Dome Sweet Dome: Dark Skies, Astronomy & Planetarium

My husband and I LOVED the dome! We stayed here for a long weekend and it was everything we were hoping for. Beautiful property, private, but close to the small town to pick up groceries and check out the cute shops. Everthing was exactly as described, the space was larger than we expected. The bed was very comfortable and there was more than enough extra towels, blankets, sheets, pillows, etc. Im a "clean freak" and this place was spotless. Very clean, comfortable and the space theme is so fun and perfect for the location. We saw a ton of deer and some other small wild animals while walking around the area which was very fun. We went to the hot springs 30 minutes away and it was easy to get to from the dome. We will gladly stay here again!

My husband and I LOVED the dome!

"Very Charming Airbnb. We really enjoyed our stay and loved the planetarium theme, complete with telescope and dark skies! Hiking trails are very nearby but what we really came for was a quiet, peaceful place to unplug, and that exceeded our expectations. Definitely recommend!"

Very Charming Airbnb!

"We adored our stay at Dome Sweet Dome! The house was gorgeous and we loved the theme throughout the property. The surrounding vista was breathtaking. Erin was a fantastic, responsive host and has excellent taste. It was difficult to say goodbye to such a wonderful getaway, but we are looking forward to coming back."
