Summary

AI generated

The reviewer found Shawnee Hills Glamping lacking in maintenance, noting issues with entrance doors that needed fixing. They felt the experience did not meet the expectations set by the pricing, which was comparable to a 5-star hotel. The remote location limited access to local attractions like waterfalls, which are only visible for a few weeks each year.

We have been there with my girlfriend a while ago and I wasn't impressed. Glamping needed maintenance, for example entrance doors weren't closing properly I had to fix them. And there was a log of wood to block those so they were familiar with the issue for a while. For that price of a 5 star hotel you would be expect much more. It's in the middle of nowhere and we tried to see some waterfalls but locals told us that we can see those only few weeks a year.

Absolutely amazing getaway spot for you and your significant other! My words cannot describe how beautiful this place is inside and out. If you want a clean, boho aesthetic with outdoorsy vibes, this is it! My husband and I stayed here for our 13th wedding anniversary, as we usually camp primitively this time of year in Shawnee, this was a major treat instead! The bed is super comfortable, you can’t ask for more in the amenities (i.e., deck with hot tub and furniture overlooking the beautiful hillside, fire pit with chairs, washer and dryer (this is amazing to be able to wash your clothes as you dirty them and come home with all clean clothes), ROBES!, fridge, fully stocked kitchen with all main utensils, and a beautiful, fully stocked bathroom! This place has everything you need to just sit back and relax and enjoy your time and the view here! We DEFINITELY will be coming back! Hopefully can catch it in the winter for an entirely different vibe! Don’t hesitate to book this spot!

We were so glad we stayed here! It was spectacular. From the captivating outdoor setting to the lavish comforts indoors, this dome felt extraordinary. The meticulous attention to detail made our experience perfect. Whether indulging in the hot tub or admiring the panoramic sunrise, each moment was so good. Without question, this getaway was an unforgettable escape.

We stayed one night and can’t wait to go back! It was amazing opening the blinds in the morning and seeing a beautiful panoramic sunrise while staying in such a luxurious place. The bathroom was nicer than any hotel bathroom which is crazy for a Glamping dome! If you get the chance, BOOK THIS PLACE!

A magical place to reconnect to nature and each other. Viewing the lightening bugs while lying in bed was so peaceful. The interior is so comfy and welcoming. All the perks of camping with the comfort of a full bathroom, air conditioning and a washer and dryer. Do yourself, and your significant other, a favor and book ASAP!
