We loved our stay at Gloria! The bus is cozy and the outdoor area is roomy and sweet. The chickens were an extra fun added bonus!

Perfect unqiue family getaway

We absolutely loved staying in the bus! They had everything we needed and more. The bus was renovated beautifully and plenty of room for my family of three. My son couldn't get enough of the chickens and fresh eggs for breakfast was perfect. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Gloria

My girlfriend and I stayed at Gloria the Skoolie for 7 days and it was an amazing experience. We did a photoshoot, and got to spend some time with the goats. The bus had everything we needed and beyond. We were able to eat fresh eggs almost everyday, and give the chickens treats. Abbi and her family were the best hosts we could’ve asked for, response time was fast, they were super friendly, and very transparent to pricing for the different activities on the property. While we were there.. we were also able to experience a momma goat giving birth to two babies, very cool experience (not guaranteed, we just got lucky haha) The location was great, especially if it’s your first time in Washington. Downtown seattle was anywhere between 45 mins to an hour depending on traffic. Downtown Tacoma was about 15-20 mins away.. We even traveled up to Olympic National Park from the bus which was about 2-21/2 hours away. Staying here is totally worth it. I hope everyone gets to experience something like this one day. We will definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Abbi Rodes

Host profile image
I love hosting the beautiful people that come and stay on our farm. Whether they would like to interact with the farm through the add ons or rather stay in a quiet introverted space, we understand and just love to help however you would like to design your stay to be.

Why they chose this property

We live on 5 acres of farmland 15 minutes from downtown Tacoma and 13 minutes from the Washington State Fair. My grandfather was the person that stood up for farms to stay in this area and we get to benefit. You get to benefit!

What makes this property unique

Driving down a gravel road into the woods feels like such a quick escape and so close to Tacoma, Puyallup, Seattle, and Mount Rainier. It's a central location to urban and rural areas. We consider this space so unique as when you arrive it feels as if you are surrounded by the wilderness.
