I was in the Monroe area for ULM’s homecoming and was happy to be able to book Bruiser again. I’ve stayed once before, and with friends from Ruston to Monroe, this was the perfect spot. Kiroli park is only a few minutes away and is a great place for people and pets to get a little exercise, and there are tons of dog-friendly restaurants and shops a short drive away. Bruiser feels very cozy and safe, and the view of the Ouachita is so relaxing. I will definitely be back!

Very unique place to stay and great views of the river. My dog and I stayed for an overnight trip through Monroe. Very pet friendly and cute outdoor area perfect for the evening time with the outdoor lighting. What a great use of the school bus, nicely done ! Carolyn B

My brother and I met in the middle for a trip down Memory Lane, and we’re thrilled with our little landing spot! The skoolie is so unique, and we loved the location along the Ouachita - will definitely be back!

Perfect quaint spot

Gave me the opportunity to show grand kids how cool their grandfather is. They stopped by and had breakfast in the court yard setting and they went crazy. If you are looking for unusual VRBO, safe, clean and comfortable this is the place. Great view and over the top cool for 72 year old grandfather.

The scenery was so great! It just shows how much love went into this bus. It's way larger and functional, than the pictures let on. Loves every detail of our stay. I can't wait to go again!

It was so nice in nature. It's comforting to watch the water and eat at the little area outdoors. The bus has everything you could possibly need. Plenty of room to cook or get something from the store. I personally enjoyed the details of the bus and the view. I've really never seen anything like it. That's exactly what I wanted on my trip! Thank Bruiser for making stay a lovely one.

Appreciate all the extras snacks water condiments shampoo etc. And dog friendly doesn’t get much better.

Newly remodeled schoolie bus with everything we needed. Comfortable bed with nice linens. TV with DVD player. Wifi. The property is being improved by the owners to make the space more enjoyable and spacious. Dock for fishing or relaxing. Very close to city center restaurants shops etc. Downtown is pretty desolate on Sunday and Mondays but also made it very enjoyable to avoid crowds for a overnight or two quiet get away.

The coolest little bus ever. They have thought of literally everything that could make Bruiser the Bus the perfect stay! We will be staying here again on our next trip to visit family.

The bus is a unique place in a great location! Lacy is a great to work with - so nice. Makes for the perfect get away spot! Can’t wait to go back again.

What a great, unique spot. The bus has everything you need along with a pretty view of the river. Easy check in and out.

Learning the area since we have a child starting college at ULM in the Fall. We love staying at unique places & this one was one for the record books! So awesome! For those of us that grew up riding buses to school this is a must!

My husband and I were very impressed by the bus conversion! I loved the soft blankets and comfortable bed. Hostess went the extra mile to provide little extra amenities. She also even brought us a remote when ours stopped working. However, we had the AC and fan on high and it was still blazing hot. We ended up getting a hotel our second night because we couldn’t deal with the heat.

The love that the owner of this property put into it is visible everywhere you work from when you first walk up to the door to the happy flowers in the blooming cactus until you make it all the way back through bruiser into the bedroom where you have the twinkle lights and chargers already there for your phones. She placed men’s and women’s products in the bathroom big huge fluffy towels that you can lose yourself in along with smaller ones for your hair a blow dryer and a good toilet paper not the cheap one ply stuff LOL… She arranges the dishes instead of just throwing them on the shelf which goes along way for someone like me (suffering from a touch of OCD myself LOL LOL). I stayed over Mother’s Day and she never was a mom and she took the time out of her morning to tell me happy Mother’s Day via text how sweet is that. Oh yeah I forgot to say she even put a bug spray on the table outside. I loved Bruiser and I love its owner I will be back.
