Experience a Unique Stay in a Converted School Bus in Asheville, NC

Sleeping on a bus just got a lot more comfortable.

Travelers looking for a little zen in a tiny space can find just that by boarding a school bus turned tiny home nestled in the Black Mountains just outside of Asheville, North Carolina.

“This is not your typical hippy bus,” the owners of the adorable tiny home describe in their listing. Consequently, just taking one look at the photos of the property proves they are right.

From the outside, the baby blue bus looks like any other mode of transportation. However, upon stepping inside, guests will find a delightfully decorated space that comes with every amenity they may need to ensure an excellent stay amid nature.

The bus features an extra-comfy full-size bed surrounded by windows to let natural light in. Moreover, the home comes with a working sink for guests to use to clean dishes or wash up, along with a cozy sitting and eating area right in the middle. It is also equipped with electricity and a coffee maker to ensure guests can enjoy their mornings with a cup of coffee while taking in the scenic views.

Support a special project during your stay

But there’s one more special reason to consider this bus for your getaway.

“This bus is a special project,” the owners describe. “We are using the funds generated from guests like you to sponsor an artist residency here at Sparklebark during July and August.”

The owners further explain that they are collaborating with the group SONG, a multi-issue southern justice movement whose membership base is largely LGBTQ southerners and people of color.

“The goal is to provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring retreat to LGBTQ southern artists, free of charge,” the owners said. “By staying in our gorgeous bus, you will be helping to provide opportunities to folks who would otherwise not have the chance to come on retreat to a quiet place and let their creative juices flow.”
