The ultimate wellness retreat in the heart of Pisgah National Forest. Unwind in the barrel sauna, hot tub, & cold plunge just steps from the dome. This unique 400+ sq ft geodome offers breathtaking mountain views, perfect for couples or MTB enthusiasts. Luxurious amenities including a king bed, high-speed internet(fiber), a kitchenette, full bathroom. Heating/cooling via Mini split. MTB trails and stunning waterfalls a short pedal away. Romance & thrill await at this exclusive mountain getaway.
No Microwave/oven. No coffee grinder.
The Hummingbird Dome sits on top of a hillside. The road to the dome is gravel and steep at one spot. 4x4 is recommended. If you don`t have 4x4 or all wheel drive and don`t have experience driving mountain roads, we have a 4x4 polaris RZR UTV that guests can use with the signage of an additional waiver.
The Dome is on a 6 acre property that borders the national forest. While the Hummingbird Dome is private, we do live on the lower part of the property and are available if needed.
Steep driveway to get up to the dome. If you don`t have 4x4 or All Wheel Drive, please reach out to us for a solution. Use of a 4x4 UTV is available.
4x4/AWD: needed to access top parking area. We have a Polaris UTV that can be used to bring luggage from lower parking area. We have two domes and one Polaris, so it may need to be shared at times. Polaris waiver must stay on property and waiver signed.
Connectivity: Cell service can be sparse in the mountains. However, we provide high-speed fiber-optic wireless internet to keep you connected.
Kitchenette: Please note there is no microwave or traditional oven. A toaster oven, induction hot plate and an outdoor Blackstone gas grill are provided for your cooking needs.
Property Safety: The walk down to the firepit is on a gravel and mulch path. Please watch your step.
Security: For your safety, exterior security cameras are located on the property at the lower parking area and the entrance to the deck of the dome.
