About this property

The Emerald Dome


Sleep Under the Stars in Our Magic Dome!

Disconnect from the hustle and bustle of life and reconnect with nature in this peaceful dome located in Kaleden, BC. The dome is on 10 acres and borders 350 acres of crownland to explore. Includes a hangout area with a fire pit, patio table and chairs, solar lights, and an outdoor cooking area. There are lights and a charging station in the dome.

**This is a rustic off-grid glamping experience with access by 1 km of gravel road. It only has an outhouse, outdoor shower, and no cell or wifi service.

Outhouse & Shower: The outhouse is conveniently located just a couple of meters behind the dome. The outdoor shower is across from the outhouse and has heated water.

Work in Progress: This is our first year open, and we're still in the process of developing the retreat. As a result, you may notice some piles of sticks and dirt.

Off-Grid Living: Please note there is no cell service or Wifi at the dome. However, you can get cell service just a short 5-minute drive down the road. Sometimes you can get spotty cell service at the dome if you stand in the right spot.
The accommodation is heated and features a patio and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. The accommodation also includes a coffee maker.
