We had an excellent stay at Nate’s place! Our group loved the architecture and the beautiful scenery. Kitchen tools could have been better, but we managed fine cooking for a group of 8. Plenty of sleeping space for a big group. Would recommend for a weekend away in VT!

We entered the house in awe. It has inspiring architecture, thriving house plants, great set of games and a cute bathtub with a gorgeous view. Walls are paper thin, so we had to be careful with noise. It's located in the idyllic hill of a mountain. A beautiful swimming hole nearby, and scenic views all around.

Wonderful weekend getaway

We had an awesome stay at Nate’s place! The stone architecture and wood oven fireplace gave a truly unique experience, and the house was very spacious. The fully equipped kitchen made for anxenjoyable cooking experience. Nate was also flexible and responsive. Definitely recommend this for your weekend getaway home!

the castle in the grass/ an interesting assemblage!

The facilities were as described; everything that was needed was easily accessible. When we couldn't find something, Nate was on hand to give us the guidance we needed.

Hippie paradise

The dome home is a gorgeous architecturally unique place. It is well appointed, with well kept plants, a little library, instruments, and a functional kitchen. It’s just an incredibly fun place to stay. There is a spectacular short hike ending in a swimming hole nearby. I suspect we will be back.

The place was like something out of a fairy tale. We had our grand daughters with us and the theme was princess. They dressed up and decorated. It was really fun. They played outside and inside, plenty of room. Everything we needed was there. The frig was large enough to keep everybody well fed.

Amazing stay at unique dome home

My friends and I stayed at the dome home for a weekend during August. The home is as advertised: uniquely constructed and had 6 individual bedrooms. We also loved visiting the swimming hole which is about a 30 minute walk or 4 minute drive from the property. Would recommend planning ahead to minimize driving on and off the property (i.e. get all groceries before arriving) because the road is fairly rocky.

The dome home was a relaxing weekend getaway to celebrate our 40th year of existence. One caveat is that I can't remember if the listing mentions that one of the bedrooms is up some very steep stairs so be aware of that when booking. Also, because of the nature of a concrete structure it did hold in some heat in the upper rooms. There were fans and window AC units provided in several rooms. There were also lots of interesting nooks and crannies.

Hi Ashley Thanks for the review. As for the tower room, due to access needs this room is not listed as a bedroom in my listing description. I list a 5BR and provide 5BRs between the first and second floor, the room up the spiral staircases should be considered a bonus and is not counted in the listing description. Thanks for your business Nate

Perfect mountain retreat

Our group needed two things: lots of room for people to sleep and somewhere peaceful to relax and we got that all and more! The house is beautiful and the surrounding property is right out of a fairy tale. Nate is great to work with and the house was immaculate when we arrived. The house is wild and fun- some spot you gotta watch your head! It’s cozy though and great for inspiration and relaxing. If you don’t want to hear the rest of the group, this isn’t the house for you… sound carries! But that is minor compared to the breathtaking views and beauty of the space. We will definitely be back!

Fun Weekend

We enjoyed our stay very much. Nate was very responsive and great to work with. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, and the kitchen had exactly what we needed to cook meals for our family of 9 people. The drive to the house is an adventure in and of itself so take Nate’s advice seriously - you’ll need a four-wheel drive vehicle and a steady nerve, especially after it rains. Two trees came down and blocked the road while we were on our way back to the house after dinner in Bennington. Fortunately there were some locals ready to help clear the road. The house is super cool, completely different from any place we’ve ever stayed at before. It reminded us of a Hobbit house and we had a lot of fun with it.We would love to stay there again.
