The El Rio is available as an elegant 695-square-foot insulated dome and a luxurious king bed. The dome comes with Air Conditioning and Heat. It features a clean, southern boho setting that opens onto your very own private patio. Inside, the large bay window faces the south, where sunrise and sunsets over wondrous skies are nothing but magical.

Enjoy ultra soft linens, an array of extra warm blankets, an office work space, family games, a kitchen area accommodated with a compact refrigerator, plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses, eating utensils, and select bbq cooking essentials. We offer complimentary coffee, tea, spring water, and popcorn.

Create your own experience by taking advantage of the large open floor plan or private patio where you can enjoy yoga, barbie on the grill, or a glass of wine while you relax by the fire pit. This unit comfortably accommodates 2 people.

BATHHOUSE:
Within a few steps from your private dome, you will have full access to a Bathhouse Dome; a common space for guests to share. The Bathhouse has two (2) walk-in rain showers with spacious changing areas and two (2) restrooms built with privacy in mind. Enjoy complimentary Bath & Body Works products.

GUEST ACCESS:
You can find our location through GPS by searching “Sierra Dome Escape” or upon booking, you will receive step by step directions. During your stay, you will have full access to Terlingua Ranch Lodge. There you can enjoy access to a Mountain View pool, cafe, and laundry room.

Please note: Terlingua Ranch Lodge is 15 miles away (26 minute drive) on an asphalt paved road. The last 3 miles are gravel only with a speed limit of 15 mph. 4-wheel drive vehicles recommended.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE:
Sierra Dome Escape is located in a natural desert environment, home to cacti and thorny vegetation. Guests are advised to exercise caution, as we are not responsible for any tire damage or injuries resulting from contact with natural desert flora.

The property is entirely powered by the sun, and our solar panels can only support what is already on site, plus your phone chargers and other low consuming devices. Keep in mind that on a stormy day, there will be less power available. In case of really bad weather (rare), there could be no power at all and therefore all amenities requiring electricity won’t work.

We are not responsible for weather, car trouble, car towing, change of heart, pandemics, natural disasters, or any other unforeseen event making guests wish to cancel. Thank you for understanding.

    This place is great. It has everything you can think you would need (or forget).Just very short drive in to town and big Ben. Amazing view of the starts just right outside your dome. I would definitely recommend this place and will be staying again in the future.

    Generally good instructions everything worked well. A few glitches, nothing that diminished the experience. We enjoted the dome thought it could have been cleaner.

    The location is a little drive but not far from the Big Bend park. The place had everything we needed. We ended up grilling every evening. The sunsets and sunrises were perfect at our location. (Blue Door). We both agreed that we would stay here again.
