Home Sweet Dome! | Hot Tub | Casinos Skiing Hiking

Welcome Dome! Home Sweet Dome is located just outside of historic Nederland, CO at 9,020 feet above sea level. This one-of-a-kind geodesic dome has 2 private bedrooms, an adorable fully stocked kitchen, an open great room, and dining room, a cozy fireplace, and numerous skylights to view the stars. Sip coffee on the front porch and soak in the mountain views or enjoy the Hot tub, outdoor dining, string lights, and fire pit on the back deck. Hiking, skiing, fishing, biking, gambling, and more are just minutes away! Drive 15 minutes to Nederland and ski the day away at Eldora Mountain Resort! Not to mention numerous incredible hikes, cross country skiing and biking trails are just minutes away!

Read on for a complete layout of this beautiful home so you can best plan your trip.

~The First Floor~
Walk up the stairs to the front porch, be sure to turn around, and take in the gorgeous mountain views. Use the keypad (code will be provided) to enter the main floor through the front door.

The main floor features a large open floor plan with a dining room, family room, adorable kitchen, full bathroom, laundry, storage closets, and access to the expansive back deck.

The kitchen is fully equipped with butcher block countertops and all you will need for your stay including a gas stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, air fryer, 12 cup brew coffee pot, knife set, toaster, dishes, glassware, masher, wine/bottle opener, cocktail shaker, baking sheets, pots and pans, cleaning supplies, BBQ tools, muffin tins, dish rack, casserole pans, measuring utensils, mixing bowls, strainer, blender, pitcher, cutting board, Tupperware, grater, veggie peeler, ice cream scoop, silverware, pizza cutter, crockpot, hand mixer, as well as a gas grill on the deck.

Turn the jukebox on to your favorite tunes and enjoy a delicious meal at the large dining room table. Or, use the table to play some of your favorite games.
The open family room is the perfect place to relax after dinner. Log into your favorite streaming app, hop on the comfy couch in front of the smart tv and cozy fireplace and unwind while watching your favorite show. Or, disconnect and read a book while gazing at the stars through the skylight while listening to your favorite music.

When you're ready to go to sleep, the master suite is located on the main floor with a queen bed and an adjoining shared full bathroom.

~The Second Floor~
The second bedroom is located upstairs and is also fitted with a memory foam queen bed and the coolest reading nook you've ever seen.

Also, upstairs is a small half bath which will definitely be one of the smallest and most unique bathrooms ever. Flush, the toilet, and the water comes out of a small faucet on top of the back of the toilet seat. Use it to wash your hands (it's clean). Talk about using all available space.

There is also a desk upstairs perfect for working from home. Although, we hope you do not have to work too much and can enjoy all Colorado has to offer.

One of our favorite features of the house is also located upstairs. We call it meditation station. Sit on the floor pillows and meditate, read a book, or play the guitar all while surrounded by the sweet smell of essential oils. We hope you leave this space feeling rejuvenated.

~Outdoor Space~
The back deck features a brand new hot tub, string lights, an outdoor dining space, Adirondack chairs surrounding the propane fire pit (open fires are not permitted), and a gas grill.

~ Child Amenities~
One high chair and pack and play provided (bring your own sheets and mattress if desired), a few kid's toys and books, and a ball pit/pack and play (must be requested).

~Pet Amenities~
We love having dogs visit the dome and allow one per guest (pet fee $75), but we need to make sure they are safe. Never leave your dog unsupervised at the dome unless the dog is in a crate (which is provided for you). Pick up your dog's poop and dispose of it in the outdoor trash can. Keep your dog on a leash when outside of the fenced-in backyard and be mindful of wildlife. We provide a crate, dog bowls, poop bags, towels for drying their paws, and an extra leash.

~Important to Know~
The dome is professionally cleaned and disinfected in between every guest's stay!

Only AT&T has cell reception at the dome. We hope you will use this as a time to unwind, relax, and reconnect. However, guests will need to access WiFi-enabled calling which is available on most iPhones and Androids.

Our internet is highspeed and plenty capable to allow you to work from home but it has its limitations you could experience some lag/buffering if multiple devices are connected and streaming.

Winter Tips: We have the driveway plowed and try to keep the steps shoveled but due to the frequent and rapid snowstorms, it is possible that the steps will be covered in snow. Feel free to use the show shovels provided and be careful going up the steps. We do not come shovel during your stay.

Great getaway!
We enjoyed becoming part of the Domie community. A lovely space out of the way from the hustle and bustle, but cute towns with restaurants and shops geared toward tourists and locals certainly nearby. Definitely heed the owner's notice to come in a 4x4 for the unpaved roads and snow. We did and had no problems, as roads are quickly plowed. We got 14 inches of snow the last night, which made hot tub soaking absolute heaven. The Dome has plenty of amenities, charm, and character. Alex was incredibly responsive and kind during the stay. Would love a return visit in the summer/fall months for some of the great hikes in the area.

The best VRBO experience we've ever had!
My wife and I were looking for a place to get away for a long weekend, and couldn't have been happier with this space! The dome is extremely unique, very well appointed and cared for and very much felt like home. Everything was very clean and even better than the descriptions, and the location was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the mountains. We even had a moose stop by to say "hi" while we were in the hot tub! This was an incredible experience and we will absolutely be back in the future.
