About this property
The Cocoon- Magical Dome Home in the Forest!
Overview
The Cocoon is an adults-only forest retreat designed to help you slow down. Bordering 27,000 acres of protected state forest, it's quiet, private, and thoughtfully curated. Guests often describe their stay as magical, cozy, and unforgettable—a reflection of the intentional design, thoughtful details, and immersive forest setting.
The Space
Inside you'll find a queen bed tucked on a loft beneath a skylight, inviting you to fall asleep beneath the stars. Below, a well-equipped kitchenette and cozy sitting area are centered around a dramatic panoramic window overlooking the forest. Step outside onto your private deck, where you'll find outdoor seating, a propane grill, and your own private outdoor soaking tub surrounded by nature.
Signature Features
Wake to the forest, soak beneath the trees, and fall asleep beneath the stars. From your private outdoor soaking tub and fire pit to the lofted bed beneath the skylight, every detail is designed to help you slow down and reconnect with nature.
Private Bathroom
Your private bathroom is located just a short walk from the dome in our nearby bathhouse and is never shared with other guests. Thoughtfully designed as its own cozy retreat, the magic and attention to detail continue beyond the dome itself.
Thoughtful Extras
All linens and towels are provided, along with coffee, tea, creamer, spices, oils, basic condiments, plus shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
Disconnect to Reconnect
Wi-Fi is available, though cell service is limited. Guests are encouraged to unplug and lean into the stillness of the forest. Inside the dome, you'll find a curated collection of screen-free comforts, including a record player with a small vinyl collection, games, puzzles, coloring books, musical instruments, yoga mats, and other thoughtful touches designed to help you rest, create, and simply be.
The Property
There is a second dome on the property, thoughtfully positioned to preserve privacy.

The host, Megan really put in a lot of thought to the details in these domes, it felt so magical and I loved being in the forest with my husband. We shared a quiet peaceful night. The bath was wonderful and it’s a great place to unplug. She also was so sweet and brought us up some bug spray. I’m definitely gonna stay here again.
By far our favorite Vrbo find yet. The setting is so peaceful and relaxing. We really enjoyed all the amazing details and amenities here. We will be back!
This is an incredible place to stay!! The attention to detail couldn’t have been any better!

This place was awesome we absolutely LOVED it.
The outside bathtub was amazing the view off of the deck was absolutely stunning and the loft bed was literally everything we loved the fit pit we used it throughout our whole stay
We couldn't have been happier with our stay. Yes it is a little bit of a treck to get to, but it's so worth it to be so isolated and far back in the woods. It felt totally private and secluded which is exactly what we wanted. Megan, the host, really thought of everything! From the outdoor bath to kitchen setup you really have everything you need for your stay. She even provides some really fun extras like a Polaroid camera, a star projector, board games, puzzles, a record player, literally everything we needed. There was also some.pretty big storms while we where there and it was so cool to get to watch the lightning from the dome! We can't wait to plan our next trip back!
Beautiful place! Loved every minute of being there. Host was kind, 10/10 communication. Clean everything and just really well thought out. Absolutely nothing bad to say about this stay. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you :)

Exceeded expectations, wonderfully furnished, amazing environment and relaxing amenities.
The Cacoon was packed with amenities that were helpfully labeled with instructions. The Cacoon is set in an amazing setting full of nature and very quiet. The tub on the deck was a lot of fun and very relaxing! The dome is furnished with care and even the detached bathroom is well decorated, clean, and high quality!
Wow!! There are no words to describe just how amazing the experience was and how beautiful the place is. Pure magic!!!!! It’s even better in person. Not only is the igloo unique and fun to stay in but the decor and ammenties were on point. The tub was the icing on the cake!!! Not only are you surrounded by nature and all of its healing vibrations but Megan was such a perfect host. 20/10!! Super grateful for the availability of E-bikes as well. If you’re not taking advantage of those while you’re out in nature you’re missing out!!! It was hours of endless paths and beautiful sight seeing. Thank you Megan!!
The domes have the perfect setup and activity options! I would have loved to have had some more time there…as it was, it was my first stop of a pretty extensive time traveling. I’m so glad I chose Rooted Dome because it was true break, not just an overnight stop!

The most relaxing, peaceful, and recharging trip we have been on!
We stayed in the Cocoon and it was more than we could have expected. There was no detail they didnt of. It was spotless and welcoming. So cozy and peaceful! We will 100% be back. We have been having about it to all our friends to go stay! The bathroom was also amazing and so clean! We felt right at home and were able to disconnect from the world and relax.

About the host
Hosted by Megan Davies
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!
