The Uncommon Experience

This is glamping with a sense of wonder. The Starry Night Magic Bus welcomes you into a playful retreat where art, nature, and coziness all come together. Spend your days exploring mountain trails, swimming in the river, or just settling into the peaceful rhythm of the property. Evenings are for fireside stories, stargazing from the hot tub, and curling up inside as the propane fireplace warms the space. It’s an escape that feels imaginative and memorable, perfect for couples or families looking to unplug and reconnect.

The Uncommon Accommodation

The bus interior blends simple comfort with a hand-painted, storybook atmosphere. A full bed and a small bunk bed (ideal for kids) make it a snug fit for up to four, while the propane fireplace keeps things warm year-round. While you won’t find running water indoors, you’ll have a private porta-potty nearby and seasonal access to an outdoor shower from May to October. Outside, you’ll find a picnic area, fire pit, river access, and shared use of the riverside hot tub. It’s glamping that’s low-fuss, warm-hearted, and a little bit magical.

What People Are Saying
★★★★★

“If you’re down for a different experience to make more memories than a boring hotel room, book this bus immediately! The photos don’t it justice. You’re right on a part of a river, which creates amazing relaxation sounds all day. You have your own outdoor area and fire pit, access to a large hot tub which is also along the river, and an outdoor shower that is so nice! Fully enclosed, hot water, on the river. The bus itself was so cute and the bed SO COZY. Not to mention the ideal location, you’re right on VT 108 which is where everyone’s traveling to anyways. Get the pizza from the place right across the street!”

“We loved our stay on the magic bus! It was a great glamping experience to be able to sit outside by the brook with the camp fire and picnic table without the hassle of all-out camping. The bus felt clean and even nicer than expected. The location was fantastic in Vermont and very easy to access off the main road, while still feeling private. We’d definitely come back!”

— Sara S

“Comfortable, clean and cozy! It was a fun experience. In a neat spot tucked in the valley behind Stowe. Beautiful drive to get there but doing it at night if you come from the Stowe side could be daunting. Fantastic pizza place right across the street and a brewery near by. Outside shower was clean and a neat feature next to the hot tub. Was quiet and safe feeling. We stayed with our little dog and we had an easy time finding spots to let him out and about. We did not use the fire area but it was a great set up to have a a night right where you stay. Would recommend and would stay again if we are in the area. Tyler was a very responsive and nice host!”

“The Magic Bus was truly magical and was a wonderful experience. My girlfriend and I enjoyed our stay and we definitely want to come back! Not to mention the jacuzzi and the beautiful lights around the bus and jacuzzi at nighttime that made it more of a fun vibe. Thank you Tyler!”

“Tyler provided everything you could possibly need on the magic bus. We brought out pup along and she loved exploring the beautiful grounds. You have direct access to the river with easy in and out of Stowe. We appreciated the more private space outside of town. Very easy to cook on the bus with pots and pans provided. It was truly magical.”
