The Old Skoolie Escape at Lake Hartwell w/ Pickleball Court

Stay in a Converted School Bus – Unique Tiny Home Getaway with Pickleball Court, Porch & Lake Access!

Looking for an unforgettable, unique lake escape? Welcome to our beautifully converted school bus in Hartwell, Georgia — the perfect tiny home retreat for solo travelers, couples, or anyone craving something a little out of the ordinary.

Nestled on a peaceful property just a 15-minute walk from stunning Lake Hartwell, this one-of-a-kind stay offers everything you need to unwind, recharge, and have some fun. Inside the bus, you’ll find a surprisingly spacious layout with one comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, and a thoughtfully designed living space that combines rustic touches with modern amenities. Whether you're relaxing indoors or sipping a drink outside on your private porch, you'll feel right at home in this creative and inviting space.

Step outside and enjoy access to a full-sized pickleball court — shared with just one other property — perfect for a friendly match. When you're ready to explore, the lake is just a short stroll away, offering opportunities for swimming, fishing, or simply soaking up the scenery.

This stay is ideal for anyone looking to experience tiny living in a big way — whether you're seeking a romantic weekend, a creative solo retreat, or a base for lake adventures. It’s not just a place to sleep; it’s an experience you’ll remember long after you leave.

Come stay in a school bus and rediscover the joy of simple, soulful living — with a few fun perks thrown in!

*To have the pickleball court completely to yourself, you will need to book our other home on the property*
