“Our group has decided we won’t go back to Snowshoe if this property is not available. That’s how great it is!” – Ama

“We ended our day resting muscles in the hot tub, and canceled all dinner outs as the place is the kind where you don’t want to leave.” – Dianna

For larger groups or families traveling together, the basement offers a separate living room, kitchen, and dining area, ensuring ample space and privacy. Two additional bedrooms in the basement provide comfortable accommodations and convenience.

Beyond the comforts of the Dome Home, the wonders of Snowshoe are at your doorstep. Immerse yourself in the great outdoors with a plethora of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and exploring nature's wonders. And for those who prefer a slower pace, nearby attractions offer horseback riding, golfing, and scenic lift rides.

Our geodesic dome home is perfectly situated at the pinnacle of Snowshoe Mountain. You're just a flat 10-12 minute walk or a quick 2-minute drive away from the vibrant Snowshoe Village, where you'll find an array of restaurants and pubs. Plus, for all you ski enthusiasts, our home is a mere 500 feet across the street from the Soaring Eagle Express ski lift. It's a prime spot to embark on your mountain adventures, from skiing in the winter to hiking and exploring in the summer. You're at the heart of the action, with everything you need right at your doorstep.

It’s a perfect balance between convenience and privacy.

It's the ultimate blend of accessibility and seclusion. Enjoy the bustling mountain scene when you desire it, then retreat to your private oasis for moments of serenity and relaxation.

Our home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate multi-generational families or multiple families traveling together.

Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature's beauty or an adventure-filled getaway, our Dome Home provides the ideal setting for a memorable vacation. Come and experience the magic of this unique geodesic retreat, where serenity meets excitement, and lasting memories are waiting to be made.

"Outstanding in every way! The home has gorgeous views, a lovely living room and game room, tons of character and is well appointed with everything we needed. The location is ideal by top of the world at Snowshoe and walking distance to the village" – Kathleen

Note: If you are booking during early spring (April to mid-May) or late fall (mid-October to Thanksgiving), please check the Snowshoe Resort website for the calendar, as the resort closes during the shoulder seasons. Of course, there's still plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy (hiking, biking, fishing, etc), nearby attractions (such as the Cass historical railroad rides), and of course just hanging out with friends at the house and enjoying the hot tub, firepit, and game room!

**Just a heads-up**
In the winter, due to high demand and frequent back-to-back bookings, our standard check-out time is 10am and check-in is from 5pm. But during the spring, summer, and fall, things are a bit more relaxed — if you'd like a later check-out (11am) or earlier check-in (4pm), just let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to make it happen!

When you stay at the Dome Home, you're covered for any accidents that might happen up to $3,000. The $70 charge listed as a "administrative fee" on your quote covers your purchase of $3,000 of "all risk" damage protection coverage on your rental property. This protection is purchased in lieu of a security deposit. Coverage details are spelled out in the rental agreement.

Staying at The Dome Home

Our family loved staying at the Dome Home. Its unique architectural design and spacious living areas are cozy and comfortable, plenty of gathering room for a family of eleven. The house sits back in the woods with a very private feel, but it is also conveniently located with easy access to the slopes. The large windows provide amazing views as does the hot tub which sits on the deck overlooking the woods. The numerous bedrooms and bathrooms offer private spaces for all family members with an additional living area in the basement. We all enjoyed the recreation room with arcade games, ping pong, and others. The host was especially attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We are very grateful for the wonderful memories we made in the Dome Home.

Winter Wonderland

We had a great stay at the Dome Home. This house is perfect for multiple families with children of different ages. The property manager is extremely responsive. We had a few issues with the house being ready for check-in, but Harmon addressed them immediately as well as one or two other supply issues we had over the few days. His focus on customer service is unparalleled.The hot tub is such a great touch, it snowed like crazy while we were there, and it was wonderful to be able to sit in the hot tub at the end of the day and watch the sunset in the snow. The house is a fantastic location, you just walk right across the street to logger’s run. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles. Overall, it was a fabulous trip and we will definitely be back to the Dome Home!

Family Fun

Our multi-generational family enjoyed our time at the Dome Home. It has everything we needed as well as plenty of space to spread out. It’s convenient to the Village area and surrounding activities. We enjoyed a relaxed weekend of family fun during the summertime at Snowshoe and then had fun with smores and the hot tub on the evening. The setting in the backyard and deck area is beautiful. You could forget how close you are to the main area at the resort.

Private yet convenient!

This house is somehow right across from the slopes yet feels totally private. It really could not be a better location! The back yard has a fire pit and hot tub overlooking a pretty forest, while the front sits just far enough from the road to feel tucked away but has ample parking with quick access to the main road. The living room area boasts one of the largest sofas and TVs I’ve ever seen, so our group of eight was able to hang out, watch movies when it rained, or play music from the tv apps during cocktail hour. The owner could not have been nicer and answered any question I had right away. There are plenty of smaller rooms with seating so everyone could steal away if they wanted to make a private phone call or do some work. We didn’t have kids with us but if we did, they would have had a great time on the lower level which has a king suite plus a room with four twins and a mini living room with a kitchen. All in all, a great VRBO!

Great ski getaway at the Dome Home!

We (6 adults and 7 kids, ages 4-9) greatly enjoyed our stay at the dome home. The house is great and super convenient to the slopes. We enjoyed spending time in the hottub, kids explored the surrounding woods, skiing the slopes and hanging out together playing games at night. Highly recommend this home for families!

Idyllic Mountain House + Great Host

We rented this house for a family ski trip over four nights the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The house was perfect for our needs as it was well appointed and had everything we needed during our stay. The house has spacious and has three floors of living space (including a basement that has two bedrooms and another kitchen) - which was ideal for our group of seven people and three dogs. Everything at the property in terms of amenities worked perfectly although we didn’t get a chance to try out the outdoor sauna. The property surrounding the house gave you a secluded feel while still being close to the slopes and shops. Proximity to the slopes was important to us and the house was just a short walk across the street to hop on the Upper Flume run. The walk was short enough where my kids (7 & 10) didn’t complain about having to carry their ski equipment from the house to the slopes - which means it was a very easy walk. Lastly, the responsiveness and general communication with the host (Harman) both before and during our stay was second to none. He provided a great level of detail on the property and Snowshoe prior to our trip, then was very attentive to quickly answer any questions we had about the property during our stay. Our family really enjoyed our time at The Dome Home and would highly recommend this property and host. Our stay could not have went better.

Winter Vacation at the Dome Home

This place was amazing! It is just like the pictures and more! My husband and I brought our son and all of his college buddies to the dome for Christmas break! They had the best time and we had plenty of space for the 13 of us! Great location and just a short walk to the lodge and ski lifts. It happened to snow 10 inches plus while we were there so made the place and the woods beautiful! Thanks for all your hospitality and would love to make this an annual trip!

Memorable Autumn Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway at the Dome Home. It’s a beautiful setting with amazing sunset views, comfortable beds, and moss-filled woods all around, which we enjoyed exploring. We also enjoyed time in the hot tub and around the fire pit. And right behind the house is a wonderful road to walk or run on with an amazing view of the valley to the west. Harman and the cleaning crew were very responsive to the few requests we had. Our family of 15, including 6 children, enjoyed the space and the games, including giant Jenga and Connect Four as well as corn hole, all of which we set up out front one sunny afternoon. We were there during the two week period between the summer season and winter season at Snowshoe Mountain. While this meant that the restaurants were closed, it felt like we had the mountain to ourselves. The dining area was a bit tight for 15, but should work well for 12 or fewer people. Loved our stay!

Snowshoe Family and Friends Weekend

Our large group of family and friends loved the Dome Home. We spent a summer weekend there for GNCC dirt bike racing and it was the perfect fit for us. It is located just off of Snowshoe Drive and only a few minutes from everything that Snowshoe has to offer. There were 18 in our group and the house was the perfect size for us, there was plenty of room for everyone and the main living space was very well suited for a large group. There were plenty of bedroom and bathrooms and they were well furnished and supplied. The home was very clean and comfortable.The owner was easy to communicate with and replied to my questions quickly. There is a short driveway and a fairly large parking area, we parked 5 vehicles with no problems.

Spring Break in Snowshoe

The Dome Home was the perfect vacation spot for our quick ski trip over Spring Break. My college age kids, our family and friends loved this house! It’s the perfect location for skiing at any level. We had beginners and expert skiers in our group, and everyone agrees we couldn’t have chosen a better rental. There was a minor issue at check-in which was promptly resolved with no effort on our part. This house is incredible. It’s quirky, fun, and a great place for people of all ages. The host provided everything we could have possibly needed. Our group has decided we won’t go back to Snowshoe if this property is not available. That’s how great it is!

Ski and play

The Dome Home was a pretty special place. There were some really nice extra special touches…. From Toiletries to olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee, tea, sugars, a bottle of wine and snacks for the kiddos. There was plenty of space to spread out. We brought our two canine friends and there were dog bowls, dog towels, etc. There was an issue with the stove, but a work around was provided until a new unit was delivered and installed. We will definitely make our way back!

Amazing Home in Great Location

If you are considering renting this home, you should. We stayed here for a family ski trip and everyone, from kids to tweens to adults, loved it. First, the location cannot be beat. The home sits back in a nook in the woods, giving the feeling of being secluded, while being a two minute walk to an area where you can pick up lift tickets, lesson vouchers and rentals, along with a few restaurants. It's also a two minute walk to both green and black terrain, and a high-speed quad lift, making it a great starting point for the day, no matter your skill level. Second, the home is architecturally beautiful and very-well appointed, having just about anything you need for a short or long family trip. The great room looks like a Slim Aarons composition. The hot tub was a huge hit and the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes. Third, the owner is great. We had a minor unforseeable hiccup that was addressed immediately and fully and communication throuought was excellent. Our entire family is looking forward to returning soon. Many thanks for sharing your home with us.

A perfect snowglobe - Cannot wait to go back!

The home is stunning in design, architecture and warmth. The kids wanted to move in as soon as they had explored and couldn’t choose which room was more perfect than the other. The Host left generous snacks, tea and coffee and details from a cool light up bar/entertainment room to soft soft blankets, fun wallpaper, and beautiful views. We were presently surprised to find that although the property faces a forest and mountains- making you feel perfectly secluded, you are literally walking distance from lifts on one side of the mountain and a 2-min drive to main village. We ended our day resting muscles in the hot tub, and canceled all dinner outs as the place is the kind where you don’t want to leave.
