Weekend Trip to The Dome Home
Had an awesome time staying in this dome home! It’s super cozy and a really fun spot to relax. The campfire, outdoor games, and hot tub were definitely highlights (had so much to do)! Everything was clean and had all the little details to make the stay great. The host was super friendly, responded quickly for any question I had before arriving. She made sure everything went smoothly. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for something unique and relaxing! I’ll be back!
