About this property

The Park Bus is a retired Denali National Park shuttle. It has been extensively remodeled to provide a comfortable and memorable place to stay while enjoying your Alaskan adventure. Admire the panoramic view of the night sky while comfortably seated inside. Conveniently located between Fairbanks and the Chena Hot Springs Resort. The Park Bus is a unique Alaskan experience you will never forget.

Live like an Alaskan!!! This bus is equipped with an outhouse and a water dispenser. Showers are available for purchase down the road. The kitchen is fully stocked and we provide our farm fresh eggs, honey from our bees, bread, tea, and coffee.

The sleeping arrangements are a full size bed, a fold down couch for two, and a bench that can accommodate one more person, for a total of 5.

On our Alaskan homestead, the bus is located on a knoll with a open view to the north, which is perfect for aurora viewing. There is a fire pit with some fire wood provided, more available for purchase. There are foot trails on the property for snowshoeing, skiing, and berry picking. Private but easily accessible.

Amazing!

The host was super accommodating and responded to questions quickly. The actual property was amazing. The bus was extremely clean and so much fun. The amount of detail in every part (even the outhouse!) was so fun. Amazing experience all round

Magical!

Experienced here what no one staying at a hotel closer to town could have: clear skies, 3 nights of spectacular light show, peace and quiet, privacy, adventure! The inner parts of town have a haze that impedes sky views, just from the car exhaust and higher population of heat producers. (Did I mention thatour visit took place during the coldest snap in 15 yrs with -35⁰ highs and -48⁰ lows?) Our hosts have created a well-appointed getaway! They thought of everything, and though we dont have littles, its hard not to see how much thought was put into ensuring littles would be entertained on The Park Bus. Wsrm and cozy with plush bedding and a safe space heater (and dehumidifier to clear those icy windows). Snacks, games... everything you need. Couples and (small) families with adventurous spirits: dont even think twice. This place is not to be missed. Thank you, Allison. Youve created a memorable experience!

Wonderful place to see the Northern Lights!

We loved our 2 night stay in the schoolie! The kitchen was very useful and we made a few meals there. I do recommend bringing house shoes to walk around in as the floors are cold during the winter. The bed is one of the most comfortable beds we have ever stayed while vacationing. The decor, bedding, snacks, all were given great thought and much appreciated!
