Crane Tree Dome

The whole experience was amazing. Great facilities, unique “camping” site with ample room to relax and be creative. Everything was as expected. It stormed and rained every day I was there, but the Crane dome made me feel safe and sound along with providing an awesome natural light show . I will definitely be back!

Would (strongly) recommend!!

Crane Tree Dome

We were extremely impressed with the thoughtfulness and care that went into ensuring the lodging was suited for comfort. We especially appreciated the separate bathroom and cleanliness. During our short stay, we enjoyed the koi pond, a hangout by the fire, and enjoying our morning coffee while watching cows through the geodome window.

Small but neat. Plenty of amenities to make your stay enjoyable. Loved the relaxed vibe of the whole place. Disappointed we didn't take more time to explore the whole property buy we enjoyed just hanging around our spot in the time we had there.
