The bus was cute, a lot of reviews are complaining about bugs and spiders, but I don't know what people are expecting with a bus in the woods. There's also a lot of complaints about mould on the curtains, however the state is humid and I didn't see any mould, just rust stains on the curtains. Which isn't dirty, it just seems like par for the course. The bus was clean, there were plenty of tools to cook with and a fridge. The biggest complaint I had was the mattress is old and not very comfortable. Other than that the stay was what I expected.

A tent would have been better.
It was a mistake booking this bus. Read all the reviews first and believe the negative ones.

Never again
Upon arrival it was hotter inside the bus than outside. The smell of mold with some kind of heavily spayed fragrance to try to cover it was highly overpowering. You have to reach down and turn the valve to the toilet on and off everytime you use it. We tried to reach the owner who never contacted us but instead had a friend call us. Instead of offering a refund they offer 20% back. After the first night we were both sneezing and coughing the next day. Curtains have mold on them and look like they haven't been cleaned in years. Spiders dropping on my head while im sleeping. Hot water in the 3 ft tall shower only lasts about 1 minute. We managed to stay 2 out of the 3 nights we paid for after both getting sickly from the living conditions. Was a great concept just very poorly maintained. I will never waste anymore money at this place and wouldnt recommend anyone else to either.

Fun!
The camper converted from a Blue Bird bus was a refreshing and creative retreat from the humdrum! Good location near Claytor Lake!

Not good
The bus was filthy. Even worse so moldy we couldn't stay and had to find a hotel. My wife has asthma and the black mold on the curtains and around the bed area was too much. Spiders crawling all over the bus. I messaged the property manager 2 or 3 times before the cancelation deadline about traveling to and from Virginia tech and never heard back. The shower is so short and small . I guess it's ok if you're under 5' tall but I'm 6' so NG.

A bus adventure
The bus was awesome! Had everything we needed for a short stay. Comfortable bed, a nice fire pit, shower, toilet, and refrigerator. Lacking ample firewood scavenging. Suggest bring your own firewood. Recommend keeping your dogs away from woods as there were an abundance of brier prickers.

Blue Bird
This was truly a neat little gem. Perfect mix of comfort and camping when you don’t want to pitch the tent. Stayed here for VaTech parents weekend when hotels were out of control. It’s about 30 min from there. We’d definitely stay here again.
