About this property

Secluded Dome Retreat - Private Hot Tub - Breathtaking Canyon Views

Disappear from the world — this is the most secluded dome at The Canyon at Pond Creek, positioned for maximum privacy with sweeping Sequatchie Valley views and not another structure in sight. This geodesic glamping dome delivers true solitude in the Tennessee wilderness without sacrificing a single comfort.

YOUR PRIVATE HOT TUB AWAITS. Tucked into your secluded outdoor space, it's available 24 hours. Soak under a vast open sky with complete privacy and canyon silence surrounding you — no neighbors, no noise, just birdsong, stars, and the sounds of the wild. After dark, the dome's geodesic structure frames a ceiling of stars undimmed by light pollution.

THE DOME sleeps up to 6 guests: a Queen bed on the main level, a Full bed in the loft, and a Queen sofa bed. Full kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, and high-speed WiFi are all included. This is glamping without compromise — and without an audience.

WHAT'S NEARBY:
• 15 min to downtown Pikeville and Dunlap
• 25 min to Fall Creek Falls State Park — one of the tallest waterfalls east of the Mississippi
• 35 min to Savage Gulf State Natural Area
• 1 hour to The Caverns at Pelham underground music venue
• 1 hour to Chattanooga
• 2 hours to Nashville and Knoxville

NOTE: 4WD or AWD vehicle recommended for property access. All prices include all fees — no hidden charges.

Everything was fantastic! The view is amazing and the dome is top notch. The Canyon is ideally located between two beautiful state parks with amazing hiking and views. It is the perfect retreat for those who want to explore nature and hike without sacrificing comfort or worrying about the hassles of traditional camping. The domes feel luxurious and have all of the amenities that make you feel special and like your getting away to a resort. You don't have to be into the hiking etc if you just want to experience a secluded, very comfortable escape. While there are 6 podsthey are spaced out well enough that you feel alone even with other people around. The owner (Matt) is awesome and very responsive. The place is clean and very comfortable. The hot tub was awesome after a long day on the trails—the perfect recovery.
