Cedar Bloom Open Camping
Beautiful property
Such a beautiful, special property. The swimming holes were genuinely so incredible. The amenities were so nice, my husband who is a contractor was so jealous of all the beautiful lumber used in all their buildings. A really special stay, the whole family loved it.
Forest Gnome Dome, Cedar Bloom
Overpriced, best 4 cool season stay
The gnome dome is an incredibly sweet concept. The design, unfortunately, leaves a lot to be desired for the price.
Some tips: #1 I wouldn’t stay in gnome dome during the heat of summer. There is no cross-breeze or air movement in the dome and it ends up being hotter inside than outside. We requested a box fan from the kitchen, which our hosts graciously allowed us to grab. We slept very un peacefully and un privately with the small porthole windows and door open and a loud box fan blaring in front of the open door just to get some air flow. The gnome dome price should be drastically cut during hot season and/or outfitted with more air flow before guests arrive.
#2 The bed is quite uncomfortable for the price. It’s not very soft. My husband ended up sleeping on a mat on the floor b/c anytime he moved the bed creaked and seemed unstable. I wouldn’t pay $250 to sleep in a chintzy bed like this again. The cost should really be reduced to align with the quality of the bed.
#3 The blankets had sharp burrs in them that scratched me throughout the night. Again, the price of gnome dome should reflect a camping stay ($50 or less/night) not a BnB or nice hotel room stay ($250/night),
#4 If you’re sensitive the sound, the acoustics of the gnome dome are quite strange. In certain parts of the dome it feels like you’re speaking on a microphone or like you’re others are in a headphone speaking right into your ear. Heads-up on this would have been nice.

Moon A-Frame Cabin, Cedar Bloom
Beautiful peaceful property with a wonderful river to jump into when it’s hot. The cabin was a sweet place to stay and opens up for a unique outdoor experience.

Cedar Bloom Open Camping
Easiest camping ever, especially for families! Drive right into the spot and grocery nearby for forgotten items.
The land and swimming hole is gorgeous!
