Don't worry, you won't be driving in it!
We are offering the opportunity to stay on the back hill of our ten-acre rural property. You can go for walks around the pasture on our mowed trail or just sit and enjoy the beautiful Minnesota views.
The site is on a gravel road and you cannot see our house from where the bus is parked. While you can see the neighbor's house, it is still very dark at night and excellent for stargazing.
The bus will be disabled for guests; it will not start or move. While there are electric fans, AC, and a TV with DVD player, there is no electricity available (bring your own generator if you want).
There is a cassette toilet with instructions.

1 night at Bus on a hill
I enjoyed staying in the bus. It was very cozy! There was a little highest noise, but that went away for the most part after dark. Although I was close to the road, I felt total privacy. I highly recommend this place.

Weekend Trip to Bus on a hill
We biked from the twin cities out to “ the bus on the hill” and were thrilled with all communication before and during our trip, found the bus per their instructions no problem, we were appreciative of the bottled water available and the bug-less toilet Al, we had plenty of space for gear and comfortable bed to sleep on! The views were beautiful and was fun to have such a landscape view to wake up to! Pretty cozy table to enjoy dinner and a morning board game!
