Tennessee Glamping

Very nice getaway. We stayed in dome #3. There is a little bit of a climb to get back to your car. Dome was very clean and great for 2 people. We walked down to dome #1 and it is MUCH MORE of a hike to the car than the other 2 domes. Hopefully, we will be able to come back and we will either stay at dome #3 again or pick dome #1. It is a EASY walk to the car! Maintenance DIDN'T come out to clean the underside of the firepit when we called to complain about the clogged holes. (Solo stove) some of the jets didn't work on the hot tub either. I forgot to mention that in a list I left for those who come and clean.

Very nice place to stay, quiet setting. Beautiful sunrise, nicely furnished and clean. We stayed in Dome 1, Eagle's Nest. There are several steps down to it, but very private. Pet friendly. Only negative is the fire wood would not burn, either not aged or the fact that the fire pit was not cleaned out and over a third filled with ashes, so no airflow as intended. Highly recommend, snowed lightly when we were there so didn't get to enjoy hiking the local waterfalls.

I stayed at Dome 1 in November. Unfortunately, the experience did not match the many other 5 star reviews.

First the positive. The location and views are excellent. Stargazing on a clear night is amazing. We also enjoyed the provided games.

The negatives:

1. Our dome was simply not clean. Dust, bugs dead and alive, a dirty shower, more dust, a filthy coffee maker, and a very dirty grill/brush. We honestly left the place cleaner than when we arrived. I can't fathom the $100+ cleaning fee that we were charged for our stay.

2. There was a leak in the dome. It rained on our first night and water was dripping onto the loft area and down the wall. Luckily we did not need the upper bed for our stay.

3. The hot tub ran the entire time. The lid for the hot tub is not properly secured. That amazing peaceful stargazing I mentioned above is disturbed by the humming and vibrations of the hot tub.

4. One of the outdoor electrical outlets was a hazard. Picture included.

I realize that this is glamping and not a high end hotel, but a total cost near or over $1000 for 2 nights, I don't think the cost matches the quality. The domes did change ownership a couple of weeks before our stay. Maybe things are improving but that was not our experience. We were offered 10% off a future stay which was laughable.

We had so much fun in Dome 2 with our little fur baby that we didn’t even remember to sign the guest book before we left! We soaked up every minute enjoying these beautiful, peaceful views. Everything was perfect (even though it stormed our last night), the bed was comfortable, and several thoughtful touches made the experience even better. There wasn't an oculus in dome 2 that we had expected. We would love a re-do since we had a night of storms and forgot to sign the guest book, so we will for sure be back! Thanks so much for the great memories.

We stayed in Dome 3 for our first vacation together! The Dome is CLEAN and the layout is perfect and cozy. The two of us explored the trail outside of the Domes, as well as spent time at Cumberland Caverns and the GORGEOUS Greeter Falls! We spent a rainy morning with coffee, relaxing on the couch, and our evenings outside in the hot tub with a fire. We cannot wait to return and see what the other domes have to offer, but Dome 3 will always hold a special place for us!
