THE COZY CABIN
The cabin is very cozy. The fireplace kicks out enough heat without additional heaters and the bed is super comfy. We loved all the windows to the woods.

THE COZY CABIN
We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was so clean and beautifully styled. The cooking facilities and equipment were fantastic. A really lovely few days away.

This was our first camping/glamping of our lives and first time with Hipcamp as well. We loved our stay at Stargazer Geodome and we definetly want to go back next summer (we live far) or in the winter! You can watch the stars like Sara posted in the listing, we were amazed!!

You gotta go
What a cozy place to stay at. Right when we entered in we were in awe. We unfortunately couldn't check in until dark and it was a bit cold outside so Sara put a heater on for us and kept some lanterns on so we could see. The place was very easy to find even in the dark. The wood burning stove was awesome and Sara left wood, paper and tinder in the cabin for us to use. Everything was very clean. Would definitely go back again.

Five stars
The stargazer geodome was even lovelier than advertised. The view from the panoramic window was so relaxing, even though there was no snow. Sara has thought of everything and even added a few appreciated extras, such as games, latterns with charging ports, and automatic nightlight by the door and hot water bottles to keep you toasty warm. The bed was incredible, I was so warm and cozy that I let the fire go out overnight, and although the dome was chilly in the morning it warmed up quickly with the propane heater. My dog loved the fact that she could safely be off leash and spent the majority of her time exploring the area around the dome. Sara is a wonderful host and her property is a piece of paradise.
