Cozy & comfortable—all you need!

We LOVED the Magic Bus!!!! Our stay was amazing. My only regret is my own bad planning that kept us from arriving sooner. It was the perfect cozy + comfortable + private “glamping” experience. The set up is very spacious and clean inside the bus and kitchen. The kitchen was very equipped and having the Coleman stove was great so we didn’t have to start a fire for making breakfast. We were so thankful for the abundance of dry fire wood left for us!!!! I was so surprised how nice and clean the toilet was, usually these kinds of outdoor toilets smell of (ammonia?? idk something gnarly) that makes me want to pass right out—but this one was not unpleasant at all. Really nice to have the shower stall for the shower bag and Denise even left it in the sun so it’d be warm for us. The bed + bedding were very comfortable, which I was crossing my fingers for because my boyfriend is more sensitive about his sleeping situations. Outside of the bus, the property is also very spacious and well kept. You can tell that Denise puts a lot of love and thought into it all. We very much appreciated the tiny details like the solar lights and binder with local recommendations. I especially enjoyed all of the cute gnomes. Such a happy place that I’d recommend to anyone!! My advice is to bring earplugs in case of rain, it didn’t bother me as a heavy sleeper but my boyfriend who sleeps more lightly found he needed them when it was raining at night with the sound of rain drops on the roof of the bus.

Good Bus Trip

I loved the cabin and the Bus theme it was very much a retro style. The bed was comfy and clean. The kitchen had plenty of utensils and cookware for us to use. Overall a great place to stay.
