Retreat, Stargaze, & Unplug on 10 Secluded Acres

Ever wondered what it would be like to stay in a school bus? 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 Night Owl sits on a 10 acre property surrounded by a tranquil forest far from road traffic and light pollution but a short distance to wedding venues, local breweries, nature preserves and state parks.
The Night Owl Bus is inspired by nature with minimal amenities at your convenience. The 30ft long by 8ft wide by 6ft tall open concept allows you to move freely inside and out without feeling restricted. Relax on the plush memory foam queen size bed or have a seat on the cozy couch while reading a good book. Enjoy your morning coffee or tea on your private deck out front, also a great spot to stargaze. The space is equipped with a mini split air conditioner/heater to keep you comfortable.

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

▪There is another rental (not pictured) in the woods further away from the bus that has its own door to the restroom at the bath house**

▪There is no tv, but the Starlink Wifi is fast and reliable.

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!
