Skoolie Glamping

Fleu da Coop is part of a recent revival to convert retired school buses into stylish motorhomes. These unique homes on wheels are called skoolies (or schoolies) and provide a truly unique glamping experience.

Our skoolie is a 38 ft. converted 2003 Bluebird school bus and offers all of the amenities you would expect in a traditional vacation rental, but kicked up a few levels of coolness. The perfect fish camp for a guy's getaway to fish the Crappie Capital of the World, Weiss Lake. (Fish cleaning station and fish fry equipment on site too!)

Enjoy farm fresh eggs delivered to your door to cook an amazing breakfast. Enjoy local honey from right here on our farm. Visit with our donkeys, emus, goats and chickens for a fun farm experience.

We are on the lake, but not on deep water. (the lake is behind our house but not accessible by boat). The closest launch is less than 1 mile away on our road and we have plenty of easy and secure boat parking with power.

SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
Fleu da Coop has 1 Queen memory foam bed in the back with 1 twin memory foam bed in the cabin and 1 twin memory foam bed that doubles as a couch. (Sleeps a total of 4 max). There is a TV in the queen bedroom with two small nightstands with shelves, lights, plugs/usb ports.

COOKING ARRANGEMENTS:
The kitchen has a 2 burner RV size propane stove top. There is also a gas grill with side burner on the patio. Need to clean those fish you caught on Weiss Lake? There is also a fish cleaning station available to guests on property. The kitchen holds a wine refrigerator and a hotel size refrigerator/freezer combo. Small appliances on board include a microwave, keurig coffee pot, tea kettle, mixer, and all the pots/pans, cooking utensils, dishes and glassware needed to do basic cooking.

BATH ARRANGEMENTS:
Space is a premium on a school bus, so the bathroom is where you take it from. Fleu da Coop's bathroom is built around the school bus wheel well. This creative use of space makes for a very tight entrance, but a full stand up shower. There is a lav sink on the wall to brush your teeth and wash your face. The toilet is a standard household model and sits up on the wheel well. (We only mention this because some skoolies have composting toilets. This one does not.) Reality: if you're big on luxury bathrooms, this skoolie is not that.

TV & INTERNET SITUATION
Our skoolie has one large TV in the main cabin and another small TV in the queen bedroom. Both Smart TV's have YouTube TV Premium and get all the live channels including local stations, comparable to Dish 200 package. The farm has Starlink Internet and gets the best service possible for our rural area.

OUTDOOR LIVING SPACE
In addition to sitting on a 23 acre farm, Fleu da Coop has it's own patio area just outside the bus. The space includes a picnic table, large outdoor space heater for those chillier evenings, a gas grill with side burner, firepit area with Adirondack chairs and a canopy covered seating area. You are free to explore our 23 acre farm anywhere outside the gates that enclose our personal living spaces and barn.

SECURITY
We are on property 24/7 for any concerns. You will also have a unique code for your entry to the bus via keypad. There is a safe inside the bus to secure your valuables.

When booking, please keep in mind that it is a converted school bus so it is 6'2" high for head room and 9 feet wide. There are also steps to climb when entering the school bus and the bathroom/shower. This is a "glamping" experience and there is a picnic table, grill, seating and firepit for outdoor relaxing.

Skoolie Glamping offers its guests a water park. The family-friendly Skoolie Glamping also features barbecue grills, a garden, and local meal delivery service.

This Centre cottage is smoke free.
