The Turtle Dome is a unique property - a geodesic dome exhibiting interesting and excellent craftsmanship, as well as a spacious home with an open floor plan and modern kitchen and baths. It's also quite private since it's rural, yet close enough for day trips into the front range of the Rockies.

The house is very nice and clean with newer appliances. Had decent quality pots and pans / dishes ,utensils. Dog loved the large yard. House is located close to town but in country for a nice private feel. Host was very helpful and quick to reply to any questions I had. Would definitely recommend!

My recent stay at the Turtle Dome home exceeded all expectations. The home itself is spacious, clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. It is situated on several acres, far enough away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, yet a short drive to nearby cities for shopping and restaurants. Open views of the mountains, sunrises, sunsets, bird song, and bunnies await you. It is peace personified. The hosts are very responsive, and their attention to detail to make every aspect of your stay enjoyable is evident. My pups loved running around in the large yard too. Absolutely loved this place!

Visiting around Longmont, excellent location for relaxing in between our activities. Dog loved the spacious yard for exercise. Plenty of room for 5-6 adults; we only had 3. Super quiet most times of the day. Nice kitchen and living areas.

We absolutely loved this place. The house was so clean, had an amazing view in the backyard. The kids even asked if we could buy a house just like it. If we ever pass through the area again, this is definitely the place we will stay.

Quite a special place to stay. The design of the house is incredible. I completely recommend staying here. Clean, bright, and cheerful! Pretty walking path just a short drive, and grocery store 15 minutes away. Beautiful views of the mountains, and close to major roads for travelers.

Cool house in a great location. Very clean, with a huge fenced yard where our dog enjoyed spending time. We spent most of our time on the side patio. Close enough to shopping, but far enough away from it all.

Official Colorado Vacation Dome

Walking into the dome for the first time is breathtaking, we all instantly fell in love! With cows as backyard neighbors it made the trip more memorable as ever! One of my favorite parts was the view from the back porch!

The house was amazing!! Clean, had everything we needed! Not too far away from town, but gave us privacy. No close neighbors, no loud city noises or bright lights. Spacious backyard! Awesome kitchen! Bunnies and cows in the yard! And an awesome view of the RMNP!!

Peaceful and Perfect Place

This was the best VRBO experience ever. Seamless, smooth, spotless, peaceful and absolutely delightful. We were in CO to visit CU and CSU - Berthoud was such a charming spot to stay. Adored the town. But this house - love love love. So many thoughtful touches in a unique and lovely spot. Convenient to Longmont, Boulder, Loveland, and Fort Collins.

unique home located centrally for hitting both Denver and the Mountains

The Turtle Shell Dome is a unique place, which helps make the stay more memorable. It was about halfway between Denver and Rocky Mountain National Park, both of which we visited while staying at the Dome. The main bedroom and bathroom in the upstairs loft area are very open, and there is no sound isolation from the main living area if that's an issue for you, but otherwise it is a great family vacation spot.

Fantastic Stay!

This place was AMAZING!! Defiantly top notch. This was such a unique place to stay. They left little goodies for us, which was so sweet. Owners were very responsive when I had questions. The kids thought the place was SUPER cool. They had everything we needed. I'm very appreciative to the have been able to stay there. I HIGHLY recommend staying at this turtle shell shaped little slice of Heavan.
