Private Oasis

Loved the Bus Stop so much! The hosts were amazing and went above and beyond. The drive up is definitely slow going, but it's worth it. Loved the outdoor shower!!! Will be back.

Awesome!! Fantastic experience.

The passion, craftsmanship and care is evident everywhere. So many little details where thought about from hooks to hang your stuff, to smooth finishing of edges, to softness of the linens and more. Luxury, behemian funk, and function all there. Open privacy in nature. Host was very respectful of our privacy and yet was helpful and welcoming too. Technically not far away but the property is laid out as to give total privacy. Host texted us a couple times to offer food but never once invaded our oasis. Highly recommend.
