Come glamp in style this Fall 🍂 ✨

We still have a few nights left in October and plenty in November - with so much to do all within 20 minutes of the dome.

Hiking, biking, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, site seeing, local farm to table dining, micro-breweries and more.

You’ll have everything you need for a fun and relaxing mountain vacation right around the corner 🏔️

We wanted to assure our family, friends, future and past guests that Smoky Mtn Dome WAS NOT impacted by hurricane Helene.

The dome was actually one of the few places that never even lost power during or after the storm.

There are also no road closures in the immediate area surrounding the dome currently and the closest towns (Dillsboro, Sylva, Bryson City) are fully accessible from the dome.

There is currently no Wi-Fi or cell service at the dome and much of the surrounding areas, although there are places in the towns surrounding the dome within 15 mins - where Wi-Fi is available.

We mourn for the close towns of Waynesville and Asheville who have faced devastating impacts from this storm and hope to be able to contribute to the semi-local businesses that were affected.

Thank you to those who have reached out and we will continue with updates on service as they come.

The layout - we did something unique by making our bathroom separate from the dome itself. We call it “the bathhouse.”

We didn’t want the bathroom to feel crammed into the side of the dome. We wanted a large, luxurious shower and space where guests could unwind and clean up after a day enjoying their outdoor adventures.

Which is why we built it separately and gave it a spa-like aesthetic 💆‍♀️💆‍♂️

We also thought it would be something fun for our camping, Glamping and outdoor enthusiasts to get to “feel” the elements for two steps between the dome and the bathhouse. I say “feel” in quotes, because of course, we provide cozy, warm robes for this two-step trek 😆

Who said you couldn’t have a large flat yard AND all the mountain vibes & views? 😍

We haven’t done one of these before, so meet your hosts of 🥰

Our names are Tawnie and Wayne and we are so happy to be able to share our dreams with you.

We are “glampers” ourselves and currently live in our 5th wheel while we rent out our home away from home on Airbnb 🤍

We’ve been living in a camper since the beginning of 2021 (we moved into it shortly after getting married) and stayed in it on the dome property for most of the time that we were building. When we weren’t there, we were traveling the country in our camper.

We are currently in the process of building our second Airbnb in the neighboring town of Bryson City - , so we are local to the dome right now and are happy to help our guests in any way we can 🫶🏻

We are originally from Florida, but have always been in love with the mountains of North Carolina, it is where we got engaged 🥹 we plan on eventually putting more solid roots down here when we are ready to start a family of our own, but in the meantime enjoy the ability to travel back and forth between here and our previous home state of Florida to spend time with our families.

Just wanted to share a little background on us and let you know how much we appreciate all of you who choose to stay at our dome and share your memories and experiences with us.

It literally lights up our worlds getting to know we brought a special place to you and your loved ones and we sincerely hope your stay at our dome will be one of the most memorable trips of your life 🫶🏻

Because having a space to cozy up and watch a movie after a long day adventuring in the Smoky Mountains is important ✨
-
We are one of the few domes where you will get to enjoy a space like this because we made our bath house separate to keep the floor plan nice and large and open. Plus, this allowed for a large luxurious bathroom and shower 🚿
-
The futon in the living space doubles as a guest bed if you have more than 2 people 🤗
-
Summer dates are still available in June - September

20 minutes from our little mountain haven 🏔️

Tubing past waterfalls on a pretty mountain creek in Great Smoky Mountains National Park? That's exactly what you can do in the Deep Creek area of the Smokies near Bryson City, North Carolina. Grab a tube on your way into the park, follow the trails in, and float back to where you started.

Star gazing at the dome is always amazing, but our last guests got to experience the Northern lights and shared this image with us 😍 How incredible!! 🩷

Sometimes all you need is a mountain getaway in the woods 🙌🏼

View the beautiful Great Smoky Mountain NP, breath the fresh mountain air, hike some awesome waterfalls and then get some pizza afterwards!

Would you stay in a Luxury Glamping Dome?

A family of 6 fox pups and their parents have been showing themselves frequently along the road up to the dome 🥹 🦊 they’re so stinking cute.
-
If you will be visiting the dome this month, please be careful as you approach the switchback right before the driveway, as they’re a little too bold with going out on the road with vehicles around.
-
But on your drive up, look up (about 20 feet from the road) and to the left around the switchback - they’ve made their den near a fallen tree and they have been very active 🧡

Smoky Mountain Dome is now categorized under “design,” as well as “domes,” “national parks,” and “countryside” on Airbnb 🤗
-
Thank you to everyone for the incredible reviews you have left to help us earn this category. It means a lot as we really tried hard to make this space a cozy and aesthetically pleasing sanctuary 🤍

Last Fall, the dome wasn’t complete yet but the colors were phenomenal. Here are some shots throughout the stages of Fall - starting in late September through mid November. 🍁

There is still some availability in September - November, but we don’t expect it to last long. Make sure to plan your fall getaway soon 🤗

Some moments for the interior at
-
We get lots of comments about the decor inside of the dome and are so happy you all seem to enjoy it so much 🥰 so just sharing some captures that from took!

This is the kind of privacy you have when you stay at
-
Disclaimer - to get this kind of mountain view and privacy and in an unrestricted area that allows domes (unique structures), the road up is also an adventure. It is not paved, it’s 1/3 mile of gravel and it’s windy because, well, it’s in the mountains! We can assure you that it is doable and much better than all the alternatives we had when choosing a lot of land to build the dome.
-
A bonus most people don’t realize is that this was the only unrestricted lot with a mountain view that ALSO had cell phone service. Service is unbelievably hard to come by when up in the mountains 🏔️
