Luxury Spa Dome: Sauna & Hot Tub

The ultimate wellness retreat in the heart of Pisgah National Forest. Unwind in the barrel sauna, hot tub, & cold plunge just steps from the dome. This unique 400+ sq ft geodome offers breathtaking mountain views, perfect for couples or MTB enthusiasts. Luxurious amenities including a king bed, high-speed internet(fiber), a kitchenette, full bathroom. Heating/cooling via Mini split. MTB trails and stunning waterfalls a short pedal away. Romance & thrill await at this exclusive mountain getaway.

The Looking Glass Dome sits on top of a hillside. The road to the dome is gravel and steep at one spot. 4x4 is recommended. If you don`t have 4x4 or all wheel drive and don`t have experience driving mountain roads, we have a 4x4 polaris RZR UTV that guests can use with the signage of an additional waiver.

The Looking Glass Dome sits on top of a mountainside. The road to get to the dome has a steep section. Please reach out to us with details of the vehicle that will be driven. If needed, we have a 4x4 Polaris rzr UTV that can be driven up to the dome if needed. An additional waiver will need to be signed before using the UTV. The road is driveable by non 4x4 vehicles but care must be taken. If your unsure about this, please reach out to us.

The Dome is on a 6 acre property that borders the national forest. While the Looking Glass Dome is private, we do live on the lower part of the property and are available if needed.

Steep driveway to get up to the dome. If you don`t have 4x4 or All Wheel Drive, please reach out to us for a solution. Use of a 4x4 UTV is available.

Holiday Getaway

This place was a little gem, we decided last minute to try and find a getaway for the holiday, and we stumbled on the dome. The sauna, plunge, and hot tub added quite a wonderful experience, especially after the long day hikes in the beautiful nature nearby!! Great location, great host, and unique experience!

Beautiful

My husband and I stayed here for a super short anniversary getaway! It was a fun and unique stay! John could not have been more helpful and informative about anything he thought we may have needed. Super easy check in & check out. Very clean & nice. Loved the views! The hot-tub and sauna were amazing! Overall an amazing stay!

Relaxing get away!

We had a wonderful time enjoying our stay. Everything we needed was available. John was great with communicating and checking on us. The sauna and cold plunge was an excellent addition. We were able to unplug and be still creating an extremely relaxing get away. We will return.

Perfect for dates

It was the best date I've had in years. Hot tub and sauna, the best thing that can happen on a winter day. Everything is well thought out and perfectly organized. We will definitely come back again.

Wonderful and relaxing seclusion

To start, prior to the visit, John was very communicative and reasonable about any questions and requests we had, he even turned on the sauna and hot tub for us so when we got there we could just hop right in!The property itself is well away from the noise of the major roads in the area, and the drive there was beautiful on its own! The dome had a lovely view of one of the ridges, and overlooks the spa deck. It was raining when we got in, and John drove us up himself to make sure we got up the access road and into the dome.The rain was SO lovely to listen to on the dome and really speaks to the uniqueness of the accommodation. We had ample access to cook with a nice induction hot plate and toaster oven and a dishwasher. Everything worked as intended.The spa amenities were clean, as the bathroom and sleeping space were as well. It was great being able to freely move between, no schedule in mind and just relaxOverall, my wife and I really enjoyed the simplicity of the space and spa ameneties, John openly asked for feedback and what would be important for us. This property is also really close to mountain biking in Pisgah - some of the best in the world! He evidently cares that we had a great experience and we’re excited to come back and go ride some trails!
