This was a great place to stay when visiting our daughter at GCSU. A quick 15-minute drive to downtown Milledgeville, a relaxing, quiet setting and much better than staying at a hotel!

We enjoyed our first experience of glamping in this dome very much. It really is out in the middle of a field in the middle of a forest so it’s a little bit scary. The dome itself is in good shape and everything in it is very nice and new. The mattress was comfortable. The walkway down to the dome is a little bit difficult with roller suitcase. It is large round gravel. The street number from the road is very difficult to see. Very small. We were there through a very loud heavy rain storm and it would’ve been nice to have a good battery operated lantern or Emergency candles and matches.
