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 #12 sleeps six (6) adults - more if you have small kids. The master bedroom area features a massive, handcrafted king-size barnwood bed that is positioned to provide incredible views of the surrounding pristine forest. There is a second bedroom space with a queen-over-queen bunk bed. This bunk bed is extremely sturdy and capable of holding four adults (or 5-6 children). The living room space has a full-size sofa and a coffee table. There is an indoor dining table and chairs. Should it rain, there is a TV and WI-FI 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 under a beautifully decorated gazebo. This outdoor bathtub is private and positioned so you can enjoy a relaxing bath while listening to the soothing sounds of nature.

Additional amenities include an indoor kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and an electric double burner countertop stove, AC & Heat, firepit, outdoor barbeque, hammock, and outdoor gazebo. The gazebo has an outdoor dining table and chairs. We provide one complimentary bundle of firewood for each day booked.

The dome has 1023 square feet of living space. Each dome's exterior has several thousand additional square feet of space for enjoying the outdoors.

Privacy - the domes were designed to provide privacy and a unique interaction with nature. The domes range anywhere from 80 feet to 250 feet apart, but even the ones with only 80 feet between them have a buffer of trees and shrubs, affording privacy. Each dome’s social area is on the opposite side of the other, providing additional privacy.

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.

My husband and I loved this VRBO!! It was so quite and comfortable. We felt like we were in the middle of no where but then just a quick drive to so many shops and fun things to do. I have come home and told everyone I know that they need to go here for just some quiet time!!! Loved it!!! Thanks for everything Rob!

Cozy getaway
What a unique place to stay. Would highly recommend it. The private fire pit and hammock outdoors was very relaxing, the decor inside was charming, and the place had a warm ambience about it. Would stay again! Host, Rob, was very quick to respond to questions & made sure we had what we needed.

Just what we needed
My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the dome. My kids favorite part was sitting around the fire every night. The location was very close to everything including grocery stores, restaurants, beaches and beautiful TC. Rob is a great communicator and provided us with everything we needed for our stay.

Dome away from home!
My family absolutely loved the dome away from home! It was a nice relaxing vacation. My boys enjoyed the s’mores kit and seeing the family cat roaming in the evenings. We spent most of our time at the dome, but did venture out to play Putt-Putt and visited two beaches: Elk Rapids and East Bay. Everything was as described and the host was very responsive! We were able to meet them both, very nice people! I would definitely recommend this vacation spot!

Amazing unique property
This property was an amazing unique place to stay. Close to everything you need but secluded enough to make you feel like no one else is around. Owner was very responsive and made everything feel like home. Would definitely stay here again if we’re ever back in the area.
