Peaceful Riverside Dome

Beautiful scenery, between the wood stove and the river makes a very cozy night

Beautiful scenery

Really cool place! Beautiful views! Once the dome warmed up (it was -15c at night outside) it was very warm and cozy, really happy with it!!! Great connection time. Highly recommend it for couples! Another one of my favorite parts was participating in the “fire therapy” … loved it and can’t wait to try it during the summer!!!!

Really cool place!

What a great little spot. This time of year I really start to miss camping and this dome gave the perfect option with the cold and snow. Even without running water it was easy to make do heating up water on the fireplace. The dome had everything I needed for a super cozy, relaxing, comfortable little nature escape with my dog. Waking up to the view and having coffee by the huge window was just perfect. Host was awesome, responded super quickly and went above and beyond.

What a great little spot

This place is absolutely magical. We were so relaxed and loved every minute at Jenna‘s place. It was extremely peaceful and calming and a good way to recharge. I highly recommend this place. It was clean, and the host had a bunch of stuff there that we didn’t need to bring in the end. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you!
