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 and 1.5 miles from Turtle Creek Casino. This incredible dome-home has 1023 sq. ft. of living space with majestic views. That's over three times the size of a hotel room. The 20' tall ceiling contributes to an ambiance that is difficult to adequately describe other than "amazing."

Geodesic Dome Home #14 sleeps two and features a massive, handcrafted king-size barn wood bed. The dome's interior is open and spacious with 850 square feet of living space - that is almost 3x the size of a hotel room. The 18' tall ceiling contributes to an ambiance that is difficult to adequately describe other than "amazing." The living room space has a full-size sofa and a coffee table. The dining table and chairs are positioned to provide incredible views of the surrounding pristine forest. Should it rain, there is a TV to stream your favorite movie. 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 soothing 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 300' 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.

NOTE: Our resort has nine (9) additional geodesic dome-homes. If this one does not have the desired dates available, or you would like an additional dome-home for a friend or family member, check out our other listings. Also, those domes listed with an extra bed - the beds take up minimal space. Each dome still has all the amenities for a wonderful vacation.

To see the other listings, type in or cut and paste - Geodesic Dome-Home, Williamsburg, Michigan - into the search bar or message me, and I can forward VRBO links.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Thank you so much! The one hundred & thirty-nine (139), 5-star reviews we have received during our first season are everything our families and staff planned, wished, and prayed for! We will continue to add new amenities to make this the most unique vacation spot in all of Michigan! Thank you to all the wonderful guests who have stayed with us for making our first season so incredible. To the new guests considering staying in one of our geodesic dome-homes, we will do everything in our power to provide you with a unique, northern Michigan experience.

Great Hideaway
I had seen this property on YouTube and thought it would be cool experience and it was. This was one of the last stops on our Michigan adventure. The weather and the leaves were amazing, what a beautiful piece of property. I guess there are complications getting to this property, but if you follow the owners instructions we had no issues! The kitchen has some equipment for cooking and we had no issues making meals. Very kind host basket as well. Had all the makings of s’mores!

Amazing stay!
Such an awesome place! Wonderful scenic view with a touch of glamping atmosphere. The dome was beautiful and very clean, it also included everything you could possibly need for a weekend getaway. Perfectly located away from the busyness of town but within reasonable distance to everywhere we wanted to go. Rob was a great host answering any questions we had before arriving. Great recommendations on pizza and places to visit. We cannot wait to book again!!

Absolutely wondeful stay in the middle of nature. Convenient to many parts of the scenic Traverse City/Torch Lake area. Very modern and clean geodome. Rob was an amazing host as we had the chance to meet him while there. Don’t think twice about booking this property. Do it now as you won’t regret this truly unique experience!
