The remarkable property is very hilly with pines and oaks. You can follow our driveway to the bottom and access the beginning of The Bear River which has a nice hiking trail alongside it or drive 8 minutes to the nearest boat ramp and 10 minutes to the town of Colfax where you will find gas, groceries, and restaurants. We have a beautiful spot where you will not see any neighbors so it is peaceful and private with gorgeous 360-degree views. It is also very safe! Bask in nature, quiet, and privacy! In summer there is a 3-night minimum for the cabin and dome. Occasionally a two day midweek will pop up on the schedule last minute.

The Dome was amazing , exactly what the pictures look like. The bathroom is so nice and the craftsmanship of the building is wonderful. The lake is just a short walk behind the property and is gorgeous. I would highly recommend this location and I’ll be coming back in summer for some swimming

Geoffrey is a fantastic host! He ensured we arrived safely, even though we were late. The dome is beautiful and cozy. The land is gorgeous, and the horses and pigs add a lot of fun.

Although our trip was just a short evening experience and we had to return home earlier than planned, our time at the dome tent was unforgettable. The setting provided complete privacy, breathtaking natural scenery, and incredible star gazing that made the night feel magical. We also loved the chance to feed the pigs — such a fun and unique feature of the property. The host was exceptionally communicative and responsive, making everything seamless despite our brief stay. We look forward to returning for a longer visit in the future!

What a sweet and relaxing little spot! Our family had a fantastic stay. The dome, hosts, views, animals, caverns, the restful sleep…it was just heaven. We would come back in an instant. Thank you for a lovey stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Dome! Such a cool spot off the beaten path. From the deck to the view out of the dome to wagon for transport to the awesome bathroom / shower setup! Each detail was noticed and appreciated. If we lived closer we would definitely come back (when there’s not a 97 degree heat wave!)

The geodome is a unique place. The dome is magnificent and is tastefully decorated and thoughtfully supplied for a great stay. Adam and Sarah were such kind and hospitable hosts. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay in the geodome again.

Wonderful camp site, fun drive to the location (not suitable for low cars), accommodations were comfortable, and everything was clean. Shower has low water pressure BUT it was still awesome! Camp stove worked great (be sure to bring all of your cooking stuff). Unfortunately the fridge was only for two night stays and we almost had a horrible experience if we didn't bring ice. I suggest you bring a large ice chest to hold everything food related or else you'll be stressing!

The dome was super fun and in a beautiful setting. Rollins Lake was low so not a great swimming spot during our visit and mid-afternoon heat was intense.

3 nights at Treehouse Geodome In The Sierras

family of 5 - 2 kids and 3 adults. the accommodations were beautiful!! plenty of space for everyone. the grill made cooking easy & quick clean up. the French press coffee was good and strong. we had zero mechanical/property issues during our stay. Any issues we did have (needed trash bags, potty issues etc) were handled IMMEDIATELY. Sarah was super quick/responsive to texts. the family is so kind, the animals are amazing. be aware that in town there is one gas station (no pay at the pump lol) and one grocery store, prepare your kids that there is no McDonald's close 😝 however, the grocery store (Senders) is amazing. plan for one lunch at the deli counter! the sandwiches were HUGE and cheap! since we chose to go in the dead of summer, the grass wasn't green. my kids wanted to explore the property in front of the dome but there was too many stickers. it got VERY hot in the dome during the later afternoon hours. but the outside weather was GORGEOUS! there is a swamp cooler in the dome but I suggest plan your outings around the heat of the day, enjoy the patio or pool, or take a bath in the outdoor tub with cool water! we went to CA Caverns & New Melones Lake - kiddo caught a huge fish!! we will definitely be back and recommend the geodome!

We had a ton of fun. Geoffrey was helpful with any questions we had and was very nice! We were able to hike to hidden falls regional park. It was great! We also saw deer, wild horses, cows, and got to feed his pigs. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing glamping experience

We stayed in the dome for three nights and it was just lovely. Erin has thought of so many careful details that help made the visit very relaxing and fun. The nearby kitchen and bathroom are perfect and a shower had lots of hot water. Everything was very nice, peaceful and secure. From the dome, the walk down to the lake is a little steeper and longer than expected. It was fine for exploring and fishing, but we wouldn’t want to pack our paddle boards, ice chest, shade etc. down there. For that it’s an easy drive to one of the nearby campgrounds where they have docks and boating facilities.

Exceeded every expectation. Erin and family created an environment of comfort, serenity and fun. The dome is awesome and has everything you would need and more. Probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in, and you wake up to a beautiful view of dawn. The land is so well kept, and I've loved watching the many hummingbirds who visited the deck. Short trek to the lake, which was almost empty, but the water was awesome, and we saw many catching fish from the shore. The surrounding area is beautiful, and Colfax is a lovely little town.

We loved the thoughtfulness of the geodome setup, it had everything we needed and then some; charging ports, hammocks and seemingly endless trails. The wildlife and stargazing were peaceful. Geoffrey is a great host. Can’t wait for our next opportunity to return.

I had a WONDERFUL time on Erin’s property. She’s clearly thought of everything! This was more like a stay in a nature-focused hotel than it was like tent camping. It was remote and private, but close enough to town for anything you may need. The lake is just a quick walk away, which was great. It does get a little steep. This was no issue for me or my 12yo dog, but just FYI! Being a solo woman on this trip (with only my dog), I felt completely safe and was able to just enjoy. :)
