The Aspen Geodome

The location & experience: Please read the entire description carefully for policies and off-grid considerations



Enjoy family & pet friendly geodome glamping year-round! Sleep under the stars in our private and peaceful off-grid geodomes in the Boreal Forest. Enjoy an enchanted, undeveloped and forested acreage. Unwind, spend quality time and enjoy uncrowded experiences in the area. Melt away all your stress away in our brand new wood-burning Nordic sauna - access is included in your stay.



Unwind in nature in one of the quietest settings, complete with a swing chair, a resort-quality Haven queen bed, futon, propane fireplace, star constellation projector lamp for ambiance, propane camp stove (outdoor use), picnic table (outside), propane fire table (outside, no wood-burning fires permitted) and eco-toilet (outhouse, outside). There is also a shared wood-burning Nordic sauna, a heated off-grid shower house with on-demand hot water and an eco-toilet, a second and third eco-toilet outhouse, a heated gazebo to cook and eat in with an egg chair, picnic table, commercial-grade patio heater, LED lights, BBQ and propane range and winter canvas walls. Our new cookhouse is a fantastic space to make meals together with lots of seating and counter space, an off-grid sink, prep space, a BBQ, a propane range and a pizza oven.



The 4-person occupancy of this geodome is based on 2 adults and 2 children. Please contact us with other group dynamics and we'll recommend the best options.



Please note: We have 3 geodomes on our property (and 1 seasonal treehouse cocoon), approx 150 ft away from each other. There may be other glampers and pets on the property during your stay.

This off-grid stay has basic power to charge your cell phone and laptop, but does not have full-wattage electricity or running water. Glamping is very much like camping in the sense that it is an outdoor experience - camping knowledge and essentials are required. Bring your own shower water jug (4L recommended), drinking water and camping food. If you're using the futon, please bring your own bedding. All bedding is provided for the queen bed.



Privacy: This 220 sq.ft. off-grid geodome is complete with curtains to close the large window and a commercial-grade tempered glass door that locks, and a privacy vinyl.



As you can see in the pictures, this is not a drive-up situation. Our geodomes are in the forest and as such please be prepared for a short walk from your car (100ft) to your geodome. Also, considering it is a forest, there are no paved trails and you can expect the same terrain you'd find in a forest anywhere else :) 



On-site shower + 3 eco-toilets: One off-grid shower house with eco-toilet and two outhouses with eco-toilets. The heated shower house features a luxurious Moroccan plaster shower, on-demand hot water heater (bring your own water, 4L jug recommended), hand washing station and eco-toilet. The outhouse features a eco-toilet (instructions provided) and a foot-pump hand washing station with soap (spring/summer/fall).

Never leave your pet unattended in our geodomes or in your vehicle on our property. This may result in you being asked to leave the property immediately. If your pet is crate trained, you may bring your crate and leave your pet inside the geodome.

Cleaning duties: 

Please note we don't charge a cleaning fee. All guests are required to complete light cleaning such as changing the bedding, sweeping, sanitizing surfaces, changing and taking garbage with them when they depart, closing windows and turning off propane. Our cleaner will come and perfect the unit after you depart, ensuring everything is clean and ready for the next guests.

Failure to complete your cleaning duties will result in you being charged a cleaning fee.

Extreme wind policy:

**The risk of trees falling due to high wind speeds is a risk in any and every naturally wooded/wilderness environment.**



Glamp Good considers winds over 55 kilometres per hour to be a potential safety threat to people, structures and personal items, as live tree falling may occur within this wilderness setting. Glamp Good monitors wind speeds daily, and in addition to any wind warnings/evacuation requests we send, we expect guests to also monitor wind weather conditions and protect their own personal safety. Based on environmental data, wind speeds of this rate occur in the area at an average rate of 5 to 6 days per year.

Guests must practice proactive wilderness safety and remain vigilant and aware of wind risks within the surrounding environment - in addition to our wind policy outlined above, guests must use their own judgement in any wind-related circumstances they find themselves in. If guests are uncomfortable with the wind speeds, we ask that they leave the property.

Guests are responsible for their own personal safety.
