Unique Glamping Experience

Staying in a geodesic dome was a fascinating experience! The dome was cozy with a space heater that kept us warm during chilly nights. I loved gazing at the stars through the transparent roof while lying in bed. It truly felt like a luxurious escape into nature.

Water Fun Included

I thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary kayaks during my stay! Paddling on the lake every morning was such a peaceful way to start the day. They even provided a waterproof bag for our excursions, making it super convenient. Well worth the experience!

Comfortable Beds

Despite some mixed reviews on comfort, I found the bed in my dome very comfortable. After a day of hiking, I appreciated the coziness and was able to rest well each night. Waking up to the sounds of nature was an added bonus!

Refreshing Shower Experience

The bathroom facilities in the dome were quite decent. I particularly enjoyed the shower, which had great water pressure—perfect for rinsing off after a day of outdoor activities. It was a refreshing experience to step into after a busy day!

This resort spa was a lovely retreat with clean and comfortable amenities, and a beautiful view of the lake that truly enhanced the experience. The staff made my stay enjoyable with their welcoming service. However, the dining options fell short of my expectations, especially at breakfast, and the pool area, while nice, could use a little more attention. Overall, it was a good value for a relaxing getaway.
