We were upgraded to dome 3 with a better view. Everything was absolutely perfect, and I don’t often give perfect reviews. Comfort is second to none, all possible amenities are present, everything feels brand new and is well thought-out, the view is magnificent, wifi works well, I really can’t even find one nit to pick. We would absolutely stay here again if we came back. Bonus: great hiking trails walking distance from the resort!

One of the nicest accommodations I’ve stayed at - Dome 1 was beautifully furnished and decorated, well-stocked and spotless, with all amenities needed and then some. The views were majestic - from the scenic lake to the starry sky at night while in the hot tub. Service was top notch and super responsive. Can’t wait to go back!

The check in time and check out time killed it for me. Also the $500 deposit that takes 7 days to reimburse. Check in time is after 4pm and the check out time is 10am for cleaning purposes. So they need 6 hours to clean apparently Anyways, not worth the amount they charge per night for the zero flexible time to check in and out

A beautiful, unique stay. Glamming at its best. You have your own fire pit and hot tub. Views of the lake from your private deck. Better amenities than a hotel. Great Wi-Fi too.
