First couples get away

As our first couples getaway, the geopod experience was perfect! It was a private little spot dispite being very closeTo the road below. The hot tub was a relaxing way to spend the evening. Very close to the heart of boone with great restaurants, bars and shopping. The perfect ambiance!

Dome sweet dome

I took my boyfriend to the geopod for a nice getaway for his 30th birthday. The dome is far enough from people to enjoy nature but a fairly quick 20 minute drive to Boone for great restaurants and bars. The geopod was a comfy stay with a beautiful view. The stairs were a bit hard to see with the leaves but led to the privacy of the doom. The bathroom was located next to the outdoor kitchen space that was well stocked with supplies including a corkscrew for sipping win by the fire pit. It was a lovely view and stay. We will be back.

Relaxing Retreat

This place was adorable! We loved the unique geopod for sleeping, and the tiny "house" that held the kitchen and bathroom was clean and easy to use. The kitchen is not heavily stocked, but easily had everything that we needed to cook a bunch of meals! Having the grill was excellent. We took trips out to a couple of wineries and breweries during our stay, which sometimes was about a 45 minute drive, but the drive was so beautiful that we just considered it part of the experience. Coming back to the property each day to cook dinner and relax by the fire table or in the hot tub (which was very clean) was lovely. Tip: start the hot tub heating up as soon as you get there, because it does take a bit to get up to temperature. All in all, we majorly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to any couple looking for a relaxing getaway.
