Had a great experience! Host was very accommodating and helpful. The stay was amazing, it got very cold at night but the wood stove kept us warm! 10/10 would recommend staying, very nice and peaceful!

Heather was an excellent host, making sure we had everything we needed before we camped. The site had a wonderful view all around, The dome was very homie and welcoming. We also decided to purchase the goat walk. I believe this is a must as you walk 30+ goats up to a pasture in the hills. Definitely a unique experience that I recommend to everyone.

I had a few reservations after reading the last review, but I am SO GLAD I went with my gut that that last camper might have been complaining over nothing. Boy was I right! Heather was the best host and accommodated me from arrival to departure. She indeed asked if I had a headlamp and I did fail to bring one - she had several charged, ready for me to borrow. She helped me get my gear up to the dome, situated on top of this beautiful ridge and walked me through how everything functions. No surprises, as everything was as pictured and described on the website -- it was clean, cozy and cute! I don't "rough it" much and this was a great way for me to unplug, read some books without all the distractions, while still being comfortable & relaxed. All of the animals that I encountered were such a bonus experience, from Porkchop the pig, to the chickens to the goats and all the pups. At first I wished I could have taken my dog, but he would have been overwhelmed with all the critters, so I understand the no pet policy and totally respect it! Since I'm a novice "hipcamper," Heather made sure to go above and beyond to answer all my dumb questions and make sure I enjoyed my stay, educating me on so many aspects of farm & rural living. I wish she had more locations I could visit, but I'll be sure to come back here soon. What an incredible value for such a phenomenal experience!!!

I guess i thought it would be more,
The view was outside amazing, but the dome looked nothing like the pictures.
it was dirty, no electricity ( it was 35 degrees), so no heat.
there wasnt a light in the whole place, and they did give us a large battery to charge our stuff, but it wasn't ready until after we arrived ( i booked 2 months ahead)
they asked us when we arrived if we had headlights to walk to the camp, im glad we did.. what if we didnt?
The toilet was under the porch and we booth didn't trust it.
the wood we bought from them, im glad we did, it wasnt prepped for burning and we had to cut it at 3 am to get some kind of warmth.
the lighters they left us didnt work, glad we had our own.
the extra blankets in the bin, were covered in bugs, and in the morning we found out the bed was to.
the dome pictures are what got my booking, but it wasnt anything like it showed, the dome was dirty inside and out, so you couldnt see the view as shown the in the pics.
im so surprised they are able to rent this out, it was so bad. our truck stop shower the next day was the best thing about the whole night.
i normally dont write bad reveiws but this was bad..

You’ll meet heather down by the road, and load up your stuff in the bank of her 4 wheeler. SO HELPFUL. She’ll walk you behind the house, up through a gate, past the chickens a goats, and up to a large clearing and overlook where the dome is located, then come bank with the 4 wheeler. We brought our pillows and a small propane stove where we cooked breakfast, and we cooked one meal over the fire place. Loved being greeted by goats in the AM. They are so friendly and love being pet! We also drove to center hill lake one day for a reprieve from the heat. The dome starts cooking as soon as the sun comes up and doesn’t cool down until sunset. You’ll want to be out and about during that time if you visit in summer. You’ll want to bring your own cooking utensils, but don’t need to bring your own drinking or washing water.

We love staying in unique, peaceful, beautiful settings and Heather’s Thunder Dome definitely checked off all the boxes. Heather is super helpful with taking your bags and gear up to the dome and back to your car when leaving as long as she is available. The 5 minute walk was perfect to see the scenery whether it was chickens, goats, sheep, or just the trees themselves. The Dome itself had everything we needed. The bed is super comfortable. Everything was clean, there was a battery to us if we needed it, and a fan if it got too hot. The deck is amazing with great views!! A few things that made our stay even better…Heather was a great host, it rained while we slept the first night, the sheep and goats coming to see us each morning, fried bologna and ribeye steak for dinner, knowing that we would love to come back in the winter to see it with snow.

Wonderful experience all around. Heather is a delightful host and very accommodating. She introduced us to the goats and gave us a ride on the 4 wheeler to the dome. The dome was very comfortable. Views don’t disappoint and the whole experience was quite relaxing. Would recommend and stay again!

The view was absolutely amazing. The host was friendly and we did the goat hike and that was fun. So many goats lol. The dome does get very hot during the day. The toilet is under the deck kinda uncomfortable and hard to get to we always bring our own camp toilet and shower and id recommend that. You can not park at cite and it's prob 5-8 min hike to and from car to cite. Over all it was pleasant

BEAUTIFUL view! Sad we didn’t have more time to explore. This is a great place to get away from the city life but still pretty close to civilization (I had 3 bars on my Verizon phone). The view of the stars was simply AMAZING! It was peaceful and relaxing. This would be a great place for someone that wants to get into nature but doesn’t necessarily want to deal with all visitors in state parks. Heather was a great host! We had a few mishaps that set our arrival time back and Heather was very gracious and understanding.

We loved Heather’s Thunder Dome. Such a unique experience, and Heather was a great host that made sure we had everything we needed. The second night of our stay we had the pleasure of being put to sleep with a rain storm. Loved this hipcamp and will definitely be returning.

The dome was magical and fireflies gave us quite a light show in the evening. It’s a very picturesque and peaceful place. I would definitely stay again.

We loved the dome! Would reccommend. Pictures don’t do the view justice. Also Heather is very helpful and sweet! The dome was fairly warm when we arrived (as expected- it was 80 degrees) but opening the “windows” on the side helps a lot with air flow! Not that we’re complaining. They also provide a fan and battery to plug things into. The dome was tidy, spacious, and like I said the view was amazing. It’s a good walk from owners home so feels very private. We plan to stay again :)

We had a great time at the dome as a family with our 6 year old. Such a beautiful space, and Heather was a great host. The goat hike was so fun! Absolutely recommend.

What a fun unique place to stay! A nice walk up to the dome but dont worry if you have extra stuff, the hosts are gracious and will bring it up for you! The dome is in a perfect location. The view is amazing both sunset and sunrise.
Tbe dome is cozy, the bed is super comfy and plenty of blankets to stay warm. Woodburning stove to take the chill out of the air and warm up your morning coffee. There is a table and chairs on the deck as well as inside. Not to mention cozy chairs out by the fire pit. Dont forget the marshmellows!
We enjoyed a morning hike with the goats and it was super nice. The property is secluded, a great place to explore around the ridge.
We cant wait to go back!

Staying at the dome on Heather's property resulted in one of the most amazing weekends I've ever had. The view is amazing and the dome is very secluded from the rest of the farm. They make soap and assorted goods out of their goat milk and Heather helped us make our own soap! I cannot recommend the dome highly enough!

The views are exceptional! There’s a bit of a hike up & around a hill to get to the dome but once you’re there, it’s very secluded & private. Definitely bring a flashlight because it’s very dark at night & you need to see the way when using the compression toilet outside! 😅
You want to make sure you have a variety of things to eat in case you’re unable to build a fire due to weather. Bring your cooking utensils & sticks for marshmallows!
If you like camping off grid & enjoy nature’s peace & quiet, this is definitely the place for you!
Just remember that this is someone’s property where they live so give lots of grace for the unexpected or unforeseen situations. Heather was super accommodating & very kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better host!

A beautiful spot for relaxation and fun! Heather, the host, has her own shop on the property where she makes goat soaps for sell. Her farm and garden are truly remarkable! It is a short walk up the hillside to the dome. The hillside where the dome sits has a wonderful view of the land and makes for an enjoyable evening meal or a nice cup of coffee in the morning. The fire pit area has some comfy chairs and was exactly what I needed to build a fire. Heather even provided the firestarter and firewood. The view of the stars at night is absolutely breathtaking! A one-of-a kind stay! I highly recommend it.

We loved Heather’s land, the rustic and beautiful scenery, the animals, and the Thunder Dome!! We came here for a one night getaway with our 5 year old daughter. She absolutely loved it. We will for sure be back and try to do some of the other activities, like the goat hike!! A little oasis in the middle of TN! When we stayed it was very hot weather but we spent the day swimming at Rock Island State Park, which is about 30 min away. And then we came back, it became cooler and the evening was delightful. Thank you!!

It was fairly remote in the Appalachians, but not too far off the path. Beautiful area. Great view.
