Very beautiful place, definitely a slight walk especially for the domes but besides that it was awesome! I recommend checking your email after booking for the check in instructions especially before you arrive in case you lose service! Also a minimum of two days is probably best to get the full experience, having dinner with the sunset is an unforgettable vibe!
We had an excellent stay that provided us with wonderful isolation and peace and quiet over Christmas. It was cold, so we definitely needed the pellet heater the entire time, though there were a few minor issues. Cooking outside on the grill was fun, and the setting and location were fabulous.
Our stay was amazing. The sunrise in the morning are incredible and you can see it right out the dome, you dont have to get out of bed. Everything you need it in the dome very clean place and the property is preaty cool to explore, alot of neat things to look at. I was suprise how big our area was. The gril was great made breakfast every morning. Definatley give this place a try and for sure stay at the very least 2 days to get the full experiance.
