Welcome to the Bee Bus – A Cozy One-of-a-Kind Tiny Home with Mountain Views
Welcome to the Bee Bus – A One-of-a-Kind Retreat
Escape to the serenity of the Bee Bus, a lovingly converted school bus turned cozy tiny home, perched high on a mesa just 15 minutes south of town. Surrounded stunning 360-degree mountain views, this peaceful hideaway offers a unique stay for travelers looking to unwind, reconnect with nature, and enjoy a touch of adventure.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable stay:
• A queen bed and a cozy twin loft bed
• A full bathroom with shower
• A fully equipped kitchen
• Thoughtful touches throughout to make you feel right at home
Whether you're sipping coffee on the steps while watching the sunrise or stargazing through the bus windows at night, the Bee Bus offers charm and tranquility you won’t find anywhere else. There is also a hot tub on the deck, and a sitting area with a fire pit.
The Bee Bus is located on the host’s private property, but you’ll enjoy your own driveway and private space. Please note: the host's two friendly dogs roam the property and love to greet guests—expect a warm (and wagging) welcome! You will also enjoy fresh chicken eggs upon arrival.
Come experience the magic of the Bee Bus—where school bus nostalgia meets modern comfort in the heart of the mountains.
