Treetop Dome at Carolina Domes

🌿 TREETOPS DOME — Luxury Glamping in the Blue Ridge Mountains

Escape to Treetops Dome, a 30-ft geodesic retreat perched on a private 2,000-sq-ft deck surrounded by forest. Soak in your private hot tub under the stars, rest easy in a plush queen bed, and enjoy a cozy loft with twin beds—perfect for couples, families, or friends.

Inside, sunlight pours through panoramic windows, connecting you to nature while offering all the comforts of home. The kitchenette is fully equipped for easy meals, complete with a BBQ grill, dining nook, and warm mountain charm.

Up the rustic stairs, the loft bedroom provides a peaceful perch to wake up with the sunrise. The bathroom’s rock shower feels like bathing beneath a waterfall, and after dark, you can unwind on the deck beside your fire pit or jacuzzi, surrounded by forest sounds.

🦋 In summer, the hillside bursts with wildflowers, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding even more wonder to your stay.

Guests have full access to the 15-acre Carolina Domes property, including hiking paths that wind to the mountain summit. You’ll also meet Petunia and Pickles, our friendly rescued pigs who love a visit and a snack.

🌄 Explore Nearby

You’ll be perfectly situated to experience some of Western North Carolina’s most iconic sights.

Spend a sunny day at Lake Lure (20 minutes away) or hike to the top of Chimney Rock for breathtaking views. Explore the waterfalls and forest trails at Catawba Falls or wander the scenic Hickory Nut Gorge.

When it’s time to relax, head to Old Fort—just 25 minutes away—for a laid-back afternoon at one of its three new craft breweries. For more dining, art, and music, visit Black Mountain (30 min) or take a short scenic drive to Asheville (50 min), home to farm-to-table restaurants, live music, and the world-famous Biltmore Estate.

We provide complimentary cleaning—no hidden fees—and we’re always just a message away if you need local tips or assistance during your stay.

Please note: this is authentic mountain glamping. Expect fresh air, natural sounds, and the occasional bug. The dome sits on a steep incline, so good footwear is a must and it may not suit guests with mobility challenges.

Incredible property and hosts!

The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly! The property itself was gorgeous and I only wish we could have stayed longer. My favorite part was waking up with an incredible view and how clean everything was. We were pleasantly surprised to see the property is enclosed with a gate and fences for our dog to roam. I can’t say enough good things about this place! The only drawbacks were the uphill gravel road that made it difficult to drive up and the lack of hot water which the hosts were very eager to fix for us!
