Luxury on the Edge of Traverse City, Enjoy Privacy & Tranquility Under the Stars

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. This incredible dome-home has 1023 sq. ft. of living space with majestic views. That's over three times the size of a hotel room. The 20' tall ceiling contributes to an ambiance that is difficult to adequately describe other than "amazing."

Geodesic Dome Home #11 sleeps six (6) adults - more if you have small kids. The master bedroom area features a handcrafted king-size timber frame bed. There is a second bedroom space with a queen-over-queen bunk bed. This bunk bed is extremely sturdy and capable of holding four adults. The two bedroom areas are separated by a wall with closets. Each side has its own closet. The interior of the dome is open and spacious with 1,023 square feet of living space - that's over three times the size of a hotel room. The 20' tall ceiling contributes to an ambiance that is difficult to adequately describe other than "amazing." The living room space has a full-size sofa and a coffee table. There is a dining table and chairs. Should it rain, there is a TV to stream your favorite movie. There is a private, indoor bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom has a full-size tub and shower.

Outside you will find a second bathtub. This outdoor bathtub is private and positioned so you can enjoy a relaxing bath while listening to the soothing sounds of nature. In addition, there is 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 eleven (11) additional geodesic dome-homes. If this one does not have the desired dates available, or you would like an additional dome-home for a friend or family member, check out our other listings. Also, those domes listed with an extra bed - the beds take up minimal space. Each dome still has all the amenities for a wonderful vacation.

Peaceful oasis
The area was very spread out with domes far enough that you felt that you were in nature by yourself. The weather was pretty cold and the heater worked pretty good. I liked the s’mores kit and welcome refreshments. The furniture was very earthy and the pieces of wood that created the inside area were beautiful. I have stayed there twice this year and look forward to another trip next year.
