Sunsets. Stars. Serenity. Organic Eco-Dome in Terlingua.
***ATTENTION*** Our site is currently in the process of adding more Domes. Construction is active on the opposing side of the property through April 2026. Workers will be on site!
ABOUT THE DOME: This dome was constructed entirely with the dirt beneath your feet... It's walls brightened with non-toxic, natural-paints... a wooden bed frame... & a luxurious organic mattress with warm, soft, linens. Here... We are committed to the highest quality, natural materials... because your body matters... Our Planet matters. This is not "green-washing"... this is genuine love for this earth & the want to share it. ------------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE DESERT: Some see the desert as a barren wasteland... a harsh place where life struggles to exist. But when one spends time in this place, they realize this is furthest from the truth. You see, the desert is not as egoic as the rest of the world. Its beauty is remarkable, yet requires a slowing down to see. It is a place full of contrast...It hosts the brightest of days & darkest of nights...This place seeks to reflect us, to teach us, to nourish us. Come. Its Time You Reconnect. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
YOUR SPACE INCLUDES: -5 Secluded Acres (will be shared with 1 other dome) -(One) Queen Size, Organic Birch Mattress -(Two) Eco-Rest Pillows -Organic Coyuchi Sheets & Natural Wool Comforter -Side Table with Large Terracotta Lamp -Marshall Speaker -Quaint Work Desk with Power Outlet & Small Sitting Stool -Electricity For Powering BASIC devices -Cell Service (Carrier Dependent) -A Clean, dedicated Porta-Potty (stocked with toilet paper) **There is NO shower/water on site (see notes below)** **No heating/Air conditioning... (see notes below)** ---------------------------------------------------------
NOTES: -Our Dome Stays Comfortably Cool in the Summer & Warm in the Winter. (This is due to the thermal mass of the structure)

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING: This is the desert. This property is totally off-grid & there is no heating or air-conditioning.

I Wanted to detach from the big city and get away from the blaring noises and the general public. I got to reconnect with nature and soak in the tranquility it had to offer. Overall fulfilling stay!
Super cool place! My husband and I had a blast. We brought two coolers and our water and we chilled out and just loved it. It’s roughing it a little but, but nothing that people who like to camp can’t handle. We will be back!
We really enjoyed our stay at the dome. The dome is small but still spacious. There are 2 plug outlets that can hold only cell phone/tablet/watch. No cell phone service (tmobile). The host did a really good job at giving instructions on how to get to the property as we lost cell service. The entrance to Big Bend is 20 minutes. The seclusion of the property was great! I would stay again if we decide to visit another time.
Exactly what I was hoping for and needed. I needed some time away off the grid and this was what I needed and more. I left 1 star for communication because I didn’t communicate with the property manager. They provided excellent notes and I had all I needed. It was my pleasure to experience this pace and I hope to again soon. I am so grateful for the experience and connection. I do recommend bringing a small fan it was a little warm in the evening. Thank you for building this property!
This place was absolutely amazing! Austin, the host is very responsive and personable. This place is very easy to find and if you have T-mobile, it doesn’t work unless you Starlink. Its a nice 20 minute drive to Terlingua and their is cell service along with many place to eat. The site is super dark and the stars are beautiful. The domes are surprisingly nice and cool and comfortable along with the bed and bedding. The Terlingua Ranch (nearest shower) is a nice scenic drive. Heads up the last 3 miles is a very rocky dirt road. I totally recommend this place to stay.
