3 nights at Glamping Domes & A-Frame
This place is absolutely beautiful. Waking up to a sunrise over Appalachia is worth it on its own. The dome is well maintained, clean, and the area is super quiet and safe. It's an amazing place to relax in the hot tub and stargaze, play some games at the outdoor table, or just sit by the fire pit to talk and enjoy the scenery. There are two fire pits - a private metal one on the deck and a large communal area between the domes. There's also hiking and walking trails a short drive away in the Smokies (like Mouse Creek Falls).
Ravi is super friendly and responsive to messages. We met him on our way out when he came up to do maintenance. He takes good care of this place.
There are a few turns that are hard to see, so definitely arrive when it's daylight. If you use Waze, keep going up and around after it thinks you've "arrived".

2 nights at Glamping Domes & A-Frame
We loved our stay at Contrast Cove! This was our anniversary getaway, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The views were absolutely stunning — especially from the private deck where we could just relax and soak in the beauty of the mountains. At night, it was peaceful and quiet, with nothing but the sounds of nature around us and the stars in the sky.
The dome itself was incredible. The bed was massive and super soft, and the whole space stayed cool — which was a lifesaver on a hot summer day. Every amenity worked flawlessly: the sink, shower, toilet, and air conditioning were all clean and functional. The bathroom was also well-stocked and well-maintained.
While the hot tub didn’t get very hot (more lukewarm than anything), everything else made up for that tenfold. Honestly, we’d give the experience a 10 out of 10 — and would absolutely come back in the future.
Special thanks to Ravi, who was an amazing host. He made us feel safe, welcome, and taken care of the whole time.
🌙 Pro Tip: Do not try to arrive at night. The road up the mountain is pitch black with no guard rails — definitely better to get there during daylight for a safer trip.
Thank you again, Ravi! We can’t wait to return!

What a fun time! Jamey was very accommodating to us and communicated clearly and promptly. Even with a broken foot, we enjoyed our stay in The Perch with our 4 kids. We would stay here again!

My friends and I had a great stay at Wanderlust Woods. We found it to be a great mixture of comfort and camping, all at a reasonable price. We especially enjoyed the fire pit and the grill, in addition to the many hiking trails in the vicinity. Jamey was very accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend if you are visiting the Smoky's.

My two daughters and I had an amazing stay in our creekside dome! The decorations were cool, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the host was very responsive. We enjoyed the sounds of the creek, making smores under our dome in the wood stove, and snuggling on the couch together watching movies. During the day, it was a short drive to all of our favorite activities in the Smokies!

Weekend Trip to Glamping Domes & A-Frame
Ravi has a beautiful lot with excellent views. The dome was super clean with all the amenities you could ask for. We didn't leave the entire weekend. Just bring groceries. There is a nice wall unit that keeps the temp comfortable, PLUS an extra heater and fan. I'd definitely return.

We stayed in the Contrast Cove dome in Hartford, Tennessee for 5 nights for NYE and after with our three boys (5, 5, and 7) and had a fabulous time! Our friends rented the dome next to it (Forest Fairy) for a few days and it was great to have everyone so close.
I will start with my favorite part of the dome - the view! It was AMAZING. You can see mountains for miles. We even got snow so looking out to the snow cap mountains was very surreal for this southern girl. You do have a neighbor but we couldn’t even see the house and never heard anyone. We felt very secluded and the privacy was very nice.
The dome itself was very cozy. We had snow and I believe one night it dropped down to 17 degrees but it was always nice and warm inside. There are heated blankets you can use as well. The kitchen had everything we needed and the induction stove, fridge, and dishwasher really made it beyond a “glamping” experience. The shower was always nice, clean and warm. There was plenty of storage as well.
The enormous deck was perfect for our boys to run around and play. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and the fire pit on the deck.
We made two trips to Gatlinburg while at the dome and it was pretty close. It was about 50 minutes away and pretty convenient to the dome’s location.
Ravi, the host, quickly responded and helped with anything we needed throughout the trip. We will absolutely stay here again. Our boys called it “the igloo” and said they wanted to stay a million days. <3
