Welcome to The Riviere Skoolie, a rare lakefront glamping retreat designed for couples and adventurous travelers who want more than a typical stay. Set where Lake Granbury meets the Brazos River and Long Creek, this beautifully converted school bus offers an intimate, design-forward escape surrounded by water, wildlife, and wide-open skies.

This is not ordinary camping — it’s elevated glamping. The skoolie is fully climate-controlled and thoughtfully equipped for comfort, while the experience centers around outdoor living: quiet mornings by the water, kayaking along the shoreline, evenings around the firepit, and stargazing under expansive Texas skies.

Inside, the space is cozy, creative, and intentional, featuring a comfortable sleeping area, kitchenette, WiFi, and smart TV. Just steps away, a private outdoor bathroom with a hot rain shower and residential-style toilet adds a memorable, spa-like element to the stay.

Designed with romance and simplicity in mind, The Riviere Skoolie is ideal for couples, solo creatives, and adventure-minded guests. While it can accommodate a small family, the experience is best suited for those seeking connection, calm, and something delightfully unexpected.

Jenna and Ty are the hosts behind The Riviere Skoolie and several thoughtfully designed vacation properties across North Texas. Together, they focus on creating experience-driven stays that feel intentional, comfortable, and memorable. Ty manages the short-term rental business full time, overseeing operations, property care, and guest experience. Jenna brings her creative eye and design influence to each space while continuing to run her retail business, Winton and Waits, a well-loved boutique known for its curated style and attention to detail. The Riviere Skoolie was created for guests who appreciate unique places and slower moments—whether that’s enjoying quiet mornings by the water, evenings under the stars, or time spent reconnecting away from everyday routines. Jenna and Ty are hands-on, responsive hosts and are always happy to help ensure a smooth, enjoyable stay.
