We are located in a rural area and have many different domesticated and wild animals so you may hear diverse animal noises and see or smell animal poop, although we try to keep things clean and tidy. Our neighbors have dogs, cattle, and chickens/roosters and occasionally shoot guns during daylight hours (one neighbor is a sporting club with skeet shooting and hunting dogs) but typically our farm is a quiet and peaceful place. We mow regularly and our rooster and chicken ladies wander far and wide eating bugs but, in the summer, they can't get every mosquito and tick so please plan accordingly for your own comfort.

Home Sweet Dome

21mi from Elon · 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.

Home Sweet Dome
17. Home Sweet Dome
21mi from Elon · 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.

4 nights at Vintage Camper @ Hanging Rock
The vintage camper was located in a quiet, peaceful location. It has the quaintness expected with a camper of this period. We enjoyed the privacy and the open space surrounding it. The soft chicken and rooster noise was welcome. The owner was quick to respond to any issues and quite kind as well as thoughtful. We were practically within Hanging Rock State Park so this camper stay made it easy for us to explore but still have a comfortable place to return.

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.

You can definitely hear a shooting range in the distance, but it’s not overwhelming — just part of the charm of the area. And yes, the local rooster makes sure you don’t oversleep! 🐓😂

Tent camping at The Pint Sized Pasture was a unique experience. We liked being able to take our dog off leash. We also really enjoyed the animals on the farm. A staff member brought out a few of the bunnies for us to hold and love on which was special. Walking around and getting close encounters with emu, alpacas and even Moses the Camel and a micro calf was special too. My kids loved the swings, giant sandbox and rolling barrel/track. There was a lot for them to do!
