Charming renovated bus

Very cute and secluded. Short drive to south Syllamore creek, town square and Blanchard springs. Very roomy for a school bus. If I had a bus I would renovate it the same way!!! Host is very pleasant and quick to reply and assist with requests. We will be staying with Fireside at other locations for sure!

Cute little get away!

This little bus was even cuter than described! Very clean, and comfortable. The area is peaceful and quiet. The only thing I’d say is that it’s a stretch to say it sleeps 4. There were only 2 of us and we slept very comfortably. I’d say 3 would be okay as long as they’re relatively small and at least 2 are comfortable sharing a full size bed. It was perfect for us.

Excellent little getaway!!!

First, the bus was very modern with lots of updates. Management thought about EVERYTHING! There was extra linen, blankets, coffee, coffee filters, etc. Toilet is camper style so it’s in the shower. However it’s not that bad, the shower is finished off with herringbone style tiling. The only issues we had was that it had been raining previously and the road was red clay so it was messy on our truck. The AC works well too. I was rather cold at different times. I would definitely come back again.

Unique place to stay

Nice clean “cabin”. Wasn’t as private/remote as pictures appeared but with the time of year, the other cabins right next door seemed empty so there wasn’t a lot of activity right around us. Nice unique place to stay. We really enjoyed our time.

Amazing Time

We had the best weekend at the Skoolie! Super clean, had everything we could have needed! Rode horses, ziplined, explored Blanchard Springs and caverns. My kids had the best time!! We already want to go back!! The Skoolie was the best experience!

Very unique experience. Directions were a little difficult but we weren't sure which way to go out of Mt View as we were not familiar with where Leslie was. Glad we stayed and would stay again.

The skoolie was the best! Tad bit on the cold side when we stayed, but a nice fire and warm inside.

We couldn't have picked a perfect place as the skoolie! Memories were made and that's all we could have asked for! Thanks Emily for all that you do to give people the perfect outdoor experience...with a little glamping.

Principals on the bus

We were their for only ten minutes and two huge deer came up wagging their tails like dogs. It was quite and very peaceful. We enjoyed the outdoor space with the pleasant temperatures. The bus contained everything we needed including tv and Wi-Fi.

What an awesome place

I was enchanted from the first time I saw the Emerald Gypsy Skoolie on VRBO. It did not disappoint. Cozy, private, quiet, clean as a whistle, wood provided for the fire pit along with well stocked indoors. Close to Mountain View activities. If you’ve never stayed in a Skoolie ( we had not) do yourself a favor and give this one a try! Big thumbs up from us!

I loved the email with all the things to do before we arrived! It was so relaxing! Private area! Very neat way to spend the 50th birthday. The host was very accommodating. Everything was just as listed! There were no surprises. No problems with the coolie schoolie.

Amazing!!!

This was our first family vacation. Me & my husband and our 2 little ones. It did not disappoint. 10/10 recommend!! It’s a little deeper in the woods than we realized but we weren’t upset about it. There were 3 or 4 houses within walking distant so we felt very comfortable. However there was enough woods between us that we still had our privacy. The town was so cute & we had so much fun exploring & seeing different sites. We would definitely stay here again.
