Capitol Reef Dome | Oak

Campfire and remoteness

It was an amazing experience! The dome was much bigger and nicer than I expected. We had a great time!

We had an incredible stay at Capitol Reef Domes – Oak for our 16th anniversary and couldn’t recommend it more. Will, the owner, was polite and communicative from start to finish, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. The dome itself was spotless and thoughtfully set up. The bed was super comfortable after a long day of exploring. The mini-split worked great and we were able to keep it a comfortable temperature. the whole space had that perfect mix of cozy and unique. We made use of the BBQ, which was convenient, and the fridge was exactly what you’d expect from a hotel—with a cuter retro vibe. The bathroom setup was excellent as well—assigned, very clean, and close enough to the dome to be totally convenient without taking away from the experience. One thing we appreciated more than expected was the location. The nearby highway actually made the dome easy to find, and noise was minimal and never disruptive. Plus, the proximity to all the Hanksville-area hotspots was fantastic—everything we wanted to see was just a short drive away. Overall, this was a memorable and comfortable stay with great attention to detail. We’d absolutely come back.

Clean room, everything was explained nicely

We loved the dome. Lots of games, bed was comfy, everything clean and inviting. Site was very secluded allowing great star gazing. Shaded firepit and lighting were an added bonus.

Wonderful domes close to Factory Butte and not far from Goblin State Park

Really unique place to stay. Like a tent but huge inside, and with a wood panelled floor, and electricity, and comfort. Problem for me is it was a really windy night which was loud and made the dome covering shake and flap against the dome’s frame. Definitely not the fault of the owners. Given the size of the dome there is room for a king sized bed, and for the price I would expect a bigger bed. Also, the water to the property is a very healthy mineral water with a mineral water smell. If you’ve ever been to Iceland you’ll know what I mean. Bathroom was 10 steps away and though small worked perfectly and was spotless clean. Wish there was a hair dryer. Last “wished for” item is outlets with USB-C connections, and fewer of the older USB connections. All modern phones, computers, etc. use the newer connection so make sure to bring your plug in adapter.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. That is the only word for this place. We were so impressed with our one night stay. We received an email with instructions a few days before. The instructions were more than sufficient. We got in after dark and had no issues getting into our dome. We walked in and it was just as the picture had shown, maybe even better. We struggled a tad figuring out how to get the heat running. Other than that, we settled right in. The bathroom is not in the dome and you have to walk about 20 feet to the bathroom house. But you have a bathroom with a shower, sink and toilet specifically assigned to your dome. We found it clean and well stocked. The bed in the dome was comfortable and we are actually considering purchasing the same mattress for home. We woke up to a nice view and sunrise. The outdoor area had a covered picnic table, grill and corn hole. Because of our schedule and the chilly night we didn’t get to use it but it was charming and would have been awesome to have had we been there longer. It was close to both Capitol Reef NP and Glen Canyon Rec Area. There is not much in Huntsville but we did eat breakfast at Dukes Slickrock Grill and it was very good and unique. If we are ever in the area again we will certainly stay here.

Absolutely incredible experience at the Domes! This is clamping at its finest!! All the amenities you could need at an amazing location. Surrounded by red rock and the stars at night go on forever. Thank you for an out of the box, but fabulous place for us to relax at after long days of hiking and exploring.

Our stay at the domes was amazing! Everything about it made our stay super great. Very very clean and decorated so awesome. The owners were so helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. It was a blast! We will be back!

I enjoyed this cozy stay near Capital Reef. The views were nice especially the stars at night. The bathroom and room was clean. It was perfect for the night. Nothing overly fancy but perfect for the setting.

The dome was spacious and the beds comfortable. Even though it was a cold windy night, it wasn’t too loud, felt quite sturdy, and the heater kept us warm. My disappointment is specifically with the “Oak” dome - the clear section faces another dome that has lights on their stairs so we weren’t able to see the stars because of the lights directly in our view. We tried using the curtains to block the lights, but couldn’t make it work. I don’t think the other domes have this issue and if it isn’t cold and windy you can just sit outside, but we were a little disappointed. It is definitely a fun and unique stay, but if you are a stargazer the other domes in the same complex might work better for you.

Great location to access all of the sights, nice and clean and comfortable.

A perfect distance between Hanksville and Capitol Reef, the dome was better than advertised. We had very warm days and fairly cool nights, and the wall unit was able to accommodate both with multiple fans included to help circulate the air if needed. The fridge is small, but it is a fridge/freezer combo. A propane grill and microwave made food prep a breeze, but every restaurant and coffee shop we visited nearby was exceptional (Outlaw’s Roost deserves its 5 star rating with a chipotle style menu). The shower/bathroom is disconnected from the dome, but all essentials are provided and the water was exceptionally soft. Coming from a city with very hard water, we were not expecting that. Lastly. The hosts are incredible. Response times are often within 15-30 minutes, and anything you need is provided quickly. We plan to return again!

Great experience in a beautiful place!

Fabulous stay! Host was very communicative and helpful. This was such a unique stay. We loved it. So clean! Just lovely! We love the story behind the domes, too. Thank you!!

Nice and quiet, perfect outdoor area for a fire. Very peaceful. We loved it!

Very comfortable, stars were amazing, enjoyed the fire pit and eating s’mores.

Great place, very very peaceful. What we were looking for.

Really enjoyed our stay here! The “Dome” makes for a unique experience! They are very spacious. It was close to the road but the traffic wasn’t an issue. Appreciate the private bathroom! Would recommend staying here and we hope to come back sometime.

I thought this was a neat spot. The dome was really cute and well decorated! The only thing I think would be helpful for guests to know before booking is that they should bring their own water to drink. I appreciated the sign in the bathroom about the water, and while I had no issues bathing in it, it would have been hard for me to drink. I would have grabbed an extra gallon of water before I headed out.

Amazing view of the stars and bats. I have since personally recommended this venue to friends who saw our pictures on Social media. Can't wait to go back again. Highly recommend this host and home.

Love the stay! Bigger on the inside than you’d think. Close to Capitol Reef which was nice. Good communication from the owner. Would recommend it and would also stay again!

Had a great time, the stars are beautiful out here. I highly recommend this place & definitely check out Capital Reef National Park

Little late getting this posted - but property was great. Everything was exactly as described and entire process was effortless from rental to check-in to check-out. Would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I stayed 1 night here as we were traveling through Utah. The dome was cool and the hosts were great. The only issue was the dome in front of us left thier outdoor lights on all night and they were so bright we had to close our curtains and didnt get to enjoy the night sky in the dome.

We loved our stay and enjoyed listening to all the amazing birds around us. Clean and comfortable.

This was a fun place to stay and a nice setup. I always wanted to stay in a yurt. Very grateful for a warm bathroom. We enjoyed the BBQ and having a fire at night. We live in the city, and I always look forward going to a place where I can see lots of stars. It's a bit close to the highway, but we did not hear anything traffic during the night. We slept great! The heater worked great after we googled how to work it. The picture shows a blue, larger refrigerator and dinnerware, etc. in the cupboards. However, in the Oak Yurt, the fridge is half the size. I was surprised how much food we got in it. There was a bare minimal supply of paper goods. We brought our own because we figured we would be camping. We loved the large window and the view all around us. However, I was disappointed that the top was closed. The pictures show the top opened. I'm sure there's a good reason for it being closed up. All in all, it was a fun and nice place to stay. We had a great time. We would stay there again!!!

The dome was a really fun place to stay! It had plenty of room and the outside area was cute too!

Clean, comfortable, close proximity to nearby parks. Awesome response from host, no issues. Will recommend to my friends who are coming to this area, felt like a retreat.

Our stay in your Dome Oak was unique and incredible. This accommodation reflects the landscape in its size and simplicity. We were just overwhelmed. We didn't miss anything. I've never seen the night sky like this before. Me, Steffen, will definitely come back. The planning is already underway. For me the best and most interesting stay of my entire US travels. Thank you!!! Steffen
