About this property

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 alpacas, 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.

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, 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 internet with Weiss 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 7.5 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.

NE ALABAMA Glamping
We enjoyed a stay on a funky, renovated school bus, a much nicer one than I road tripped on 49 years ago when moving from Florida to Missouri. Sleeping accommodations were very comfortable. We used the stove, fridge, and kitchenwares which were very useful for our multi-night stay. We made a few campfires, grilled out, visited the animals, and cooked morning-fresh eggs from the farm. The location is very convenient to parks and lakes. The hosts were very pleasant and helpful in our making plans to eat out or choosing which outdoor adventure to take.

We had a lovely weekend staying here. The bus has been made-up into the cutest tiny home on wheels. The hosts were awesome, even taking the time to help us get our fishing poles assembled correctly. You can walk from the bus down to a dock and either fish or kayak on the lake. Wal-Mart was about 7 minutes away which was great for us, and we enjoyed eating at Tony's Steak Barn that's also about 6 or 7 minutes away. If you're looking for some fishing and relaxation this is good spot to be. Only wish we'd had more time to explore the surrounding areas and use the fire pit.

Great little skoolie
We enjoyed our stay in the skoolie. Meredith and her husband were very friendly and helped us with any questions that we had. We especially loved the farm fresh eggs that were delivered to us in the morning. I will say that the bathroom is definitely small. I am not sure if an older person who is not super mobile would do well in this space as you have to almost crawl to get in the shower. But other than that, it was great! It was a fun experience and I would recommend the skoolie if you are interested in a unique glamping experience!

About the host

Hosted by Booking Inquiry

Host profile image
Welcome to our little slice of lake life paradise. Gypsy Shoals Farm is our 23 acre farm located on beautiful Weiss Lake, Alabama. Currently we breed show quality ayam cemani and operate a small apiary to produce honey on our farm. We work from home and are available on property 24/7 to address any guest needs.

Why they chose this property

Fleu Da Coop is a rental adventure like no other. Whether you are visiting the lake for a fishing trip or some family fun, staying in our skoolie is a fun way to experience something different than your traditional vacay rental property.

Situated on our 23 acre farm, Flue Da Coop, got it's name because we breed and sell show quality ayam cemani nationwide. When we "go mobile" in our converted school bus, we "flew the chicken coop". Hence, the name of our bus.

What makes this property unique

It's a skoolie! But wait, there's more!
Enjoy petting, feeding and playing with our alpacas, emus, goats and chickens. We always try to deliver farm fresh eggs to your doorstep as long as the ladies are laying. Firewood for first night's campfire is provided. The kids will enjoy playing cornhole and feeding the animals when you're not out enjoying all the beauty of our lake community.
