This is the first monolithic dome home in the City of Chattanooga. Why get a hotel room when you can have the entire place as your home? Feel the great energy this dome home has to offer!! It has a very open floor plan and feels spacious because of the 14 ft. ceilings.

We have shampoo/cond, soap, paper towels, toliet paper, and everything you could possibly need, just bring your clothes and food. We even have a washer and dryer if you need them. Privacy fence and outdoor patio for grilling. Sorry but we do not accept pets at this time. Be sure to play the music channel so you can hear the acoustics!! It is literally 10 minutes to town and all the major attractions of Chattanooga TN. 10 minutes from Lookout Mountain, 5 minutes to the Chattanooga Zoo, tons of nice restaurants and all the water front music events. Rent a bike down town and ride anywhere you like. The attractions are too numerous to mention here in this introduction. A unique accommodation in a unique city. Don't Forget about, rock climbing, TN Aquarium, Incline Railway, TN River Gorge Boat Tour, hiking, Coolidge Park and great shopping downtown.

Overall my girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time staying at the dome. We loved how close the location was to downtown and activities like Rocky City Gardens.

Thank you for the kind review Amanda. Y’all are welcome back any time.
This is an amazing little rental. The location was perfect for us. We were 10-15 minutes away from just about everything. It was clean, and even had some goodies left for us. Absolutely will recommend this place to everyone I know and will most definitely stay here again!!!!! The acoustics were great!
We had a very relaxing stay in the dome. We had everything we needed. We’ll definitely stay at the dome in the future! My husband and I want our own dome now!

Thanks so much Nadia. The first time we stayed in a dome, we built one 1 year later.
The dome was such a neat place to stay! Check in was easy and the dome was very clean when we arrived. There were some snacks and waters waiting on us which was awesome after we had a late arrival. We found the dome to be pretty centrally located to everything we wanted to do - 10 minutes from Lookout Mountain/Ruby Falls and 10 minutes from downtown. We would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area!!
The dome is 15 minutes away from downtown Chattanooga. My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the dome. The owners were quick to respond to my questions. We will be staying at the dome the next we need overnight stay in Chattanooga.
Stayed here for a weekend getaway. Location was close to everything. Very neat setup in the dome. Well stocked with complimentary snacks and towels to use. The ambience in the dome is really neat if you play music. Stayed for our anniversary and the owners were kind enough to have a bottle of wine for us. If your looking to stay in Chattanooga, this place csnt be beat. Thank you for providing a great stay.
This place was so fun! Well laid out for the size space. The bed was comfortable and everything felt spacious and cozy. It was incredibly clean with high end touches and very thoughtful little extras. It had everything we needed. The hosts were so kind, friendly, and communicative. Great location minutes from downtown as well as lookout mountain. Highly recommend!

Thank you Dana for your wonderful review! Glad you enjoyed your stay. You are welcome back anytime!!!!
The home is so adorable. It is VERY close to downtown Chattanooga (8 minutes driving). It was super clean and I loved the simplicity of staying somewhere with such a small footprint. We booked VERY last minute and the owner communicated with me about checkin time, etc, within MINUTES of my booking. It was a fun and memorable last minute trip and I would 100% stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family!

Dome Stay
The dome was really cute and nice. Property managers were super nice and helpful. They left special things for my husband's Ironman event. I would have liked to know more about the location and neighborhood before the booking

We do get that from time to time, and we understand your concern. As real estate investors and property managers, we chose this location due to proximity of Chattanooga landmarks as well as the growth occurring in the area. The house on right is 2 years old and the on the left is 40 years old with original occupants. New construction and remodels are rampant in the area as well. Believe it or not, crime rate is lower in this area then some upper scale areas of Chattanooga. My wife and I lived in the dome for 8 months while our primary residence was being rebuilt after a tornado. Never a problem. Nor had any guests in the last 3 years reported any type of disturbance. East Lake is not a $500k neighborhood, but it is safe, close to everything and quiet. Safety is our main concern next to cleanliness. Thanks for visiting and enjoying the dome.
Where do we start, What an incredible place! It had anything and everything that we could have needed. If you forgot something at home they had you covered! Thank you for the bottle of wine for out 23rd anniversary. The bed was EXTREMELY comfortable. This place was spotless and we look forward to coming back again!? It was within minutes of everywhere we needed to go. Thank you Glenn and Donna for a place that felt like home away from home.

I can’t even express in words how much we loved the dome experience. I have never enjoyed staying away from home so much. The acoustics are amazing. The place is decorated so cute! They have everything you will need and some added surprises. I will ALWAYS check to see if the dome is available on all of my future trips to Chat. Just as a added surprise I went for my birthday and the owners put a bottle of Sangria with 2 wine glasses and a birthday card in the refrigerator. Such a sweet gesture!
Thanks again for creating and building this cool dome that so many can experience! I could have lived there forever!

I saw the dome and fell in love. Everything listed in the pictures are exactly right. We were extremely apprehensive about the neighborhood where the property is located because it is run down and sketchy. But we had no issues during our stay with our surroundings. We were 10 to 15 minutes away from anything and everything you’d want to do in Chattanooga. Glenn and Donna are amazing host and make themselves available. No matter the time of day. They make your stain unique by leaving cards and treats and they even check in throughout your stay. I’d recommend the dome to everyone.
My daughter and I came up to Chattanooga for a lacrosse tournament we had over a weekend in July. We chose the Dome due to its location of being in between where the tournament was and all the things to experience in Chattanooga.
The location couldn’t had been more perfect! Getting to downtown and all the sights was fast and easy.
The dome was just perfect for her and I. It was very clean and cozy. The owners were so helpful and fast to respond to any questions I had. They even left samples of everything you could imagine in case we forgot something at home.
I always travel with my Amazon fire stick so I can watch my shows but they even had that taken care of with their own Roku connected.
This was such a cool experience that I got to share with my daughter that her and I will remember forever!
Highly recommend the Dome!
I never repeat a stay anywhere due to keeping the anticipation high of the accomodations, but this rental I would repeat in a heartbeat. Absolutely one of the best experiences my husband and I have had! Not only is this rental spotless (and I am a germ freak), but every little extra is offered during this stay-detergent, lotions, snacks, make-up mirror, shampoo- it's one surprise after another! The furnishings are modern and clean, everything is fresh and neat, and it was so cool to stay in Chattanooga's only dome-home! I posted pics on Facebook and my friends loved this rental! The only cons were the bed was a little firm, but the high end sheets and pillows made up for that! Also, the location of this rental is " up and coming"...not in an upscale part of town but that did not bother us one bit! After chatting with the neighbors upon coming home one day, they were very sweet and it was evident they were longtime residents. Book this rental! You will be delighted!

My husband and I fell in love with this property. Working with the property manager was so easy and he made the whole experience great! We will definitely be back!
Very clean, good location convenient to downtown Chattanooga, no issues. Great stay!

About the host
Hosted by Glenn Bodnar
I am a builder and have been in the real estate industry for many years here in Chattanooga and Northern Georgia, and we love this area. I built this home because I was getting frustrated at repairing each home year after year and the maintenance of owning a home. With this home, all we have to do is paint!
Why they chose this property
The Dome is one of, if not the safest most efficient homes on the market today, we see the Dome as the way of the future for durability and efficiency. This is why we are building the Domes all over the country.
What makes this property unique
The Dome is nearly Tornado proof, and meets and or exceeds FEMA regulation as being nearly indestructible, and is a very cozy wonderful little dwelling, where you can feel safe and secure, and will be the only house standing if there is a tornado. It maintains a constant temperature throughout. We hope you will enjoy your stay and perhaps you might want to build one of your very own, we can build any size you can imagine. Thank you
