Welcome to Cassiopeia's Hideaway, our off-grid Geodome, located on our 12.5 acre beautiful regenerative agriculture homestead nestled in the mountains. This unique experience is perfect for travelers who are interested in becoming more self-sufficient and curious about homestead living. Follow our adventures on Instagram and FaceBook @maplemountainhomestead. The Dome: While completely off-grid with no plumbing or power, our Geodome is a cozy and comfortable space that allows you to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life and reconnect with Nature. The 294 sq ft dome features a queen-sized bed, a small kitchenette cart with a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove, woodstove, and a composting toilet. You will also have access to a fire pit for evening relaxation, food forest, garden areas and walking trails in the back woods. Arrival: Upon arrival, park in the designated parking area. The dome is a very short walk into the woods. Code for the lockbox will be provided day of. Heat: The woodstove is the primary heat source with wood provided. If you are unfamiliar with woodstove operation or aren’t comfortable with them we also provide a Mr. Buddy propane heater. The Mr. Buddy takes two 1lb. propane canisters and offers a quick and easy way to keep warm. You will need to purchase your own propane cylinders for use. They are sold at Aubuchon, Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Walmart and Target in a two pack. Two cylinders will burn on low for up to 11 hours and approx. 6 hours on high. Do not throw out used/empty propane cylinders. They are to be taken with you and recycled appropriately. Water: We provide 1 gallon of drinking water per stay. If you think you will require more, please plan to bring your own. Cooking: Indoors there is a Coleman 2-burner camping propane stove. Outside is a grate for cooking over a fire. Regenerative Agriculture: Depending on the season, you can have the opportunity to learn about and participate in our regenerative agriculture practices. This includes planting, harvesting, and caring for a variety of fruits and vegetables, as well as caring for our chickens. You'll leave with new skills and knowledge that you can use to become more self-sufficient in your own life. Winter Camping: If you're a particularly adventurous camper, you could stay during the winter months snowshoeing your way in and out to the Geodome and keeping warm by the fire. Other things to note: Stay within the boundaries of our property and do not go pass the tap lines or to other side of the road. Being in the country you may occasionally hear gun shots, especially during hunting season. What's Nearby: Locally there is our favorite bar, Arrowhead Lodge and also Maquam Winery (seasonal). You can enjoy boating or kayaking on Arrowhead Lake 5 minutes away. Hannaford's, our grocery store is only 8 minutes away. There are many hiking, biking, and kayaking trails within 5-15 minutes away. For ski/snowboarding, Smuggler's Notch is the closest, about a half hour east and Jay Peak is about an hour north of us. We are 25 minutes from the city of Burlington and 1.5 hours from Montreal. If you're looking for a unique and immersive experience that combines the beauty of Nature with the realities of homesteading, Cassiopeia's Hideaway on our regenerative agriculture homestead is the perfect choice for you.

Cassiopeia's Hideaway - Geodome
It was a great camping experience, we loved the geodome and the property was beautiful. The geodome itself was very clean and organized, and had everything we could need for our time there. I would recommend! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Done sweet dome 🤗
Cassiopeia's Hideaway - Geodome
Myself and my husband absolutely loved our two night stay. The space was so clean, the bed was very comfortable. It was so tranquil and disconnecting from our busy lives. We even were blessed with some beautiful morning rain. The sound of the rain was so peaceful on the tent. We have family that lives nearby and will be staying here again.

Cassiopeia's Hideaway - Geodome
Cool space and gracious hosts. Rustic but comfortable. Fantastic sunset views out to the lake and Adirondacks beyond; light pollution is substantially less than in cities and suburbs. Water from the on-site well tasted crisp and clean. Farm animal noises are barely noticeable -- instead, birdsong predominates. Our hosts provided several small touches that show much thought went into preparing this space e.g., providing solar glasses for the eclipse. We stayed the first week of April, so there was some snow and mud, and nights were chilly but nothing the stove and heater couldn't handle. Things guests may want to bring which we found very useful include a headlamp or flashlight, a mirror, water bottles or other drinking vessels, cookware suited for a propane stove or fire pit, and a portable battery charger for phones and devices. There's no shortage of things to do and see within an hour's drive, and the hosts offered some excellent suggestions.
