We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner was great and all of the information we could have needed was given in a timely manner and easily available. The dome was clean, well stocked and so relaxing. We cannot wait to come back! It is far from anything, so we stopped for lunch on our way in and got food to go for dinner, which was a great decision.

Overall the dome was amazing, really quiet and would totally stay at it again. The one criticism I would have is the lack of a dual lock on the door. There are basically one way locks on the door, a better functioning lock would make the dome feel much safer. But we loved staying there and would stay again.
