6/10 Okay

The domes and view are beautiful. However, they are still building the place and the showers are under construction. There were no beddings and towels when we got there. Unfortunately, what you don't see in the lovely pictures in the highway just meters away. needless to say, we could hear every truck and motorcycle, and had no sleep. We booked for two nights and left after one night unfortunately.

Sadly, this was the most disappointing accommodation of our trip. I had dreamed of staying in a dome for years, and after hearing about friends’ luxurious experiences elsewhere, I was really looking forward to this being a highlight of our vacation. Unfortunately, we arrived to a cold dome with very few amenities — just a coffee machine with three pods and paper cups, a bar fridge, and one small lamp that left the dome quite dark at night. There was no running water, and the bathrooms were a fair hike uphill. No TV, firepit, or deck chairs either. On a positive note, the gentleman at the front desk was very nice and welcoming. However, for $300 a night, I expected something a little more special than what felt like a basic tent. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but this was definitely not the glamping experience I had envisioned. Such a disappointment, especially since we had been looking forward to it so much.

Disliked: Check-in, listing accuracy
We booked this stay to celebrate both my birthday and Mother’s Day weekend with our family, and unfortunately the experience did not match the expectations created by the listing or the premium price.The property still appears to be under construction, with several unfinished domes nearby, and the domes are much closer together than the photos suggest, reducing the sense of privacy we expected from a luxury stay.Our check-in experience was disappointing. The receptionist was not welcoming and provided almost no information beyond giving us our dome number.The hot tub was in installation process upon arrival and we were told it would only be available after 8 PM, despite being promoted as a main amenity.The biggest issue was that our reservation for 5 guests advertised 3 double beds, but in reality there were only 2 beds plus a very hard sofa bed that was extremely uncomfortable.Most disappointing of all, the listing photos are misleading regarding the lakefront experience. The property is actually across a highway from the lake, with no direct lake access. While there is technically a water view, it is not the lakeside experience the photos imply.We also had issues with the digital lock showing “low battery” during the evening.Overall, the experience did not justify the very high price charged, especially for such an important family celebration weekend, on low season.
