Get out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature when you stay in this unique place. Local Deer and fox roaming the area if you are lucky to see them. Wake up to a gorgeous mountain/valley view , BBQ during the day and enjoy smore's with the firepit at night. Miles of hiking right off the property and in the surrounding areas. Lots of local dirt bike, side by side riders in the area as well, and horse back riding! If your a plant enthusiast like me, you will have fun scoping out all the natural medicinal herbs naturally growing in the area, i.e. sage, mullein, brigham tea, and many more! Enjoy the entire valley with the view and privacy up on the hillside. Some neighbors across the street in a container home and tent rentals about a half mile away. This is an outdoor off grid Glamping experience! Bring items you would normally bring camping (DRY CAMPING), but you have the luxury of having shelter, bed, sofa bed, refrigerator/ freezer, propane grill, propane stove, well water provided, and ability to have camp fire as the dome is located on private land not Forest land. Wifi is provided complimentary and as a luxury. Wifi is supported by Starlink and works about 85% of the time due to its remote location and weather conditions. RENTAL AMENITIES BBQ charcoal grill Bed linen Carbon monoxide detector Ceiling fans Coffee machine Cooking utensils Fire extinguisher First aid kit Internet wireless (85%) Mountain Parking Parking on street Pets allowed Private porch Refrigerator Security system Shower Smoke detector Smoking allowed outside Suitable for events Disclaimer: Please do not follow any maps/ or GPS coordinates given by the rental/booking site. THERE IS NO ADDRESS. Please only use instructions provided to you by the host so that you do not get lost. 4-wheel drive highly recommended as it is off-road/ off-grid driving... You will be required to drive a vehicle with at least a 5 inch clearance above the ground so that you may be able to drive over the rocks without damaging your vehicle. The off road portion (the last 4.5 miles) ride is very bumpy, off road- means no pavement/ no gravel. You are off-roading in the mountains friends! Please keep in mind that there is no refund or cancellation policy if you decide to opt out of using a 4WD or vehicle that does not have the 5inch clearance.

This place is perfect! Only 45 minutes from home. We’ve been two seasons and can’t wait for spring. See you soon!! Definitely go. It is awesome to have a private space so close to the mountain. We love it!!!

I enjoyed the dome campsite and its secluded location very much. I'm a podcaster and I recorded my journey through Lovell Canyon and my experience at the dome for my show. I plan to use the dome again but on my next visit I will be bringing my fellow podcast hosts. Thank you Keilani for creating such a wonderful place for me to enjoy a quiet little pocket of the world and be alone with my thoughts.

Weston’s land was an amazing experience, getting there was easy and place was absolutely beautiful. My husband and I had a great time there, from cooking on the fire pit, to have lots of space to rest, relax and even play! Our little shih tzu had a great time as well. This is a place we would definitely love to visit again!

We had a great time staying here. Wild horses grazed in the yard while we were there... Which was awesome. Nice to have more space than the average campsite... And, not have to compete for a space. We're already considering a return visit.

Weekend Trip to Sage Desert Dreams

This was a great location! We went in mid-June: I was initially worried that it would be too hot, but it was quite comfortable at night. The surrounding area is beautiful and my friends thought it was a very special experience. Keilani was helpful and communicative throughout the booking + planning process. :)

Beautiful views. Plenty of space for vehicle, camper, and tent if needed. Close to hiking trail. Quiet. Private. Primitive camping. Great for boondockers.

We loved everything about this place. The drive was an adventure, but that’s part of what made the great experience.

Absolutely peaceful! We really enjoyed our stay, it was cold as heck (Thanksgiving Day) but all part of the adventure, the road was rough but nothing too crazy, just a few parts where we were definitely happy to be traveling on high clearance vehicle. If you love camping this is definitely something you would enjoy as well.
