About this property

Hand built Forest Dome Peaceful & unique glamping experience w/ all essentials

Welcome to our little mountain homestead! We are a small community of mommas and poppas, artists, movers, nature lovers, singers and builders. Our gorgeous hand-built forest dome is our only short term rental. You will be tucked away in the forest, nestled with the deer, the turkey and the meadow. It is a private location- a short 2 min. walk from the parking area. We are excited to welcome and celebrate folks of all gender orientations, racial and ethnic backgrounds and social standings. You are safe here. We are so happy to have you here- on our little slice of heaven.

Cool new experience!
This was mine & my husbands 1st time staying in a “dome home” & our experience was nothing short of amazing! It’s very cozy & inviting & has all of the essentials. The morning view from the inside of the dome when you open the curtains is so beautiful & the area itself is secluded. There are lanterns that you can use to light your way to the dome as you take a short walk through the forest. We arrived after sunset & this came in handy. We used the outdoor shower the next day & it was so refreshing in the heat of the early evening. Lighting the fire pit & sitting outside while listening to music was the most relaxing. There aren’t any city lights so you can see the stars clearly & you get to truly unplug here. This is an ideal location for lovers of the outdoors or those who want to have a “glamping” experience. You’ll be met with a clean, refreshing space stocked with everything you may need & then some. The host also has a welcome basket containing a guest book to sign, a picture booklet with a very detailed process about how the dome was built, a guide with genuine rules to follow about staying in the dome, how to instructions for the outdoor shower & other items as well as a list of activities & attractions you can do within the vicinity. I wish our stay was longer than one weekend, but we are for sure going back for a longer time as soon as we can. Apryl communicated with us every step of the way & was very welcoming. Thank you so much, Apryl! We’ll be back soon! <3
