Be ready to walk a far distance to the dome as you can’t park your car by it to load or unload. If you have any mobility issues this place is not for you. Shower and dome are not easily accessible. Composting toilets are in tents and having to sprinkle lime inside with no where to wash your hands wasn’t healthy. There is no water access anywhere near by. No heater in dome and it was super noisy due to roof not being insulated. It was freezing (it was in the 30s) . Bed is comfortable and there were lots of good blankets.
It was peaceful and relaxing. Would have preferred a bigger outhouse.

Shivani was such a great host ! She easily answered any questions and was very welcoming and accommodating. Great hospitality and the property was gorgeous ! Will definitely come again.
My partner and I had such an incredible time during our stay here! We are definitely planning to come back soon. Our property manager was incredibly sweet, communicative, and genuine. If you need a nice little getaway in nature, this is the perfect place to stay! We got to wake up each morning to the goats and deer grazing in the yard and saw so many other beautiful sights!
