Item descriptionThe dome is basically a giant tent. If it's cold outside, it's more likely to be cooler inside, and if it's hot outside there's a good chance it might be very warm inside. We provide a wood fired pellet stove during winter stays which helps take the edge off and can keep it very cozy if you keep it running. (we do suggest warm clothes and slippers for the winter). We also provide lots of blankets and a heated blanket that can be used on the bed. During the summer we have an air conditioner that mostly runs off of solar. This helps keep the temperature down.

We provided firewood for use during your stay. Please keep the fire inside the firepit. If there is a fire ban in place, we ask that you abide by the law. Fines can be very expensive.
