Reasons You'll Fall in Love With the Dome: --Awesome Acoustics: this place is IDEAL for Sound-bath healing Retreats, Yoga & Breathwork Workshops, Prayer groups, Family/Friend Reunions, etc. The geodesic interior angles of the ceiling create a multidimensional sound experience you have to witness to fully appreciate!

--Taking a Hot Shower OUTSIDE is a natural Luxury EVERYONE should experience. This sexy unique amenity provides total privacy for total relaxation; yet it's just around the corner from the downstairs porch, so you can easily shuffle back inside to your bedroom, or back to a tent. Bonus: I'm proud to say this beautiful outdoor shower was built out of entirely reclaimed-lumber, and all the water is reclaimed by the nearby raised garden bed, so please use our biodegradable shampoos+body wash [provided!]
IF YOU LOVE ORGANIC+HOLISTIC LIVING, you'll love It here! --All-natural shampoos and soaps, handmade hand-soaps & soaking salts & bath bombs and homegrown teas (incidentals are a la carte, not included in your base rental price). --Low-EMF: The Dome Is actually a faraday cage (the original builder was a ham-radio fanatic) and there Is currently NO WiFi In the home! --Happy hens on site providing delicious free-range eggs (but chickens will remain in their coop/run for the duration of your stay, and tended by the neighbor).
Our family has been hosting vacation+family rentals our whole lives, and this little passion project is our newest Eco-Loving endeavor! Surrounded by gardens and fruit trees+vines, permaculture master-designed to enrich biodiversity and ecological life, we know how SPECIAL THIS PLACE IS, and we appreciate that you also care for the space and help keep it beautiful.
We proudly host Red-Shouldered Hawks and many songbirds (easily appreciated when Inside the Dome, as the Main-floor is upstairs!) as well as an abundance of Dragonflies, Fireflies, Tree-Frogs + Bull frogs + Salamanders... the wildlife is rich here and children of all ages love it!
Therefore this Wildlife-Sanctuary is also an all-natural organic/biodynamic landscape and thus we do NOT use toxin pesticides of any kind. Surrounded by stream-front forest and organic gardens, it's normal to see Spiders + roaches around (even occasionally Inside the Dome). So if you are arachnophobic, this location may not be ideal for you.
