Well here is your opportunity to retreat and unwind from your everyday activities and experience an exclusive, modernized school bus in the heart of the Hill Country.

▪The private air conditioned/heated bath house is about 25 steps from the bus with access to a large shower sink and flushing toilet.

Amazing get away, but close to everything.
I had an amazing experience staying on a remodeled bus in the countryside! It was the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to town. The bus was cozy and full of character, offering a unique and memorable stay. While there was no TV, the reliable WiFi made it easy to stay connected when needed. The quiet surroundings and creative setup made it a truly special getaway. I’d definitely stay again!

Ideal Pedernales Falls Area Respite
The Night Owl bus is an ideal getaway in the Pedernales Falls area to base out of for day trips in the general area. I have stayed here twice now and perfectly enjoyed the accommodations each time. Planning to come back soon and bring the family with me.

My week in the bus
This is a fun, unique property, just the way I like them. It is slightly rustic in that you have toilet facilities that you have to go outside to get to, but this is part of the adventure. Communication was excellent. It definitely added to the social media posts. I'd stay there again.

Easier than staying in Austin!
We'd definitely stay at the Night Owl again. Great option for a chill stay if you've got stuff to do in South Austin. Just as described.

Cozy aesthetic
All amenities are met, the location was secluded but close enough to some wonderful local businesses that are worth exploring! My partner and I would highly recommend you booking a stay here!
This is s great little space to get away and clear your mind. Super cool setup, very spacious for being a bus. If you don’t want to just sit around and chill there are Quite a few things to do that are close by as well
