We stayed at "The Dome Home" (as the kids called it) for the weekend on our way to see The Totality of the eclipse. A unique experience all around. Lovely hostess, clean home, beautiful property. We had a wonderful time.

Great stay in a very nice and interesting home
Seven of us, three generations had a great stay at the dome, such an interesting place, plenty of room for all of us to gather together as well as room for privacy, very neat and clean, well furnished, our five year old grandson wants to come back again soon, so do his parents and grandparents. The hostess was wonderful, couldn’t ask for anyone nicer or better,

Fantastic Oasis
This experience was all we could have hoped for. Lots of land for the kids to run around. A unique house that was fascinating for all of us. Nice hot tub. Very well equipped inside. It's hard to find anything even slightly negative to say about our experience. The place is secluded, but still not that far from downtown/services. My kids want to come back every year!

Unique getaway
Our family stayed at the DOME house and had a wonderful time! The house is so cool, inside and out - really a unique experience. The host Melody went above and beyond! We enjoyed hiking around the property, soaking in the hot tub, roasting hot dogs in the fire pit. The house is very spacious inside with tons of natural light. We had a terrific weekend and would recommend to anyone! Thank you Melody for everything!

About the host

Hosted by Melody Knoles

Host profile image
My name is Melody, and the DOME on the Hill is a family-owned property that was recently completely renovated and opened as a rental vacation home. All our family are Chillicothe natives. As for me, -- your host, I love music, jigsaw puzzles, & consignment shopping. I am a "people person", so I love meeting our guests and making sure their stay is everything they need and expect in their home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Nestled on top of a hill surrounded by nothing but trees, your neighborhood consists of maybe a few birds and the deer that cross through the field in the morning. The large yard is enclosed with a wooden fence and has a variety of trees and perennials around the property. Amazingly, being so private, our home is minutes away from a major highway and town, hiking trails, restaurants, and entertainment. The best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

There IS no place like ours... period. There may be other domes, but this one was designed and built by an amazing engineer husband/wife team. The blueprints hang framed in the lower level, and a photo book lays on the coffee table which shows each step of construction. The house looks small from the outside, yet it is incredibly spacious inside. The unique structure allows loads of individual living and closet space, and fun, "unconventional" angled windows and walls. It's decorated with a "homey" atmosphere, with lots of color and comfort, and is meant to be lived in.
