Other Things to Note Night Sky Dome wasn’t built to be just another place to stay. It was created for the part of a trip people actually remember — the slow evenings, the wide-open sky, and the nights no one wants to end. The dome sits on a private site in the Wilkes County mountains of North Carolina, tucked into the foothills near Widow Mountain. Inside, you’ll find 850 square feet of climate-controlled comfort, including two queen beds — one in the bedroom and one in the loft — a full kitchenette, and a full bathroom. Everything you need, without the unnecessary extras. Outside is where the experience really changes: a private hot tub, a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining table beneath the open sky. Pets are welcome because the best trips don’t always mean leaving them at home. Up to two pets are allowed with a $150 pet fee, which must be arranged with us in advance. Pet rules are included in the rental agreement for guests to review and accept. People may come for the dome, but the peaceful setting is often what makes them want to stay longer.Sleep under the stars in a private mountain dome. At the end of a two-mile gravel road in Hays, North Carolina, this geodesic dome looks out over the Blue Ridge on three sides. There are no neighbors and no light pollution. At night, the sky above you is full of stars. The dome is 850 sq. ft. and sleeps 4. It's an open, airy space with: - a living room and dining area - a loft - a full kitchen with a coffee bar - a modern en-suite bathroom It's made for stargazing at night, and for the kind of sunrise most people never get to see. Outside, soak in the private hot tub, gather around the fire pit and enjoy our complementary smores, fire up the grill, or eat on the deck with the mountains in front of you. What's included: full kitchen, washer and dryer, air conditioning and heating, WiFi, TV, bathrobes, linens and towels. Pets are welcome with an additional fee. Getting here: You're 10 minutes from Stone Mountain and about 45 minutes from Blowing Rock and Boone. The road up is gravel with several steep inclines, which is exactly why it's so quiet. Detailed directions come with your booking confirmation. Come for a romantic escape or a solo reset. The sky is better from up here.
