    Weather was VERY cold during our stay! But the gas log heater inside the dome greeted us warmly and did a wonderful job of keeping us comfortable inside. We cooked our meals outside on the blacktop grill and ate on the deck admiring the creek and woods surrounding us. With below freezing highs and lows in the low teens, for a last minute get out of the city dose of nature it was a lazy relaxing trip, but would love to experience again in slightly warmer temps. Host, Paul, was very responsive and even reached out to check on how we got settled in as we had a very late after hours arrival our first night. Cleaner/caretaker Ricky and ladies assiting him were very kind also as they popped in to maintain equipment and set up other sites for more guests' arrival. Basic items were provided that made for a rustic feel and elevated camping experience.

    Charming place with nice stream and firepit which fits into glamping description. I would recommend the cleaning thoroughly: sheets/pillow cases had hairs on them when we arrived, many stains on the bedding (buy new ones), old scouring pad just sitting out, interior mold throughout, including on all over property paperwork, cooler smells, green slime on bottom of water reservoir of keurig, shower visibly dirty. To include a 30 cleaning fee in the face of all of this is too much or maybe lower nightly rate.

    Wonderful and relaxing area. Close enough to Boone to do stuff but far enough away to feel remote.The inside of the dome felt huge and the sound of the creek was such a calming backdrop to a very pleasant stay. Will definitely be staying here again.

    We got there a little dark and was excited to see the scenery in daytime it did not disappoint. It was beautiful and the sound of the creek water was so calming! The little touches around the property with motion lights and craftmanship or small attention to details was spot on. The property contact for questions was quick response time and very helpful. Can't wait to book again maybe in warmer temps next time but was a lovely and memorable experience for my family!
