Excellent property
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.

Comfort and Cozy in a Dome!
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

Wonderful Experience
The dome was spotless when we arrived and very well taken care of. The kitchen commodities were a blessing with an induction stove, microwave, and Keurig coffee maker. This made for a very fine dinner for me and my partner. The large deck had a beautiful view of the interior mountains and the multi color string lights around it made for a very enjoyable night in the perfectly temped hot tub. This was a delightful Glamping experience and Ravi was an incredible host who was quick to respond to any questions.

We loved our stay here. Four of us had a really peaceful weekend. the pictures don't do the view justice or how large the deck space is. We enjoyed playing board games under the covering outside, as well as taking in the view in the hot tub. Ravi was always quick to respond if we had a question. Would definitely stay here again.
