‘Nightly Bus’: A Magical Retreat, USA
“I can’t say enough about this wonderful wizard retreat! The kids and I loved it! The beds were super comfy, and we had everything that we needed! We had lots of fun playing wizards and a lot of room outside to do it! It was just as magical at night when the lights came on!”
Step aboard a spellbound escape in the heart of East Tennessee—a retired 1958 London double-decker bus, magically transported across the Atlantic and transformed into a whimsical hideaway. Greeted by an enchanting lamppost among towering trees, you’ll enter 230 square feet of custom-built wonder. The lower deck offers a cozy lounge with couches, a bar top for meals or wizard-themed games, and a display of potions and mystical curiosities. A well-equipped kitchen hides nearby, along with a secret “bathroom of requirement” concealed behind a sliding bookcase. Climb the half-spiral staircase to discover two charming bedrooms with queen beds, velvet curtains, and vintage details, plus modern comforts like Roku TVs, Blu-ray players, and climate control on both levels. Outside, the magic continues with a forest-side patio, a red phone booth, and even a rare 1962 blue classic car, perfect for unforgettable photos before you return to the Muggle world.
