Great property, will need an suv or truck to get down the 2 track. Sink was a little difficult to work but mike explained it pretty quick. Overall great experience
The Bluebird provides a fantastic glamping experience just slightly off the grid

Just so other guests know, the bus has electricity, running water, air conditioning, heat, an indoor toilet and bathtub, kitchen sink with running water, microwave, hot plate for cooking as well as an outdoor shower with running water and propane gas grill. Thank you for your great review. You are welcome back to any of our Simple Lyfe Stays properties anytime.
Wanted a quick holiday getaway the bus was just right. It was clean, private and close to what we like to do. Near Mt biking, Baldwin ice cream and Ludington fireworks. We would rent again in the future

My husband and I stayed here for an anniversary get away for three nights and didn’t want to leave! The bus was super cute and clean inside! And had everything we needed! I was thankful for the step stool to get on the bed and for the fan! It was very peaceful and we would stay here again!
Nice place to get away from city life, directly in the middle of the forest. Listing and photos are accurate. Nice property manager. I think the place is best suited for couples or for staying with a friend. Overall had a great time and definitely made for a unique experience!

The bus was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The 2 track to get back to it was rough, I wouldn't try to take a car back there. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely rent it again. Mike was quick to respond and very accommodating..

Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
From the reviews it looked like it would be a cute little place for a quick weekend away. Once we arrived we had to clean the firepit out of cardboard and other stuff. The back of the bus where the bed is does not lock so security is not a guarantee. The outdoor shower and indoor shower were both freezing cold, no hot water. The final straw though was the spiders once you go to bed. We killed at least 12 and got maybe 3 hours of sleep. We stayed one night and found other accommodations in the morning.
