The amenities were exactly as listed. It was great to have the mini fridge and microwave with coffee maker, hot plate and silverware and dishes. Bed was extremely comfortable. Was a bit more primitive than we expected.

Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the amenities and found the bed extremely comfortable.
We were a bit surprised by the comment that the experience felt primitive, as our dome is intended to be a glamping accommodation rather than traditional camping. Guests have access to amenities such as electricity, heating and cooling, a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, and a comfortable bed—features that go well beyond a primitive camping experience. That said, the dome is located in a natural setting, which is part of the unique charm and adventure that many of our guests enjoy.
Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to host you again in the future!
This property is in a gorgeous setting. Our dome was spacious, comfortable and clean, with a fantastic view of the mountains and valley below. I will happily stay again when I am in the area.

Really neat "glamping" experience! Hosts were very communicative. We were visiting Kings Canyon National Park and property was only about 15 min away. Dome was very spacious.

We stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and it was a breath of fresh air! We live in Las Vegas, and it has been a goal for us to visit Sequoia. The dome as just an added magical touch to our dream vacation. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property. The amenities were such a bonus! Definitely worth it! Thank you for making our anniversary so special and memorable

Excellent nature escape with all required comforts. We were pleasantly surprised to realise that Mike and Di had thought of and took care of all potential inconveniences while camping in the nature. We enjoyed the pure beauty of the location without having to give up all the comforts we’d otherwise have at home! Highly recommended.
What a unique and cool experience! My friends all wanted the information because they thought it looked cool. We just stayed for one night but it was so comfortable and cozy inside. The bathroom was so nice and cute. We had all we needed! I’d love to go back!
Yurt was as expected and pictured on listing. The bathroom was a little further than expected (and slightly uphill) which could make it difficult for someone who needs to go in the middle of the night. Otherwise, we really enjoyed this unique experience. I wish I would've know there was a mini-fridge, a microwave and some other kitchen items in the unit - we would've planned a dinner around that. A great location for visiting Sequoia.

Geweldig plek, en heel bijzonder. Van te voren goede instructies ontvangen hoe er te komen en hoe de self checkin gaat. Luxe Dome met alle voorzieningen. Eigen badkamer en leuke buitenkeuken.
Alleen geen checkout instructies, dus de sleutels ingeleverd waar we ze ook hebben gekregen tijdens de self checkin.
