The Dome Cabin! 20+ Acres for Fishing/Family/Fun!
- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:No
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:No
This gorgeous, geodesic dome sits right on the North Fork of the Gunnison River . There's over 1/4 mile of river frontage for you fly-fishermen out there - GREAT trout fishing for rainbows, browns and cutthroat! The Dome is surrounded by a 20+ acre playground for your family to explore, fish, swing, play in the sandbox, zipline, lie in the hammock and listen to the river or just sit and watch an array of wildlife from our huge deck. We often see deer, elk, ducks, geese, bald eagles and wild turkeys sauntering by.
This cozy cabin sleeps up to 6 people: 1) queen sized bed and 1) double bed in the loft and 1) queen pull-out sofa in the den.

German Christmas and New Years at The Dome

(From The Dome's Guest Book): Thank you so much for the peaceful and beautiful time we spent at that amazing place! We really loved and enjoyed the North Fork Valley, the hiking trips around Crawford and along the riverside!!! We really loved the cozy and clean Dome, that everything we need was there, the awesome view during breakfast, the "hot-chocolate-time" at the porch, the quality-time in front of the fireplace, the awesome starts at night, the snow and the sunny blue sky!!! Rita and Jim - thank you for the lovely Christmas decorations and the always filled up firewood. It's for sure that we will be back some time (we hope soon)!!! Maybe around springtime or summer to enjoy the difference at that time!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

(From The Dome's Guest Book): Thank you for a WONDERFUL home away from home! This is a special place where your stress and cares can float down the river! The Dome had everything that we needed, plus thoughtful comfort items in addition. Rita and Jim are the loveliest hosts, and beyond that, became our next door friends!

(From The Dome's Guest Book): Thanks for sharing with us your peaceful mountain oasis with us again. And thanks to Jim and Rita for being such good hosts. Within an hour of arrival, all the stress of daily life just melts away... for those lucky folks who will be staying here soon, here's a recipe for a "Perfect Paonia Picnic": * Loaf of fresh baked bread from The Flying Fork (and maybe some cookies, too) * Some olive oil from Delicious Orchards for above (add salt and pepper to taste) * Gourmet truffle cheese from Black Bridge Winery & Farms... and while there, also -A few fresh-picked peaches, pears and apples -A bottle (or two) of Black Bridge red wine * And if you're still hungry, finish off with a slice of cherry pie from Delicious Orchards Enjoy! PS - Don't forget The Flying Fork Cafe for dinner... best restaurant in town!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Leave your every day lives for R&R

- Review Submitted 03/28/13
(From The Dome's Guest Book): We left our every day lives behind for R & R at The Dome on the riverfront in Colorado. The Dome, the setting, the river out front met all our expectations and then some. Kudos to the carpenter. This structure is magnificent. Close the window in the bathroom before you go to bed or you'll be sitting on a block of ice in the morning! We laughed, we relaxed, we played and had a fantastic time. The echo in the Dome caught us by surprise. It was good for chuckles!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

(From The Dome's Guest Book): Thank you for sharing with us your absolutely beautiful and peaceful "Dome away from Dome". I can't tell a secret in this geo-home. :) We certainly enjoyed all the amenities in your dome and the natural beauty surrounding it! We certainly appreciated Jim and Rita's warm and helpful assistance to everything including finding the light switch in the bathroom. To those after us - please take care of their Dome - we want to return again soon! (Did you see all the orchards?)Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
