The space

The Sleepy Bear Skoolie — a real converted school bus, set deep in old-growth forest, woken by morning light and the sound of the nearby river.

Sleeping for 4 people:



1 Queen bed

1 bunk bed (ideal for kids — narrower for adults)



Equipment:



Outdoor kitchenette with gas stove

Outdoor table and BBQ area

90L water tank for cooking

The private waterfalls steps away also serve as a natural swimming hole.

No WiFi, no cell service, no shower, no curtains — just the forest, the river and the starry sky.

Wildlife & bear safety:

You are staying in active wildlife habitat. The following rules are mandatory:



No food or waste left outside

Scented items stored at all times

Bear spray strongly recommended



⚠️ The Skoolie lives and breathes with the surrounding forest. Small four-legged visitors occasionally make an appearance. If you need a sterile and controlled environment, this is not your place. If you love raw, authentic nature — welcome home.

Mosquitoes possible in summer — bring repellent.
