About the host

Hosted by Melody Knoles

Host profile image
My name is Melody, and the DOME on the Hill is a family-owned property that was recently completely renovated and opened as a rental vacation home. All our family are Chillicothe natives. As for me, -- your host, I love music, jigsaw puzzles, & consignment shopping. I am a "people person", so I love meeting our guests and making sure their stay is everything they need and expect in their home away from home.

Why they chose this property

Nestled on top of a hill surrounded by nothing but trees, your neighborhood consists of maybe a few birds and the deer that cross through the field in the morning. The large yard is enclosed with a wooden fence and has a variety of trees and perennials around the property. Amazingly, being so private, our home is minutes away from a major highway and town, hiking trails, restaurants, and entertainment. The best of both worlds!

What makes this property unique

There IS no place like ours... period. There may be other domes, but this one was designed and built by an amazing engineer husband/wife team. The blueprints hang framed in the lower level, and a photo book lays on the coffee table which shows each step of construction. The house looks small from the outside, yet it is incredibly spacious inside. The unique structure allows loads of individual living and closet space, and fun, "unconventional" angled windows and walls. It's decorated with a "homey" atmosphere, with lots of color and comfort, and is meant to be lived in.
