So peaceful, roomy, and clean! We had a few minor blips, but Eddie and Tina were amazing at taking care of us. The dome is a really unique, out of the way place, where you can see ALL of the stars, and enjoy nature at its best.

Great stay

Our stay at The Dome was a wonderful experience. The unique architecture and peaceful lake views made for a relaxing retreat. Eddie was very responsive and helpful, ensuring everything went smoothly.The house was well-decorated and stocked with books, creating a cozy atmosphere. My kids loved the closet filled with toys and books, keeping them entertained throughout our visit. The thoughtful amenities really added to the comfort—plenty of firewood for the firepit, laundry facilities with detergent provided, delicious coffee, and even bug repellent available for guests. These small touches made a difference in our experience. We had so much fun and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and relaxing getaway.
