6. Home Sweet Dome

28mi from Butner · 1 site · Lodging

Welcome to Home Sweet Dome, a one of a kind geodesic retreat tucked into five wooded acres where nature, design, and calm coexist beautifully. This is not just a place to sleep. It is a place to exhale. Originally built in the 1970s and thoughtfully restored, the dome blends architectural character with modern comfort. The circular design creates a sense of flow and ease that guests often say they feel the moment they step inside. Sunlight moves differently here. Sound softens. Time slows. Inside, you will find a warm, welcoming interior with comfortable furnishings, curated details, and everything you need to feel at home. Large windows bring the forest in, while the open layout makes the space feel both cozy and expansive. Every corner has been considered with intention, from restful sleeping areas to spaces meant for conversation, reading, or simply doing nothing at all. Step outside and the experience deepens. Wander the wooded property, enjoy morning coffee surrounded by trees, or unwind in the evening under the stars. The outdoor spaces are designed to invite connection with nature without sacrificing comfort. It is peaceful, private, and deeply grounding. One of the most loved features of the property is the sense of seclusion paired with convenience. You feel far away from it all, yet you are only minutes from Chapel Hill, Carrboro, and Hillsborough. Nearby you will find charming downtowns, local restaurants, coffee shops, farms, vineyards, scenic biking roads, and some of the best small town ice cream you will ever taste. Home Sweet Dome is ideal for couples, solo travelers, creatives, nature lovers, and anyone craving something different from the ordinary. Guests come here to reset, reconnect, celebrate quietly, or simply experience a space that feels special and memorable. We hope your stay is more than comfortable. We hope it becomes part of your story.

Overall good, best if you can manage cold during winters. Carry some space heaters although they provide some. No activities in winter so plan for some.

3 nights at Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

We stayed at this cabin at Holly Forest for a few nights over thanksgiving. The cabin held our little family (2 adults 2 young kids) well on the loft bed and the pull-out couch. The grounds are beautiful and we had a ton of fun at the basketball court and the field next to it. We cooked food in the provided toaster oven/air fryer but could have easily used the common area equipment too (grill, griddle pan, pizza oven). Hosts were responsive to our needs. Bathrooms were clean and close to our cabin. We would come back!

Weekend Trip to Sugarneck Glamping Resort, NC

We were four families who spent a weekend at Sugar Neck, and honestly, it was such a perfect escape. Having the entire place to ourselves made it feel extra special — it’s an amazing setup for a group getaway. The tents are beautiful, super comfortable, and the bathrooms are neat, private, and way nicer than you’d expect for glamping. We couldn’t have asked for more. In fact, we loved it so much we’ve already booked another weekend for next week! The host was excellent at communicating and made everything smooth from start to finish. Highly recommend Sugar Neck for anyone looking for a peaceful, cozy, group-friendly glamping spot.

We stayed at the screen house for one night and wish we could have stayed another night. The screen house itself was top notch… secluded yet close to the main area, clean, well maintained, and cozy. Jim and Becky did a great job of adding conveniences to the experience with heated beds, battery for charging, lighting, cooler with ice, bathhouse, cooking area with seating, and more. There are a few different options for accommodations including glamping tent, screen houses, and a cute little cabin with a loft. This is a great place for a group. They can cook together and enjoy the community space, very cozy. We will be back.

Weekend Trip to Kerr Lake Glamping at Holly Forest

I loved the little screen house "The Retreat" that my wife and I stayed in! It was amazingly beautiful from the clear roof to the full open concept. Don't get me wrong there were privacy and blackout curtains to draw for privacy lol. Jim and Becky and their family are just amazing, and so is the property. Everything is so easy and convenient not to mention your own golf cart to wonder around on and get back forth from your place to the bathroom's, and the gathering place. They have a bull that is a BBQ grill and the smoke comes out of the nose, a long with a pizza oven a gas grill and flat top at your disposal. They also have some items there that you can purchase like pizza kits and wood, ect. They also host events and weddings!! All of their rentals are spread out for privacy of each other.

I loved “The Retreat” on Jim & Becky’s land. This site is like a “camping venue” I can envision a small wedding or a couples trip here. They have a gas grill if you don’t know how to charcoal grill and the shower gets really hot. I like how they also inform us if there are others staying anywhere else in any of the other cabins so it helped give others privacy and not explore “too far”.

What a hidden diamond in a heart of North Carolina! If you want to relax and re-energise, this place is for you! All cabins are well made to fit any need or taste! Glass cabins are the best! You sleep deep in a woods! Full emersion into the nature! Owners of the who farm are very thoughtful people! You can check out farm animals, go fishing or have a complimentary cup of coffe in a barn house equipped with great kitchen, self barbecue café, get a dozen of real farm fresh fresh eggs for breakfast! There is a nicely equipped bathrooms and shower rooms. Also, they have a gorgeous rustic Wedding venue, gorgeous pond for fishing. There are a nice golf carts to get around the farm, to bring your belongings to the house. Also, beautifully squired barbecue by each house, How about spending a night by a starry sky? The bottom line-the best retreat ever! Great management. And a great spot for any romantic event or family reunion! Come, bring your friends, family, and kids!
