About this property
Romantic and Unique Geo Dome Perfect for Stargazing and a Weekend of Exploring Terlingua Ghost Town
Sleep under the Milky Way in a hard-shell geodesic dome at the foot of our 100-foot volcanic hill in Terlingua, Texas, 11 minutes from Big Bend National Park. This is a private desert escape with panoramic dome windows, a string-lit patio and your own fire pit, in one of the darkest skies in the country.
INSIDE YOUR POD
• Memory-foam queen bed with a plush comforter and warm blankets
• Panoramic dome windows: stargaze straight from bed, or pull the curtains for privacy
• Air conditioning and heating
• Mini-fridge and prep corner
• Nebula lasers and an astronaut galaxy projector that light up the whole ceiling
• Neon alien art, disco ball and a hex-frame dome ceiling (it photographs well)
• Starlink Wi-Fi that works inside the pod · electrical outlets throughout
• Children welcome
OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR
• Private string-lit patio and deck with sweeping Big Bend and mountain views
• Your own rocket-themed stone fire pit

BATHROOMS (PLEASE READ)

LOCATION
On TX-118 in Terlingua: 11 minutes to Big Bend National Park, 5 minutes to Terlingua Ghost Town for restaurants, shops, mines, art, grocery and gas. Use Google Maps (Apple Maps gets lost out here).
