Creekside Geodesic Dome Retreat
Unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature in one of our four cozy geodesic domes nestled along a peaceful creek. Each dome is designed with comfort and simplicity in mind—step inside to find a queen bed, a bean bag that transforms into a floor mattress for extra guests, a private EcoFlow power bank, coffee maker, and griddle for easy meals.

When it’s time to slow down indoors, enjoy classic card games that spark a little laughter and friendly competition.
Each dome also features a private outdoor nature shower and toiletry area, so you can refresh under the trees while still feeling tucked away in your own space. Thoughtful touches—including Bibles for both men and women in each dome—make this retreat feel like a soulful, restorative getaway.

How do I write a review that fully expresses what a magical retreat Sarana is... without spoiling the true treasures this experience provided? Hosts Sharon and Roy are both incredible humans, who have personally curated the grounds into a refuge of peace and tranquility. They, generously and gracefully, entertained my sons 1001 questions about the forest and all the animals they've seen. The shower is absolutely incredible. Period. We only stayed for one rainy night, and still came out feeling like we had a vacation, and met new lifelong friends. You can enjoy the serene peace of a nearby waterfall accessible by the property, or ask Roy about his sailing adventures, or Sharon about the birds you hear around...any which way, you will leave Sarana well 'fed', in every sense of the word. We can't wait to return for more excursions with our family. Don't miss this absolutely gem of a Hipcamp.

We had a wonderful time at Chris’ land. It was just remote enough for us. There was a little creek nearby, enough wood, and wonderful valleys to play in. There’s a trail to a bamboo stand. The kids loved playing around there. Definitely bring a car that can traverse backwoods. We spent Saturday at Cane Creek about thirty minutes away hiking and playing in the waterfalls. Chris was super nice and helpful.

I absolutely loved our stay at Sarana. The hosts were so kind and generous, and they even let us stay in their RV when there was a thunderstorm one night. They have lots of equipment available, including a heater, fridge, fan, propane grill, and extension cables for use, as well as a fire pit. They have an extensive network of trails on the property, as well as lake access for swimming or hanging out. Sipsey wilderness and Bankhead National Forest are about 30-45 minutes away, so we had easy access to hiking and recreation activities when we weren't hanging out on the property. We loved our stay, and plan on coming back. If you are in the area and interested in meeting some of the loveliest hosts, you should definitely camp at Sarana!
