This was the a great stay for us as a home base for our travels to the national parks, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, Pinnacles and Yosemite. Coming back to the skoolie after a day of hiking was just icing on the cake. It was a great experience.

Our nephew is obsessed with school busses. This stay and trip made his day. Everything was great. Very beautiful on the inside. Plenty of room, keeping the driving seat and steering wheel made it even better. The outside are was beautiful, and the neighborhood cat just made the stay that much better. I highly recommend staying here!

My first question before arriving was will the skoolie be comfortable in the hot temperatures (104-108). I did not receive an answer. However, experience shows that know it is not comfortable. At 4 o’clock this afternoon, the temperature inside was 100.Once inside on the first night, we found the smell of sewer gas overwhelming. Despite emptying the black tank of waste water and putting various tank treatments into the toilet, the sewer gas smell remains. The owners of the skoolie,, Hector and Luz, were very, very nice. This is really cute idea and the site is an interesting work in progress. I would only recommend staying here in spring and fall at the most. And communication with the manager was terrible. Every question I had was answered with a ridiculous stock email, which did not address the questions.

The bus was cool, and it was fun to stay in. However, we had issues with the toilet immediately upon arrival and for the first two days we were there. They did eventually fix it, but it was very inconvenient. Also, if you plan on visiting during Summer, you should be prepared for the bus to be warm during the day - even with the A/C and fans on. Other than that, it was fun, and we might stay again if we’re in Visalia in the future.

I've stayed in several Vrbos with compost toilets and this was the worst one I've ever stayed at. You could smell it as soon as you open the bus. You smelled it all night long while trying to sleep, lid was down, and the door was closed, even sprayed some spray down the toilet to help the smell. The bed was hard as a rock, wish it would have been more comfortable. It was some place unique I wanted to experience, but it is what it is.
