Wonderful and relaxing area. Close enough to Boone to do stuff but far enough away to feel remote.The inside of the dome felt huge and the sound of the creek was such a calming backdrop to a very pleasant stay. Will definitely be staying here again.

We really enjoyed our stay! You can hear the stream from inside, providing a really tranquil experience to rest. Everything was just as the listing said. We would do it again.

So unique
We got there a little dark and was excited to see the scenery in daytime it did not disappoint. It was beautiful and the sound of the creek water was so calming! The little touches around the property with motion lights and craftmanship or small attention to details was spot on. The property contact for questions was quick response time and very helpful. Can't wait to book again maybe in warmer temps next time but was a lovely and memorable experience for my family!
