About this property

Backwoods Dome

Surround yourself with tranquility and enjoy the beautiful wildlife and nature that is surrounding the beautiful Dome!
The space
The Backwoods Dome is situated beside a small, winding creek.

Inside the dome are some amenities like a coffee maker, fridge, microwave/air frier, and sink with running water. Also a heated blanket is available for cooler nights. There is no shower on the property yet.

Feel free to take a short walk along the creek and through the hayfields. Be cautious of wet spots on the rainy days.

The exotic mirror dome, wildlife, and tranquility makes it a rather romantic experience! Please share this with any friends who might like to book a few nights in the outdoors! Thanks, and enjoy!

Guest access
Take a walk along the creek, sit by the fire, and enjoy the dome, please tell your friends about your memories created here!

Other things to note
This is an off-grid dome and it’s powered by a quiet & efficient generator that is located behind the outhouse. We will turn the generator on before you arrive.

Beautiful spot. Enjoyed the lush creek area with all of the plants, wildlife and birds!The overall concept is great and it is set up nicely. 3 stars due to the generator not working, the general unkempness of the grass and the toilet being extremely unpleasant.Luckily, the solar power lasted long enough to turn on AC to air the dome out and it was a cooler evening for sleeping.

Loved it here

We had a great time staying in the dome and wished we could have stayed longer. They thought of everything you’d need for a relaxing vacation! Very private and beautiful surroundings - we heard frogs and far off coyotes at night and woke up to find we were surrounded by wildflowers. You can even grill there. Totally want to come back.

The stay was great!

It was a beautiful place to stay, the only downfall was the charge after for 55 for our dog and the fact that the air wasn’t on when we arrived so that dome was super hot. The water wasn’t working but we didn’t mind that we had brought plenty with us. The property was beautiful and just what we needed to relax. Thank you Amanda
