Tucked in the middle of a maple forest, it's an experience that can be enjoyed in all seasons. There are trails on the property for hiking and snowshoeing and the Forest Dome is minutes away from the Bruce Trail. There are many local waterfalls to visit as well as beautiful lakes and rivers. Enjoy your evening around the campfire and in the winter be cozy in front of the wood stove.Park your car and walk down a short trail through the forest to arrive at the Forest Dome. There is a firepit and a small kitchenette, compost toilet, outdoor shower and bbq. Although it is close to the house, it is very private and quiet. The view from the dome's expansive window is magic. There are several nearby walking trails.

Dome

Tent/gallery. Quiet semi-private.

Lovely quiet space with forest view on one side and owners house on the other side. Large tent, very comfy is also a gallery for the owner’s wood carvings. Hot water and electricity is a bonus. Great area to visit water falls and hiking trails. A camp stove would be a god thing to bring. Single burner stove and well used bbq available. Kitchen is well supplied with plates, etc. Lovely dog on the property who loves to visit.

Dome

If you read the guestbook, you will see a number of comments on how "healing" and "magical" this space and surroundings are. I'm pretty cynical, but I went from "eye roll" to "OMG, they're right" within a few hours: there's something otherworldly about staring into the unending forest from the cozy comfort of your bed or watching the clouds cross the moon. There's wifi, but we stayed off devices - highly recommend doing so to get the full effect. There's a BBQ, wood stove, and hotplate for a kettle, so recommend easy-to-heat foods if you're staying in late fall/early spring or winter. It has all the kitchen accoutrements you'll need (except for your food). The outdoor shower was a brisk treat but there's hot water, soap, and limited toiletries. The dome itself is so cozy with its wood-fired stove, the sensation a quick shower outside in the cold is a lot of fun! There are some nearby walking trails that make for a pleasant stroll through the woods. Finally, Fran's an artist and the dome is home to some very unique pieces. There is much to stimulate the mind and senses in this wonderful location!

Unique & interesting forest retreat

We loved our stay at the Geo dome! The host was very quick to respond and ensured we had everything we needed. The dome was situated in the middle of the forest. It had a wood burning stove which kept us unbelievabley warm and cozy, the bed was comfy, and the bonus was it was filled with the most unique art. The kitchen and bathroom were in a tiny cabin beside the dome and had an outdoor shower. It was close to the host house but still felt very private. Waking up surrounded by trees had such a magical vibe! This was a very unique and interesting place to stay and would be great all year round. If you're looking for something different and want to connect to nature I'd highly recommend staying here!
