Luxury on the Edge of Traverse City - 8

Enjoy an intimate experience with nature and all the amenities of a luxury resort yet only minutes away from Traverse City's finest restaurants, beaches, wineries, shopping, and golf. Only 3 miles from the Great Lakes Equestrian Show and 1.5 miles from Turtle Creek Casino. 780 sq. ft. of living space with majestic views. The dome is spacious and 16' tall. Enjoy a private bathroom complete with a bathtub/shower, vanity, and toilet, kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, and hot plate. AC and Heat.

Geodesic Dome-Home #8 is handicap compliant and sleeps six. It features a massive, handcrafted king-size barnwood bed that is positioned to provide incredible views of the surrounding pristine forest. A dividing wall separates the bedroom spaces. On the backside of the wall are two handcrafted timber frame twin-over-twin bunk beds sturdy enough to support four adults. If you have small kids, you can fit more. There is a private, indoor bathroom and kitchen.

Outside you will find a private firepit, barbeque, and hammock. We provide one complimentary bundle of firewood for each day booked.

With 75 acres of private land surrounded by state land on three sides, you will have access to miles of trails for hiking and birding. Pine, cedar, spruce, and cherry trees provide a natural privacy barrier from neighboring accommodations. Neighboring accommodations range from 80' to 300' away. Please be careful driving in or out in the evening as there is an abundance of deer and other wildlife in the area. We seek to provide you with a unique, intimate interaction with nature, yet you are only a few miles away from the best of Traverse City.

NOTE: Our resort has nine (9) additional geodesic dome-homes. If this one does not have the desired dates available, check out our other listings.

PET POLICY

We are dog lovers. We have two of our own. We did realize at the end of last year that we must put a pet policy in place. A guest last year left their dog all day in the dome, and it barked the entire time they were gone disrupting the experience of other guests. This was a dog with a deep, loud bark. The dog barked for eight hours straight which was impressive as you would think it would lose its voice after a few hours. Everyone’s nerves were fried by the time the people returned.

We recently had a guest that asked if they could bring their dog. Even after reading this policy, they let their dog bark for almost an hour. It was not continuous, but it was 5 to 10 seconds of stressed-out, loud barking, and then silence. Every 5-10 minutes there was a barking outburst. I think they tied it up outside, and it wanted to come in the side. The dog was trying to get their attention. I really did not want to have to walk down there and have a talk with them as we are trying for everyone to have a nice experience. I was very close to walking to their site, and then it stopped for the evening. The problem is the other five domes in the area. This had to disrupt their barbecues, campfires, and evening.

Everyone knows their dogs. Our two dogs would not bark if we left them somewhere unless they were startled. This is understandable and acceptable. If you have a dog that will bark from separation anxiety, we ask that he/she not be left alone (or outside alone while the family is indoors). If you feel, the dog would only bark if startled, then we are fine with a dog. If you are going to leave for a few hours, we ask that it be kenneled and left in the kitchen/bath structure – NOT left in the dome. The kitchen/bath structure has more insulation, and the occasional bark will not travel through the entire property.

The other requirement we have for pets is that they are not allowed on the beds. We have already had to replace two comforters this year because we were not able to get the dog hair out. Please try and bring a dog bed. If you cannot, we leave an extra sheet in the dresser drawer. This is specifically for your dog. You can lay this on the floor in an area and your pet is welcome to sleep on this. Dog hair on the comforter is subject to a $100 replacement fee.

If you agree to these pet policies, you are welcome to bring your dog.

We are located on 75 acres and surrounded by thousands of acres of state forestry with trails. You can walk for miles and miles. This is the perfect property to take your dog for a nice long walk. If he or she will run after a deer, fox, raccoon, or porcupine, then we strongly suggest a lease as you are sure to see wildlife.
During your stay at this apartment building, you'll be close to Turtle Creek Casino. A kitchen and a TV are available in the apartment.

  • 7 minutes by car from Turtle Creek Casino and 9 minutes from Flintfields Horse Park

Dome away from home
This was our second time visiting the domes and the first with our dog. The accommodations are superb and we can’t wait to return.

Amazing unique family getaway!
The hosts have a spectacular place. We loved the little gifts of wine for us, and the s'mores basket. We also loved hoe dog friendly our stay was too. Definitely a great spot for families or couples. So close to everything youd need.

Beautiful and Unique
This was a very fun property to stay in. The geodome was super comfortable, the beds and furnishings were perfect, most comfortable bed we stayed in for our entire trip. I wish other properties had such nice bedding and mattresses. A little more information in the binder would be a great idea such as where the laundry facilities are and where the stove is. We discovered the propane burner on the gas grill so we were able to cook the meals we had planned. There is no full stove or oven (just the single burner on the grill and a countertop toaster over). But we made what was there work for our needs. We also could have used a small table or a shelving unit in the bathroom. There was no where other than the floor to store our toiletries which I wasn't going to do so I improvised something using the baskets that were in there. Really appreciated the s'mores ingredients and the bottle of wine that was provided. Overall a lovely stay and we would recommend to our friends!

The perfect getaway!
Staying here was so relaxing and being able to be close to downtown traverse city was the best. The smores were a nice touch and we enjoyed the campfire :). If we ever come back, we would definitely stay here.

Glamping to the max!!
Awesome new way to camp, with every thing you need without the hassle of bringing. The living dome is also very new and cool. It’s awesome at night with all the stars and we even had a night of rain which made it so cozy. Would highly recommend and stay again!!
