marshmallows or simply enjoy the warmth under the stars.

Additionally, free parking is available right next to the bus, making it easy to come and go as you please. Whether you're here for relaxation or exploration, you'll have everything you need for a memorable stay.

Rest assured, I'm just a short drive away—less than 15 minutes from the property. If you encounter any issues or need assistance during your stay, I'm readily available to help. Whether it's a question about the amenities or something unexpected, I'm here to ensure your experience is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Your comfort is my priority, and I'm always close by if you need anything.

Our school bus retreat is perfectly situated for both adventure and relaxation. Located just 2 miles from some of the best hiking and mountain biking trails in the area, you’ll have easy access to nature right at your doorstep. For those looking to explore more, downtown Asheville, with its vibrant arts scene, eclectic dining, and unique shops, is only a 15-minute drive away. The famous Blue Ridge Parkway, offering stunning scenic drives, and the historic Biltmore Estate, with its grand architecture and beautiful gardens, are also just 15 minutes from your stay. Enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion with convenient proximity to all that Asheville has to offer.

Gorgeous views, nicely renovated, adorable skoolie

Lisa and Aiden were amazing and accommodating/responsive hosts during our stay at the school bus. The views were amazing, the hot tub felt great, and the bus was beautifully renovated. The few small mishaps that occurred during our stay were quickly addressed by both hosts, and despite those small issues, we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay because of their accommodations and responsiveness. I highly recommend staying at any of their 5 properties on their land - all which are beautiful and unique in their own special way.

Great getaway

It was a different getaway for sure. We were tired of staying in the same old cabins we had before. This was a unique experience for us and we highly enjoyed it! The host was great and checked in on us every day to make sure we were ok. The only downside and the reason for a 4 star rating is that the hot water did not last long at all. It made showering a chore. Other than that, everything else was great!

It was so fun, definitely wait till it’s warm though the bus was pretty chilly all night despite us blasting the little heater.

Bus Glamping

Hot tub was awesome. Definitely more glamping than rv vibes. Overall good time but bring whatever you think you might need for comfort. And short hot water access.
