Listing and photos are accurate. Nice property manager. I think the place is best suited for couples or for staying with a friend. Overall had a great time and definitely made for a unique experience! ##### Aeriana A. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Tanya M. Jul 13, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy From the reviews it looked like it would be a cute little place for a quick weekend away. Once we arrived we had to clean the firepit out of cardboard and other stuff. The back of the bus where the bed is does not lock so security is not a guarantee. The outdoor shower and indoor shower were both freezing cold, no hot water. The final straw though was the spiders once you go to bed. We killed at least 12 and got maybe 3 hours of sleep. We stayed one night and found other accommodations in the morning. ##### Tanya M.
