This 700 sq ft geodesic dome combines comfort and style, with custom interiors inspired by the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country. Wake up to breathtaking views through the large bay window in the king-size bedroom, and end your day watching a stunning sunset or stargazing under the clear night sky.

The full kitchen includes a countertop hotplate, microwave, air fryer, coffee maker, and all of your essential dishware. Master bedroom has a comfortable king-sized bed that is centered in view of the giant bay window. The luxurious bathroom features a spacious shower and heat-dry functionality, while the cozy living room includes a queen-sized sofa bed. There is also a 220 volt outlet outside that can be used to plugin an EV charger - free of charge! Explore nearby attractions like Enchanted Rock, Lake Buchanan, and Longhorn Caverns, or enjoy local dining, shops, and live music in Llano’s charming town square. Back at the property, relax by the fire pits or picnic under the stars. We hope to see y’all soon! Google maps link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/sohYzJEQesPcu8mT9

Fabulous!
Hill Country Stargazing Dome
The dome at North Star Ranch was incredible. The land is beautifully maintained, the dome has all the creature comforts you may want, and the night sky is breathtaking. 12 out of 10 recommended staying here!

Hill Country Stargazing Dome
my partner and I's trip to the north star cove dome was exceptional. Rather difficult to find the location at night so try your best to arrive during day time hours. Joel was an excellent communicator and provided us with a gorgeous, secluded, and serene space to unwind and enjoy each other in. Everything was very clean and cozy. Truly such a fun experience and easily accessible for folks in san antonio/austin! Would absolutely reccomend! P.S. I also left a sentimental teddy bear behind at the Dome and Joel was kind enough to ship him back to me! Very kind host.

Star Trance!
Hill Country Stargazing Dome
Joel’s land was gorgeous! We were able to see some wildlife, have a campfire, and most importantly for me.. get to watch all the stars. It was great to relax under the stars and get away from all the distractions of the world. It was truly a starry trance, and it was the best peaceful getaway anyone could ask for. Very private & quiet! Definitely book with Joel. You won’t regret it!! 🤩

Campsite #2
Wonderful spot and the most responsive, helpful and accommodating host in Joel. To be fair we had the site to ourselves and spring flowers and sunset amazing! The warm open air shower is really welcome and very nicely done, lovely clean proper toilet too! We had the use of open pit fire, picnic table and BBQ, all luxurious when you are bringing out your camping gear from London UK. Very well located for some key small towns to visit around you. Would recommend.

Campsite #3
This campsite wasn’t what we expected. I don’t know if it was because of the situation (day of the eclipse) or if it was normal. There were a lot of people camped there - not at all “private”. Ended up waiting more than 2 hours to get into the campsite we had booked, even with the host on-site. No flush toilets (portapotty), no showers, no water at all. Apparently, their water tank ran dry - and the refill truck the host promised never showed up. (Luckily, we had some water with us.) Surprised at the amount of road noise, especially at night - it overpowered the sounds of nature around us. Tom was a really friendly, nice guy that wanted everyone to have a good stay. But overall, North Cove didn’t live up to our expectations.
