Like the movie Expedition Happiness, this unique tiny house is converted from a school bus. Nestled among tall trees on the edge of the woods, this rustic, cozy cabin on wheels is located in a peaceful neighborhood where you can enjoy birdsong, chickens roaming the yard, and the sounds of happy children playing. No contact necessary. The bus features an easy-to-use wood stove that keeps it warm during the winter, along with fans to help keep it cool in the summer. Please bring your own firewood. A composting toilet is provided in the half bathroom. The kitchen includes a propane cooktop, a double-basin sink, and hot running water. A large bathtub with a shower head is tucked beneath the tabletop for a unique, space-saving design. A comfortable queen loft bed is accessible by a short ladder, and a futon couch provides additional sleeping or lounging space. Conveniently located near downtown Olympia, the property offers easy access to local trails and world-renowned hiking opportunities. It's an ideal retreat for nature lovers and anyone interested in sustainability and tiny home living.Like the movie Expedition Happiness, this unique tiny house is converted from a school bus.
