The Vacationist Cabin -

Whether you come away with your family, the love of your life, or your best friend The Vacationist is the best off-grid cabin in Sussex to do it with. :)

"I can't rate this place more highly. Such a unique holiday with every last detail of the cabin thought through, and even better - beyond eco-conscious. The children had the time of their life - hiding in the secret bunk-bed room behind the bookshelf, making fires by the magical firepit, counting the pencils used to make up the kitchen surface. Aesthetically a joy to behold as well, nevermind the attentive hosts who made sure we had everything we needed."

Escape to a quiet corner of East Sussex for a romantic off-grid stay with a wood-fired hot tub, open skies and slow, unhurried evenings surrounded by nature.

The Hot Tub Trailer at The Vacationist...

Did you know we built the wood-fired hot tub at The Vacationist Cabin from reclaimed materials and an abandoned farm trailer?

From a right old mess to a beautiful and peaceful retreat for long soaks and star gazing, any time of year next to a magical private cabin.

The Skoolie isn't designed just for kids. It's an incredible place for couples to get away to as well.

Get your romance on, and have a couple of days just the two of you re-connecting, slowing down, and let nature and solitude work its magic.

"This place felt special. The Meadow dotted with oak trees; Hay-bales, woodland walks and nothing but bird song.

The bus itself had everything you need and was well kitted out with modern appliances, shower, sink, woodstove, dining area etc. You would think it might be small but it definitely wasn't.

For us, the best part was sitting late into the evening in the giant woodfired bath tub looking out over green fields and trees."

Escape to a romantic getaway in a converted American school bus with hot tub, starry skies, and countryside charm in West Sussex. Perfect for couples.

The Wood-fired hot tub is in and delighting guests at Skoolie Stays.

And it's not just a hot tub. Sited in an idyllic spot under the towering oak in front of the bus, with a giant bean-bag and outdoor cushions to lounge on, this is just a great place to be. Take shade from the sun, recline and read, take in the wildlife, snooze.

After a day exploring, relax your tired muscles in the deep tub. If your stay has super hot weather, you might just keep things cool in the day and use it as a cold plunge.

This is a serious upgrade to the wonderful large private space in your field outside the Skoolie.

Cook out, eat in. Cook in, eat out. Whichever way you fancy, we've got you covered at The Vacationist.

Use The Secret Woodland firepit cooking area just behind the cabin, or the field firepit. Or cook on gas in the kitchen.

You can always turn dinnertime into an event at the cabin.
