About this property

Peak Leaf Season + Peak Comfort @ Unforgettable

"Unforgettable"

Grassy Creek, NC - Set on 40+ private acres among the rolling hills of Eastern Ashe County and close to the Virginia line, this wonderfully handcrafted Buckminster Fuller–designed Geodesic 3/4 Dome offers a one-of-a-kind mountain retreat. With over 300 square feet of windows, the home immerses you in the beauty of its surroundings. Inside, you’ll find warm touches everywhere—solid cherry paneling, wormy chestnut cabinets, and hardwood floors.

A cozy living area invites you to gather around the Vermont cast iron stove with gas logs, while high-speed fiber optic internet keeps you connected if you need to work or stream. An inside stairway leads to an enclosed observatory at the top of the dome—a perfectly romantic spot for stargazing above the tree canopy.

Step outside, where a spacious deck wraps halfway around the dome, providing the ideal spot to sip your morning coffee or watch the sunset. Just beyond the kitchen door, a stone pathway leads to the patio, where a swing, picnic table, and bubbling hot tub await your relaxation. The property also features two fire pits—perfect for gathering under the stars with a blanket, roasting marshmallows, and making s’mores.

Take time to wander the trails that meander through the woods and open meadows, or sit quietly by the scenic pond with a good book. From the highest ridge, you might even catch a glimpse of Grandfather Mountain on a clear day.

When you’re ready to explore, adventure and local flavor are just minutes away. The New River—perfect for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, or floating lazily on a tube—is just down the road. Dine at the renowned River House Restaurant or enjoy a fun, casual evening at Red Dog. Hike trails along the Blue Ridge Parkway, or take a day trip north to Chateau Morrisette Winery and Mabry Mill along the Parkway. Closer to home, Helton Creek Trout Stream—famous among anglers—is just a mile away, and the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area offers hiking, horseback riding, and breathtaking mountain views.

Unforgettable comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests in the upstairs loft with 1 Queen, 1 Double, and 1 Twin bed. With 1.5 baths, a fully equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, satellite TV, and linens/towels provided, everything is ready for your stay. The home is pet-friendly too, so you can bring your furry family members along for the adventure.

✨ Whether you’re seeking a romantic retreat, a family getaway, or simply a chance to disconnect and recharge, Unforgettable lives up to its name. This dome is more than a stay—it’s an experience. ✨

For some winter fun, head to one of our three most popular ski resorts: Appalachian Ski Mtn, Sugar Mtn, or Beech Mtn.

Amazing

This place is amazing!!! It is so unique and cool! The trails on the property are also very nice. All the seating outside was also very handy, we ate dinner and lunch outside everyday we stayed. The drive is a little steep, but totally doable. If you are on the fence about booking this place this is a little nudge to do it!!! You won’t regret it!

Enchanting dome house

This dome house is enchanting! And it's in a serene natural location perfect for relaxing and nature-bathing. The hosts provided everything we needed including little touches like walking sticks and a makeup mirror. The beds and linens are very comfy and the home is beautifully decorated. I highly recommend this unique home for those who love outdoor adventures and indoor coziness.

Better Than Photos Show

Really fun and beautiful place. The Christmas decor was so thoughtfully placed and you can tell someone put a whole lot of effort making it cozy and beautiful! We didn't need anything. They had extra of everything! We definitely heard the squirrels at night, but we turned on a box fan to drown out the noise and we slept great in the super comfortable beds. Water pressure wasn't the best, and the dishes weren't super clean, but we ran them in the dishwasher and they were fine.Overall a really beautiful and quiet place to stay. Our 3 preteens LOVED it!!! Memories to last a lifetime!

Unique experience

Staying at a geodesic dome is a cool experience to have (the structure is fascinating) & the proximity to Grayson Highlands Park is a plus. The bedding smelled heavily of perfume and there was a dead bug in one of the beds, so I’m not sure how frequently the blankets are washed. Also, the check out time of 11am is FIRM; the owner drove up at 11:05 to make sure we were out. Worth a short stay, but it was less than what we expected for the price.

No biggy, we picked up a four pack at the Dollar General 10 minutes away.Also, outlet adapter on floor behind couch was broken so could not have 2 lights and couch plugged in at the same time, again no biggy.

Love that you can see the stars at night while sleeping. The observation area was a bonus. Loved using the hot tub in the evening after hiking. Very close to a cute winery and family restaurants. You are provided everything you need. We will be back!!!

While you’re on your way to the cabin, they call you with security code to the gate. Cabin was clean. Kitchen fully stocked. WiFi worked well. We brought our 2 dogs. They loved the trails and the pond. We had a great time & would love to visit again.

A perfect anniversary get away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We booked unforgetable for our 30th anniversary get away & it did not disappoint. It was very clean, well kept & the beds were comfy. We were even welcomed by some of the wildlife 2 deer popped out to see who had arrived. My husband would walk the trails on the property in morning while I slept in. After taking adventures like horseback riding in the mountains & walking the trails at Grayson Highlands National park to see the wild ponies, it was so nice to come back to this unique, cozy cabin & relax. This was a perfect place for us to celebrate 30yrs together. After sharing pictures I've had a few people ask where we were at & I was happy to share the informationwith them. Thank you for creating a beautiful & peaceful home away from home.

Quirky & peaceful

We really enjoyed our stay at the quirky dome house Unforgettable. It's a beautiful peaceful location overlooking a pond with 2 fire pits and marked hiking trails right on the property. This was perfect to take the dog for a stroll each morning. Unfortunately, there was an issue with the water so we had to be moved halfway thru the trip. However, the owner and rental company were very responsive and made the move seamless. The 2nd cabin was equally as beautiful and well-kept. Definitely recommend this unique cabin and Carolina Mountain Vacation Rentals.
