Skoolie: A school bus that has been converted into a tiny home. Come stay in our 1992 Thomas school bus that we converted into a beautiful tiny home and now share with all of you in our backyard. It has running water, electricity, a king sized bed, a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. We installed cedar ceilings throughout the bus which makes it feel (and smell) very cozy. We have YouTube & Instagram if you're interested in the build, @Colaventures*Please read the entire listing before booking* Skoolie: "A school bus that has been converted into a tiny home." Come stay in our 1992 Thomas school bus that we converted into a beautiful tiny home and now share with all of you in our backyard. It has running water, electricity, a king sized bed, a tiny kitchen and a bathroom. The front couches double as two twin sized beds. We installed cedar ceilings throughout the bus which makes it feel (and smell) very cozy. We have YouTube + Instagram if you're interested in the build, @Colaventures QUIRKS The bus isn’t insulated like a house, so the temperatures can be extreme in the summer and winter. The mini wood burning stove in the bedroom will keep you very warm in the winter, and we’ve also provided an electric space heater and extra blankets to ensure your comfort. In the summer we provide to fans and several of the windows have screens to move the air through. There is also an AC unit in the bedroom. The bus is in our yard so you'll have access to our patio space, outdoor fire pit, BBQ and the kids toys that they leave around the yard :) The toilet is a hassle-free, water-free Natures Head composting toilet that is very easy to use. Here are some tips we'd like you to know: We all sit to pee here. Don’t put anything other than toilet paper down the hatch. Please be SO CAREFUL not to get any TP into the front pee holes, or push any TP towards the pee area below when you close the flap, it clogs the pipe and requires a devastating clean up job for us. We appreciate your diligence in this matter. PRIVACY The bus is located in our backyard, with the patio in between our house and the bus. The back side of the bus is surrounded by our huge laurel bush, which gives a private feel while on the bus. We will be right across the yard to answer any questions you might have, get you anything you need or just talk Skoolie.

The bed was wonderful! The bus had all the basics needed for our stay and the garden was lovely.

Fun stopover lodging between Olympic and Seattle for my son and me. Super cozy, clean and creative space. Enjoyed my coffee in the backyard garden and close to a delicious bakery. Bed was very comfortable.
