Other things to note

LOCATION: This home is located on a 17-acre tract of land with another GeoDome. Both domes can be booked individually or together.

My goal is always to maximize privacy, and I’ve worked hard to create guest seclusion and minimize visibility from the other dome. With that, the domes are separated by 150 feet but are connected via a staircase that has been built into the mountain. If another couple is staying in the other dome during your stay, it is likely that you may hear them during your stay.

Finally, our ideal location and close proximity to Blowing Rock are a direct result of our proximity to NC 321. Guests should be aware that they may hear road noise.

STEEP MOUNTAIN DRIVEWAY: Please note that the driveway to the place is a mountain road that is ONLY accessible by AWD, 4x4. If you are not comfortable driving on gravel mountain roads or do not have a 4x4, AWD, or Front Wheel Drive vehicle, you’re welcome to park at a dedicated space at the top of the driveway and take a 450’ hike to the dome.

WINTER WEATHER: In the event of winter weather during your stay, you will be required to park at the top of the driveway regardless of what type of vehicle you arrive in. This does involve a short 350’ walk from that location to the GeoDome door. In general, fall is light and usually melts the next day.

HEATING/COOLING: The home includes both heating and cooling, as well as several space heaters and electric blankets. While we make every attempt to create a comfortable environment, the place is not insulated in the same way your home may be, and does not heat and cool like a conventional home or apartment. We’ll provide the heated blankets; please bring plenty of warm clothing in the winter.

PARKING: Parking is FREE and on Premises, but we are only able to accommodate ONE vehicle during your stay.

KITCHEN: During the winter months, the kitchen sink may be closed to prevent freezing pipes. If so, water is accessible in the fully functional and heated bathroom. As always, you're welcome to use the grill with the supplied grilling tools for cooking. You’ll also find a French coffee press, water kettle, and coffee/creamer/sugar in the event that the Keurig is not available.
