Luxury Geodome with Tons of Amenities - The Tranquil Star
Enjoy the sounds and beauty of nature when you stay in this unique dome! All the luxuries of staying in a modern home while seeing the stars from bed. This beautiful A/C & heated dome has a full kitchen, indoor modern bath & 2 beds. It also has amazing outdoor amenities to enjoy the night sky or the trees and animals that surround it. The private dome has an outdoor stock pool, shower & bathtub to enjoy under the bright Texas sky. It’s hard to call it glamping when you are surrounded by luxury:)
This beautiful dome is surrounded by trees and close to all of the favorites like Round Top, Brenham and Texas A&M University. We are also 5 minutes down the road from Lake Somerville so if you enjoy boating or jet skiing this is your place! It’s a fantastic opportunity for a romantic getaway, a family weekend or a girl’s outing that you will never forget!!!
It is a glamping experience but the dome has A/C and heat, a full luxury kitchen with seating for 4, a stylish enclosed bathroom and modern decor. The full kitchen is stocked with premium cookware and dishes, custom made cabinetry, stove, fridge, dishwasher, Keurig, french press, microwave, Berkey water filter and a designer hand painted tile backsplash that was created just for the dome. The indoor bathroom includes a beautifully tiled wall in shower, sink, toilet and an enclosed washer and dryer for your use. The bed mattresses are high end with luxury sheets that will provide a great nights sleep for your adventure.
During your stay you will have access to the entire private 60 acre wooded property, including the pond, if you like to fish or just sit and enjoy the water. There is an abundance of wildlife to see at the property, especially deer and various birds. Just sitting on the deck with a cup of coffee or swaying in the stylish swings with a glass of wine watching the life around you is an experience in itself.
In the warmer months there are numerous ways to cool off like the 10 foot cowboy pool, the outdoor bathtub, the outdoor shower or playing on nearby lake Somerville. In the cooler months you can enjoy honing your roping skills on our training cow, roasting s’mores by the fire pit, fishing on the pond, shopping at the various antique/trendy stores and restaurants, visiting the nearby wineries or enjoy a feast under the stars using the outdoor patio table and grill. Being on the deck at night is truly a magical experience with the Texas night sky.
There are 2 bedroom areas that are fully open to the rest of the dome. One has a super comfy king bed on the main floor and there is a loft with an equally comfortable queen bed that is fully enclosed by a railing. The loft is accessed by a permanent ladder with handles. The ceiling directly above the loft bed can open up to look at the stars. You can have the true cowboy experience sleeping underneath the bright Texas stars at night within the comforts of the dome.
Internet is available at the property but it is a remote location so it is at a slower speed. There is also a plethora of parking for larger vehicles or trailers.
If you are looking for a unique, stylish, relaxing stay, this is it!!! Come enjoy what nature and tranquility provides!! You won’t regret it!!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine and an ironing board.

Pure relaxation
This property is quiet, secluded and there is not a detail missing. The photos don't do it justice. The entire inside of the dome is like staying in an interior design magazine. It can get a bit toasty during the hot Texas summer days even with the a/c running but the dome cools off pretty quick once the sun goes down. If you are debating booking this just do it! It's worth every penny.

Perfection
Just what we needed for this visit to Roundtop as it was a quick trip with just the girls! EVERYTHING was smooth and we were able to come back after all day shopping to an relaxed atmosphere and play mahjong. I will always look for this property availability if coming again with the same group! Thank you for such a great experience!

Beautiful remote location to relax
When we look for somewhere to get away we look first for how remote it is. This was exactly it. It's a really creative separate opportunity to get away from the crazy. We really loved our stay

Geodome for the win!
Nicely maintained property with some fun amenities. Very private. The design of the home is well thought out and gives little surprises at every turn, with hidden places to stash things and keep things neat. The kitchen was too cool, full-on modern retro! Would stay again in a heart-beat

This was such a neat place! Great for a weekend getaway! Bethany was very accommodating and quick to respond. We came with another couple, but would definitely recommend for a couple looking to get away. Highly recommend!

Our Dome Home
Bethany, the host, provided a dome with Creative and Comfortable design, Everything you might have imagined was found in a " glamping kitchen" Comfortable, new linens and towels, inside seating with great media options. Outside deck is a play ground with Cowboy Tub, swings, grill, and outdoor fireplace. We weathered a Texas lightning storm safe, dry, totally unlike Camping! A 5 Star stay.
