Summary: Truly the best weekend of my life. The dome was everything we wanted and more. Extremely clean and fully equipped. The view was out of this world. The perfect place to unwind and relax. We utterly enjoyed the amenities on the property, like the suana, woodfire hot tub, aninamls, and blueberry picking. We also loved visiting all the little shops of the town that were just minutes away from the property. Couldn’t have asked for a better place for our engagement. The owner Justin even delivered a complimentary bottle of champagne to our dome. Thank you so much for everything ❤️
