Amazingly Unique Getaway

Having seen this experience advertised on social media, my partner and I decided to try it out. It is absolutely and literally a one of a kind stay. Everything was picture perfect and the location lent to relaxation and solitude - but there are some wineries around if venturing out is needed. Would definitely recommend!

Lovely anniversary weekend

My husband and I had the most relaxing time at the glamping dome! Accommodations were comfortable with all needed amenities available. We used the recommended app that comes once you reserve to plan activities. We went on a bike ride in the nearby Tunnel Hill bike trail and went to Paducah for a lovely dinner at The freight house. All was lovely! Would definitely recommend some time at Shawnee Hills Glamping dome!

“Glampiversary”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner was great and all of the information we could have needed was given in a timely manner and easily available. The dome was clean, well stocked and so relaxing. We cannot wait to come back! It is far from anything, so we stopped for lunch on our way in and got food to go for dinner, which was a great decision.

Overall the dome was amazing, really quiet and would totally stay at it again. The one criticism I would have is the lack of a dual lock on the door. There are basically one way locks on the door, a better functioning lock would make the dome feel much safer. But we loved staying there and would stay again.
