The place is very unique located in a very interesting small town. Check in was quick and easy, staff was very welcoming and friendly. A very good freshly cooked breakfast was served, an unexpected treat. The glamping dome was much roomier than I expected. Very comfortable, it did rain the night we were there so the viewing was not the best but the sleep was excellent.
