Luxury on the Edge of Traverse City, Enjoy Privacy & Tranquility Under the Stars

Enjoy an intimate experience with nature and all the amenities of a luxury resort yet only minutes away from Traverse City's finest restaurants, beaches, wineries, shopping, and golf. Only 3 miles from the Great Lakes Equestrian Show (also called Traverse City Horse Show) and 1.5 miles from Turtle Creek Casino.

Our dome-homes have 780 sq. ft. of living space with majestic views. That's over twice the square footage of an average hotel room. The dome-home is spacious with a 16' tall ceiling. Enjoy a private bathroom complete with a bathtub/shower, vanity, & toilet, kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, & hot plate. AC & Heat.

This Geodesic Dome Home sleeps five and features a hand-carved and hand-painted king-size deer bed with views of the surrounding pristine forest. A dividing wall separates the bedroom spaces. On the backside of the wall is a handcrafted twin-over-twin bunk bed capable of holding two adults (or 3-4 children). There is a private, indoor bathroom and kitchen. The bathroom has a full-size tub and shower.

Outside you will find a second bathtub. This outdoor bathtub is private and positioned so you can enjoy a relaxing bath while listening to the relaxing sounds of nature. In addition, there is a private firepit, barbeque, and hammock. We provide one complimentary bundle of firewood for each day booked.

With 75 acres of private land surrounded by state land on three sides, you will have access to miles of trails for hiking and birding. Pine, cedar, spruce, and cherry trees provide a natural privacy barrier from neighboring accommodations. Neighboring accommodations range from 80' to 200' away. Please be careful driving in or out in the evening as there is an abundance of deer and other wildlife in the area. We seek to provide you with a unique, intimate interaction with nature, yet you are only a few miles away from the best of Traverse City.

Unique property with tranquil setting
This was the coolest place I’ve ever stayed. So cozy and comfortable. Enjoyed the half an hour rain hitting the dome. Peaceful and beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Told many friends and family and they are all jealous. Others will be coming.

Perfect in every way
My stay at this property was absolutely amazing! The geodome and surrounding property is well maintained and uniquely decorated. Everything was very clean and comfortable. It's a very private location and I thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the sound of rain in the geodome, it was perfect. I was met with wine and s'mores to enjoy at the firepit. I have recommended this property to my friends and would visit again in a second. This property did not disappoint in any way!

Incredible
What an amazing experience. This was our first time to the area, and the mix of location and access to all that Traverse has to offer combined with the tranquil luxury of dome was perfect. Rob is a great host, and has designed the place as a stunning getaway, and he has thought of literally everything. We will be back!

Beautiful Getaway
We had the best family weekend in Williamsburg, MI and surrounding area. Rob was so responsive and easy to work with. The globe was in the perfect setting and the amenities were great- true glamping. We are already going to book for 2024. Highly recommend.

Will definitely be back!
We stayed here for a week while competing at a nearby horse show. It was super clean, easy check in, FANTASTIC communication and so unique and fun! Great details like s’mores supplies, fire wood, bottle of wine, games, etc. Can’t wait to go back! Rob and Gina are fantastic hosts and their staff we encountered were super friendly!

Beautiful secluded getaway close to the city
What a unique and beautiful resort! We thoroughly enjoyed our accomodations in a setting unlike any other. Communication with Rob was easy and responsive. The only critique I can make is that we wished there was a little more distance between our dome and the next one, but as the trees that have been planted continue to mature, it will feel more secluded. We felt like we had privacy, we just wanted a little bit more. Wonderful location!

Great experience!
Loved the dome and outdoor setting of this property! Very close to lots of activities, shopping, restaurants and wineries. Host was very responsive to messages, included a bundle of wood per day for a bonfire and smores! It's a brand new property so it was exceptionally clean. We unfortunately didn't see any wildlife, but hope to on a return trip.
