The Riviere Skoolie

A one-of-a-kind lakefront getaway, thoughtfully created inside a full-size school bus and set just steps from Lake Granbury. The Riviere Skoolie pairs a memorable place to stay with the comforts that make it easy to settle in: a private two-person hot tub, a separate bathhouse, kayaks, a propane grill, and your own outdoor space near the water.

It’s designed as a romantic escape for two, with room for a small family to join the adventure. Enjoy coffeeby the lake, take the kayaks out from shore, or spend a quiet afternoon on the three-hole putting green. If you’d like to fish, bring your own rod and tackle. Guests have even landed some surprisingly large catfish from the shoreline. In the evening, grill dinner, relax in the hot tub, then gather by the fire with the lake just beyond.

Inside, the school bus has been converted into a comfortable, colorful retreat with a queen bed and two twin beds, heating and air conditioning, WiFi, a smart TV, and a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, sink with hot and cold running water, and utensils for coffee, snacks, and simple meals. All three beds share one open-concept sleeping space, so it works best for a couple or a small family who are comfortable sharing the room.

Your private full bathroom is in a separate, roofed bathhouse just steps from the bus. It has a hot rain shower, hand sprayer, vanity with hot and cold water, teak bench, flushing toilet, towels, restored lockers, and an interior lock. The bathhouse is fully private and roofed, but because it is an outdoor structure, it is exposed to outside temperatures and is weather-resistant rather than completely weatherproof.

The Skoolie sits in a private, well-kept outdoor area with its own parking, privacy fencing, and room to unwind. The bus, hot tub, bathhouse, firepit, and designated outdoor living areas are reserved for your stay. Other Modern Nomads accommodations are nearby, so you may occasionally see other guests around the larger lakefront property. Your hot tub and bathhouse are never shared.

Historic Granbury Square is about 10 minutes away, with restaurants, coffee shops, wineries, boutiques, live music, and seasonal events. Or stay close, enjoy the water, and let the day unfold at its own pace.

This is elevated glamping with character, comfort, and a direct connection to the outdoors. Granbury gives you plenty to do. The Riviere Skoolie gives you permission not to do any of it.

    Amazing place. Was great just before our son started Kindergarten. Every day he said it was the best day ever. Never felt crammed with 4 of us. Shower and bathroom area are huge. Tall fences for privacy and magnet shades to block out sun or make it more private. Kayaks are great we also brought a blow up paddleboard. Water was only about 2-3’ deep most of the creek area we explored. So kids could hop out and swim around comfortably. We explored the creek up to the Brazos, went to Big Rocks in Glen Rose, cooked most our meals on the grill and grill burner when we didn’t eat out, although there is a hot plate and some cooking appliances inside. Didn’t have an issue with ants. Saw some by kayaks but no problems. Flies in August were a lot as expected. Might bring bug salt gun or electric swatter next time. Two other properties next to this are by same owners and can be all rented together for large events. The kids already want to go back. So I’m sure we will be there again.

    This was a great place to stay in addition to the main house next door. The beds were comfortable and the bus was a hit. The outdoor bath was a huge hit. Fun place to stay.

    My family lives in Granbury and we decided to have a fun staycation weekend in town. We enjoyed our stay here and absolutely loved the perfect spot by the water. What you see in the pictures is exactly what you get. Awesome place, beautiful scenery, and very convenient to town. Perfect place for those who enjoy the glamping lifestyle! We will stay again at some point!

    I had three boys with me and we intended to keep things simple - bbq, fish, fire, and kayak. We had everything we needed and our host was responsive and lovely. Can’t wait to come back.

    Brought my boys for a quick getaway before school started. They loved staying on a bus, kayaking and fishing, and showering outside. Everything was clean and well thought out. Host was very helpful and responded quickly to questions. Will definitely recommend!

    My husband and I loved our stay here! It was so unique, very clean, and so comfortable. The bus is well stocked with everything, the beds are soft, and the bathroom was very nice. Lots of bugs, but that’s to be expected and they weren’t crazy. My only note is that I wish there was more separation between the other rental properties. Window covers were provided, but the area was blocked off by a short wall and people at the property next to us often were close. It didn’t feel private. Other than that, it was amazing!

    The bus was the perfect size for my 4 day personal retreat. Very creatively and beautifully appointed. The location is amazing and the serene treed lot beside the lake was perfect for resetting and rejuvenation. The outdoor shower and baths room was secure and a nice experience. They have everything you need. The WiFi was strong so I could easily work remotely. I will be back.

    My 7 year old daughter and I loved our stay. It was just what we needed to get away from our busy lives. We were tech free for most of the trip so the bus brought out lots of creative ways to interact. We played bus driver and passenger. The games inside and out of the bus were a plus! Uno is my fav! The bus had many amenities. We loved kayaking and sitting on the patio in the evening. Not to mention the gorgeous fruit trees on the property. The outdoor bathroom was fun and outdoorsy. This was definitely a great place to stay!
