5.0 "Inlove with the Place"

Let me just say how IN LOVE with this place I am!!! I am currently working on purchasing my own conversion bus, so on a whim, I decided to book the Bruiser in my hometown of West Monroe for the night. I am ever so glad that I did! Not only was Bruiser clean, but it was beautiful, comfortable, and flowing with love. Frankly, I didn't want to leave. All amenities were provided, such as Wifi, coffee, cooking appliances, AC and Heat, bathroom accessories and pretty much anything else you can think of. If you're traveling to West Monroe and want a get away from all the noise, CHOOSE THIS PLACE! I was blessed to be able to meet Lacey the evening that I stayed. She caught me playing a few tunes on my guitar sitting on the levee. She was so kind. They also have other sites in the same location that are just beautiful. There are kayaks for your enjoyment and the cutest sitting area to enjoy coffee in the morning while looking over the Ouachita River.

5.0 "Love This Place"

We loved our quick stay in Bruiser! It was close to everything we needed but still felt isolated and private. We love being able to travel with our dog and loved the little touches like the dog bowl and tether to have him off leash but still safe outside. The weather was chilly but we were warm and cozy overnight. Would definitely stay here again!

5.0 "My favorite place!"

My second time on the bus and it was just as great as the first. The view of the river can’t be beat. You feel so secluded from the world on the bus, and yet you’re less than five minutes from all the food and entertainment you could want. By far my favorite air bnb!!

This bus was one of our favorite stays on the road. Not much near to do, but you can use their kayaks to go out on river. Inside was very clean and had everything you needed. I love that Lacey was able to share the bus life experience with us. If I’m ever in town again, I’ll definitely stay in the bus.

5.0 "Gorgeous view!"

We stayed in Bruiser while passing through town on our way to Texas. We had an absolutely wonderful time. It was everything it was advertised as! Our little girl had the best time staying in a "school bus". She can't stop talking about it now. the place was spotless and had everything we needed! The view is gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for better hosts. We can't wait to go back.

5.0 "Unique stay"

What a unique stay. Such attention to detail was given to Bruiser. We loved that it’s steps from the river, had every amenity that could be needed and the bed was super comfy. Lacey was very easy to communicate with. She was worried about the WiFi up until check in even though we told her it wasn’t a big deal. WiFi wasn’t needed. We would definitely stay again and can’t wait to visit and maybe stay on the houseboat.
