Unforgettable Dome with Fire Pit and Forest Views in West Cook, Minnesota

Description

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Directly on the Pincushion Trail System (which links to the Superior Hiking Trail) you will find endless hiking options steps from your front door. This dome is 5 minutes from downtown Grand Marais where you can eat at amazing restaurants, hear great live music, enjoy time by Lake Superior, and explore beautifully curated local shops.

The dome is off-grid, with no heat or cooking supplies, so plan for an elevated camping experience!

A fun glamping experience, our domes offer a rustic stay with beautiful forest views outside your large window and a lovely private fire pit and eating space next to the dome. Inside you’ll find two twin beds (with the option to push them together to make a king bed). There is plenty of floor space to accommodate a third or fourth guest if you bring camping mats to sleep on.

Amenities provided:
-two pillows
-drinking water in gallon jugs
-a kettle for boiling water
-a coffee pour over
-a fan
-a wash basin
-dish soap
-paper towels
-two mugs
-a cooler
-a bottle opener
-some games and books to enjoy
-cleaning supplies
-firewood for your firepit

The dome is a short hike (approx 200 feet) from the designated parking area and there is one parking spot designated for each dome. If you need a second parking spot please contact us to arrange this. We do provide a cart if needed to help carry your bags to the dome. We also provide firewood for the fire pit - the cart can come in handy to haul wood from where it is stored by the garage.

There is a clean and classy outhouse a short walk (approximately 30 feet) from the dome. If you desire a shower, we highly recommend the YMCA in town (a 5-minute drive). You can get a day pass for $12 to use their complete facilities. You can also get a $4 shower at the Grand Marais Rec Park.

This is a self-clean dome, which means that you don’t need to pay a cleaning fee! Instead we ask that you pay it forward by tidying up before you leave for the next guests.

There are no linens provided at the dome, so plan to pack these for your stay (pillowcases and either two twin sheets or a king sheet). We recommend warm sleeping bags or blankets, especially in the cooler months of May, June, September, and October. It can get chilly at night anytime of year so bring layers if uncertain what bedding to pack.

We provide jugs of drinking water for use during your stay. Bring a camp stove if you’d like to cook at the dome. You are 5 minutes away from amazing shops and restaurants if you want to treat yourself in Grand Marais. We ask that you store food in a cooler in your car to prevent attracting animals to the dome.

There is electricity in the dome that can accommodate one plugged item at a time- light for the dome, boiling water in the kettle, the fan, or a charger for your phone. There is cell phone coverage at the dome for most major cell phone providers but no wifi service. We hope that you will enjoy your connection to nature and each other instead!
