Pondshire Dome — Private Pond Retreat
Summary:
A private pond escape for two, with a king-bed dome, exclusive kitchen-cabin access, a dockside wood-fired hot tub and heated outdoor shower. Paddle the pond, fish with supplied poles and tackle, and relax beside the fire pit. Up to two dogs are welcome.
The Space:
YOUR DOME BY THE POND
Wake to water and woodland views from a king bed in your private geodesic dome. Enjoy a deck, pellet stove, lighting, fans, mini fridge, drinking-water cooler and Starlink Wi-Fi. Linens, towels and toiletries are supplied.
YOUR KITCHEN CABIN
Your dome booking includes exclusive kitchen-cabin access. Cook with a gas stove and oven, pots, pans, utensils, cups, wine glasses, coffee mugs and a stovetop espresso maker. A compact refrigerator and drinking-water cooler are supplied. There is no microwave or toaster.
Outside, use the wood-or-charcoal grill. Firewood is available; bring charcoal if you prefer it.
TIME ON THE POND
Enjoy two kayaks, two paddleboats and a rowboat. Paddles for the kayaks and rowboat, fishing poles and tackle are supplied. Six life jackets are available: one XL, one L and four universal around-neck jackets. Bring correctly sized children's life jackets if needed.
The wood-fired hot tub sits on the dock. Guests fill and heat it, so allow time for the water to warm. The heated outdoor shower overlooks the pond. Gather beside the fire pit or relax outdoors and watch for wildlife. Sightings vary.
BATHROOM FACILITIES
The dome has a convenience toilet for urination (#1) only. A separate outhouse is provided for bowel movements (#2). The shower is outdoors; there is no indoor full bathroom.

One guest group has the pond retreat to itself. Solar power and Starlink Wi-Fi bring practical comfort to the woodland setting. Switch off lights, fans and other devices when you leave the dome or cabin.
Up to two dogs are welcome. Clean up after them in walkways and busy areas, and do not leave them alone inside the cabins.
