This skoolie started out as a school bus from North Carolina. After its conversion it traveled all over the United States and ended up here in the great northern Catskills of NY. She is now taking some time off from traveling so you can experience what life would be like living in a converted school bus. You just might fall in love with the skoolie life style. Come experience skoolie life in this awesome converted Bluebird school bus. The bus has been upgraded to give a wonderful and comfortable glamping experience. The kitchen boasts plenty of counter space to prepare food, many custom-built cabinets for amble storage, a mini refrigerator with seperate freezer, double stove top burner, microwave, toaster and coffee maker(coffee, coffee filters and sugar are supplied). There is a large dining table with comfy seating for 4. Winter rentals: There are two heating systems in the skoolie. An electric heater to keep the chill off and a wood stove to get it toasty warm. Two pairs of snowshoes are provided. The slack line and fire pit are both usable in the winter too. Summer rentals: Firepit with s'mores essentials provided, 2 person hammock, outdoor seating, flower gardens. Summer rentals can find comfort knowing there is air conditioning for those hot days/nights. The skoolie can easily fit 4 people who each get a twin size bed arranged in bunk bed fashion with pillow top mattress pads and fresh linens. The bathroom has hot running water for showering, hand washing and dishwashing (there is no sink in the kitchen area). The bathroom has an indoor toilet and there is also a composting outhouse. Some parts of the skoolie just couldn't be changed, the bus was left with the original cockpit. You enter through the original folding school bus door and can take a seat at the drivers seat, now converted into a desk for writing, drawing or gazing out the huge front window. To keep this vacation a way of connecting with nature and each other and give it the camping/glamping experience, there is no television or Wifi. Instead the bus is stocked with games, books, cooking supplies, and musical instruments. Enjoy some tunes on the retro vinyl player with bluetooth capabilities and our large record collection. We strongly encourage everyone to take this time away to unplug and disconnect in our forest, country setting. This space is great for enjoying your morning coffee with the birds, eating lunch on the comfy outdoor furniture, unwinding with a relaxing meditation session, or star gazing with a glass of wine. Don’t let the fun be contained to just the skoolie, as the land has much to offer as well. Enjoy a camp fire nestled among the flower garden. There are 4 acres of woods to explore, a slack line for testing your strength and balance, an awning with outdoor furniture, and a 2 person hammock for afternoon snoozes. You will be sharing the properties 4 acres with a Yurt rental. It is quite far from the skoolie and will not intrude on your privacy! Larger groups can book both yurt and skoolie and have full rein of the property.

Beautiful stay at the yurt!

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

Absolutely loved our stay at the yurt. Even with the rain and getting our truck stuck (thanks Darren for helping us out) in the mud the yurt is one of my fav places I’ve stayed at. Loved just relaxing, hearing the rain on the yurt, while listening to the doors. Occasionally jumping on the trampoline. Nothing compares to the yurt.

Catskill Skoolie. Luxury Glamping

The skoolie is cool-ie! Went for a solo winter retreat and it was lovely! The hosts were very responsive to a few issues that arouse, and thoughtful on the forefront about amenities and "extras" like a record player and games. Firewood was chopped and full enough for a cold long-weekend, and a fire was even going to make sure I had a warm arrival. I mostly stayed inside, but the land looked fun to explore and the hammock, trampoline and outdoor things make a great place to be in warmer weather also. Great experience! Thanks, Darren!

We loved staying here. Darren was a great host and was available for help. We used the yurt as a home base for daily excursions but found ourselves wanting to spend more time inside the yurt. Loved it.

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

Perfect site for a nature retreat with friends! Darren and Jen were immensely helpful and responsive to our many questions, very gracious hosts. Taking care of the chickens was a highlight, they are well-behaved and so cute! For our party of 8 we ended up bringing an air mattress for which there was plenty of space. Clean and well-stocked, and we loved all the musical instruments provided. Tops grocery is only a five minute drive so an easy place to pick up any last minute supplies. Nice land for taking a forest walk, and the hammocks were cozy. Didn't get a chance to use the firepit due to nighttime rain unfortunately but did get to use the grill. Truly yurt-phoria!

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

I absolutely LOVED our glamping stay at Jen and Darren’s yurt. The four of us and one pup enjoyed our first fire of the season in the wood burning stove which had no problem warming up the space. We cooked several meals on the simple electric burner inside as well as on the grill outside. Everything is very well thought out and beds were comfortable. The photos don’t do the space justice. I absolutely recommend this sweet spot 10/10.

Refreshing!

With pets ·

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

We had such an amazing time reconnecting as a family with some much needed quality time away from life demands and distractions! The yurt and experience was way better than we hoped, and are already making plans to return, as we're already experiencing "yurt withdrawal". Darren is a wonderful host! Helpful and welcoming, as well as easily reachdable and responsive. Darren, look out for a flood of reservation requests from our friends as well! Best, Jenn and Julio Padilla

Yurt Getaway

With kids ·

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

We had a wonderful time (family of 5) at the yurt site - hanging with the chickens, jumping on the trampoline, grilling out front, relaxing on the hammocks, making s’mores at the fire pit, and kicking it back with some vinyls and cards at night. Jen and Darren were great hosts, and very responsive. The only downside was the sound of construction on the new neighbor’s land…and that was out of our hosts’ control.

Magic yurt life

Private Yurt Glamping. Catskills NY

There is a lot of love in this place. The hosts have gone above and beyond to create a warm, welcoming, creative and homey space, and all their directions were helpful and clear. It was 20 below zero the weekend we stayed here, but the crackle of both the wood stove fire and the record player kept us cozy. We made a campfire and watched the clouds move across a full moon while we searched the constellations for a comet from hammocks strung nearby. We cooked, played drums and piano, and completely unplugged. It was magical.
