Off-Grid Skoolie Retreat

TRUE OFF-GRID WILDERNESS ADVENTURE - NO shower, NO WiFi, NO cell service, wildlife encounters guaranteed!

Welcome to Sleepy Bear Skoolie, where you'll experience authentic converted school bus living in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. This isn't glamping - it's real off-grid living with bears, deer, and other forest neighbors as your daily companions.

Perfect For:
- Adventure seekers and nature lovers
- Digital detox enthusiasts
- Wildlife photography
- Families with children (bunk beds ideal for kids)
- Those who understand "off-grid" means OFF-GRID
- Couples + kids seeking unique experiences

IMPORTANT: This is a genuine off-grid experience - perfect for adventurous souls seeking digital detox and wildlife encounters. Not suitable for those expecting hotel amenities.

The Space
Your converted school bus sits deep in the Blaeberry wilderness, surrounded by towering mountains and ancient forests. Three private waterfalls await just a few meters away - perfect for that refreshing (and necessary!) wilderness bath.

Sleeping arrangements for up to 4 guests:
- One queen-size bed (comfortable for adults)
- One bunk bed (designed for children - limited headroom makes it tight for adults)

Amenities:
- Outdoor kitchenette with gas stove
- Cozy outdoor dining table and BBQ area
- Ecological composting outhouse
- Solar power for basic lighting only

Wildlife Welcome Committee: Expect daily visits from deer, raccoons, bears, pine martens, and yes, the occasional mouse indoors. This is their home - you're the guest!

PLEASE DO NOT LET YOUR DOG SLEEP ON THE BED.

What "Off-Grid" Really Means
- NO shower facilities - Use our pristine waterfalls and stream for washing (truly refreshing!)
- NO Limited water - 90L tank for cooking only - every drop counts
- NO Electricity - Solar power for basic lighting only
- NO WiFi or cell service - Complete digital detox zone
- NO Refrigerator - Cooler provided on arrival (bring ice).
- Wildlife encounters - Bears, deer, raccoons are your neighbors (bear safety essential!)
- Seasonal mosquitoes - Summer brings bugs! Come prepared with repellent

Bear Safety (NON-NEGOTIABLE):
- Never leave food, garbage, or pet food outside
- All scented items must be stored indoors
- Carry bear spray when exploring

Firewood: Provided for indoor stove only (bring your own for BBQ/campfire)

Wildlife: Mice may visit indoors (you're in the woods!) - part of the authentic experience.

There are no blinds; you will be awakened by the early morning light.

Not Suitable For:
- Those expecting hotel amenities
- Guests uncomfortable with wildlife
- Anyone needing reliable cell service
- Visitors wanting daily showers

Book only if you're genuinely excited about wilderness living with all its beautiful challenges!
