Wonderful and relaxing area. Close enough to Boone to do stuff but far enough away to feel remote.The inside of the dome felt huge and the sound of the creek was such a calming backdrop to a very pleasant stay. Will definitely be staying here again.

Geodome

We really enjoyed our stay! You can hear the stream from inside, providing a really tranquil experience to rest. Everything was just as the listing said. We would do it again.

My mom and I booked the Geodome for three nights and were excited for a relaxing glamping experience based on the photos and reviews. Unfortunately, our stay did not live up to expectations. The property is beautiful but poorly maintained. There was trash and outdoor furniture in the bushes, exposed and torn outdoor lining, a completely rusted and unusable BBQ grill, and numerous holes in the “screened” patio.The biggest issue was cleanliness inside the Geodome. The sheets had visible dirt and hair and clearly did not appear to have been changed. Thankfully, we brought our own. Spider webs covered the interior, the fans were filthy, and some advertised essentials were missing.The porta potty was also in poor condition and had an unsettling smell that lingered toward the fire pit. We ended up using the much cleaner one at the vacant cabin next door. We understand that glamping is still camping, but we expected basic cleanliness and maintenance.Although it initially took some time to reach Paul, he was responsive for the rest of our stay and tried to address our concerns. The positives were reliable power, good Wi-Fi, and the beautiful creek. The swimming hole and small waterfall just off the parking lot were the highlight of our trip.Sadly, the property’s cleanliness and current condition made it impossible to give our stay a positive rating. With proper cleaning and maintenance, this could be a wonderful glamping experience, but we can't recommend in current condition.

Thank you for the positive comments about the property, creek, swimming hole, Wi-Fi and power. I was, however, very surprised and disappointed to read many of the concerns in this review, as they were never communicated to us during your three-night stay or my three visits to you on site. I was staying at our nearby cabin during your visit and personally responded to the concerns that were brought to my attention. When you requested different plates and additional utensils, I brought them over. When there was confusion about the hot shower room, I personally showed you its location and explained that no access code was required. You also mentioned an odor from the porta potty the previous evening. I checked it the following morning and walked over to it with Kathy. There was no odor at that time, which Kathy also acknowledged, and I understood that concern to be resolved. Those were the issues communicated to me during the stay. The other cleanliness and maintenance concerns described in this review—including the condition of the bedding and interior—were never mentioned to me while you were there. Had they been brought to my attention, especially since I was staying nearby, I would have immediately investigated and addressed them. We take guest concerns seriously and appreciate the opportunity to correct problems when they arise. Based on our conversations during the stay, I believed the concerns that had been raised were resolved, so I was genuinely surprised to learn about these additional complaints only after the stay had ended.

So unique

We got there a little dark and was excited to see the scenery in daytime it did not disappoint. It was beautiful and the sound of the creek water was so calming! The little touches around the property with motion lights and craftmanship or small attention to details was spot on. The property contact for questions was quick response time and very helpful. Can't wait to book again maybe in warmer temps next time but was a lovely and memorable experience for my family!

Weather was VERY cold during our stay! But the gas log heater inside the dome greeted us warmly and did a wonderful job of keeping us comfortable inside. We cooked our meals outside on the blacktop grill and ate on the deck admiring the creek and woods surrounding us. With below freezing highs and lows in the low teens, for a last minute get out of the city dose of nature it was a lazy relaxing trip, but would love to experience again in slightly warmer temps. Host, Paul, was very responsive and even reached out to check on how we got settled in as we had a very late after hours arrival our first night. Cleaner/caretaker Ricky and ladies assiting him were very kind also as they popped in to maintain equipment and set up other sites for more guests' arrival. Basic items were provided that made for a rustic feel and elevated camping experience.

Charming place with nice stream and firepit which fits into glamping description. I would recommend the cleaning thoroughly: sheets/pillow cases had hairs on them when we arrived, many stains on the bedding (buy new ones), old scouring pad just sitting out, interior mold throughout, including on all over property paperwork, cooler smells, green slime on bottom of water reservoir of keurig, shower visibly dirty. To include a 30 cleaning fee in the face of all of this is too much or maybe lower nightly rate.

My understanding is this your first glamping adventure in the woods. You enjoyed your stay but had issues with cleaning. There should never be hairs on the pillow case so we will go over that with our cleaning crew. We can always improve so thanks for your suggestions. After your first night's stay, you inquired about the propane heater, I messaged you that our cleaner, Ricky, was coming by that day to look at the propane heater. You didn't mention any cleaning issues. We are always happy to address any issues that we know about.

Property was amazing. Very secluded. The creek right outside was fabulous and the geodome was very cute and cozy. It was a very memorable stay! We are avid campers, so we were prepared for anything we might need. The host contacted us via email and text to check in with us as soon as we arrived. I let him know about some items that were not there(refreshing wipes) and he helped us figure out the firewood. The listing does say pet friendly and the property is very secluded for your pet to be offleash, but the bed does have a label saying "no pets on bed". Just keep that in mind if your dog sleeps with you. We brought a cot with us for our son and dog, so it wasn't an issue for us. The shower house was between 2 of the properties and if you are good with rustic type quick showers, you will be fine. Overall it was a great time and we wish we lived closer and could stay all the time. We drove from Muskegon, MI and it was 100% worth it!Short walk to geodome and gorilla carts in the parking area to use for bringing items to the goedome. You can not drive up to it.Suggestions- it would be nice to have somewhere to hang jackets inside and maybe a wardrobe or something to put your bags in/on and not just the floor. I will share videos/pics to their social media page as I feel this property deserves to be recognized as a prime property to get away from the everyday!
