Loved it here

We had a great time staying in the dome and wished we could have stayed longer. They thought of everything you’d need for a relaxing vacation! Very private and beautiful surroundings - we heard frogs and far off coyotes at night and woke up to find we were surrounded by wildflowers. You can even grill there. Totally want to come back.

Beautiful spot. Enjoyed the lush creek area with all of the plants, wildlife and birds!The overall concept is great and it is set up nicely. 3 stars due to the generator not working, the general unkempness of the grass and the toilet being extremely unpleasant.Luckily, the solar power lasted long enough to turn on AC to air the dome out and it was a cooler evening for sleeping.

The stay was great!

It was a beautiful place to stay, the only downfall was the charge after for 55 for our dog and the fact that the air wasn’t on when we arrived so that dome was super hot. The water wasn’t working but we didn’t mind that we had brought plenty with us. The property was beautiful and just what we needed to relax. Thank you Amanda
