Introducing the Maine Dome Cabin, a seductive 1980s Geodesic Dome in Western Maine, lovingly restored to perfection. As you step inside, you'll be swept away by the soaring 20ft ceiling apex and the incredible spaciousness that defies its modest exterior.

The interior contains an open floor plan with a stunning architectural design in the style of Buckminster Fuller. Every room flows into the next and from the loft you can take it all in. This is a great getaway for up to 10 people comfortably, with a maximum of 6 adults because we have just one shower.
A breakdown of the bedrooms and 2 bathrooms can be found below:
-Bathroom 1: toilet, sink, tub/shower, access via downstairs hallway
-Bathroom 2: toilet, sink, stand alone bathtub (no shower). Access via upstairs primary bedroom.
-Sleeping areas: Downstairs you have Bedroom 1 - Queen bed (fits a pack n play), Bedroom 2 - Two single/twin beds and child bed for floor. Upstairs you have Bedroom 3 (family room/master): Queen bed & single bed with single trundle. Loft 1: single bed pulls out to a king sized bed!
If the power happens to go out, it’s the indoor wood stove for heat (which heats the home beautifully!) We supply the wood! There’s plenty of flashlights for you. We do not issue refunds of any kind due to power outages.
In the back yard you will find the firepit for your use! Wood can be found along side the home and in the wood shed out back!

Getting Around:
You need a car - no way around it. It’s located on Route 232, a logging road and a significant cut-through for the area. We have a driveway that can fit 6 large cars parking and a great local plow team who will get you out in a storm. There is some road traffic noise inside the house. However, once inside the Dome and on our land behind it, you feel a million miles away. Being on a big road means we’re plowed out early, easy to find, and no mountain roads or 4x4 or special studded tires necessary. And added bonus of getting to see the real Maine industry in action - kids love sitting in the picture window and watching the logging trucks. Stop to go grocery shopping and bring water before you arrive at the Dome. Bethel has a small grocery store and the next big one is in Oxford, Maine. We have two full fridges and a mini fridge should you wish to bring many beverages.
Things Guests Need to Know:
An external security camera at the dome pointing at the driveway. They will be on. Only accessed (a) check on snowfall and plowing; (b) if noise/other complaints; (c) safety or concern for the property; (d) suspected extra guests/pet.
