Every detail taken care of so your only job is to truly unwind and relax

Everything was so purposeful and thought out. Falling asleep to the stars above was barely short of magical. I loved the Polaroid camera and writing prompts guestbook.

A perfect weekend connecting with my partner without the distractions of modern life.

We loved how easy it was to unplug and be present with each other. Having board games and other options present made it easy to unplug. The dome itself was clean and cozy and we loved the loft bed to be able to view the sky at night. The bathroom was just a short walk away and was cute and clean. We also appreciated the amenities offered to allow for lighter packing including the aforementioned games, toiletries, speaker for music, kitchen essentials, etc. Overall we loved it and will be back.

THE Ultimate relaxing get away in Ohio.

Megan’s sense of detail to every need you could want was done in the dome. Extremely clean, calming, with unique items to see, read, smell, touch and experience. Unlimited hot water was huge. Loved the outside bath!! I will return again to stay in the other dome. Nature, quiet and the best unplug get away ever.

We want to make this our annual retreat, what a joy this place was!

The dome and bathroom were extremely clean and well appointed. We felt extremely cozy and were totally enchanted by all the small and thoughtful details. Both of us felt our inner artists come alive. The tub was so comfortable and the few of falling leaves during the day and stars at night was very beautiful. The property is large and we enjoyed hiking along the creek. We cannot wait to return. This is such a perfect love nest!

The most relaxing and tranquil place I have ever visited in my life.

I have never felt more relaxed and willing to just let the outside world go. From watching the deer in the morning to the stars at night it was perfect. My most favorite part of all ... the soaking tub!

I can summarize my stay in one word…. Perfect!

The Cocoon was exactly as advertised online just as beautiful in person. The host was awesome . I received quick responses to several questions I had prior to our visit. I appreciate her accommodating our dog, The amenities inside The Coocoon were fabulous. I didn’t want to leave, in fact I teared up a little as we were pulling away.

There are too many personal touches to list. Seeing the stars while falling to sleep did it for me.

Serene escape full of rest and relaxation

We had a wonderful, quiet relaxing couple of days in the cocoon. My daughter loved all the games and coloring and exploring she could do and I loved being able to sit still and read in such a beautiful, comfortable place. I was looking for a unique experience and this was it!

About the host

Hosted by Megan Davies

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Megan, the creator+caretaker of Rooted Domes, a boutique glamping experience in the forest of SE Ohio.

By focusing on unique design + top-notch amenities, I ensure a comfortable + captivating stay. I aim to create an unforgettable experience where guests can disconnect from their routine + embrace the forest's beauty.

If you want to hike, explore nearby attractions or simply relax, Rooted Domes is the ideal retreat for your Escape to the Forest!

Why they chose this property

My "neighborhood" is the Forest! I share this space with deer, coyotes, bobcat, birds, frogs and so many other critters! I love being able to breath in the fresh air and watch the seasons change. The Forest provides the perfect place to slow down and look at life through kids eyes again! Search for tiny mushrooms and wildflowers, throw rocks in the creek, turn up rocks and see what lives underneath and turn the clouds into any shape or being imaginable!

What makes this property unique

If you would like to go down a little rabbit hole, search Geodesic domes and Sacred Geometry and its effect on the mind!

If that's a little too much, the simple fact is that we are so use to square and rectangular shapes in this world, that just being in a different shape seems to awaken the mind and bring a sense of awe and delight to your stay! Paired with serene nature views and eclectic design makes Rooted Domes a truly unique experience!
