Perfect for dates
It was the best date I've had in years. Hot tub and sauna, the best thing that can happen on a winter day. Everything is well thought out and perfectly organized. We will definitely come back again.

Wonderful and relaxing seclusion
To start, prior to the visit, John was very communicative and reasonable about any questions and requests we had, he even turned on the sauna and hot tub for us so when we got there we could just hop right in!The property itself is well away from the noise of the major roads in the area, and the drive there was beautiful on its own! The dome had a lovely view of one of the ridges, and overlooks the spa deck. It was raining when we got in, and John drove us up himself to make sure we got up the access road and into the dome.The rain was SO lovely to listen to on the dome and really speaks to the uniqueness of the accommodation. We had ample access to cook with a nice induction hot plate and toaster oven and a dishwasher. Everything worked as intended.The spa amenities were clean, as the bathroom and sleeping space were as well. It was great being able to freely move between, no schedule in mind and just relaxOverall, my wife and I really enjoyed the simplicity of the space and spa ameneties, John openly asked for feedback and what would be important for us. This property is also really close to mountain biking in Pisgah - some of the best in the world! He evidently cares that we had a great experience and we’re excited to come back and go ride some trails!
