The 4-person occupancy of this geodome is based on 2 adults and 2 children. Please contact us with other group dynamics and we'll recommend the best options.

Please note: We have 3 geodomes and 2 cabins on our property (and 1 seasonal treehouse cocoon), approx 150 ft away from each other. There may be other glampers and pets on the property during your stay.
This off-grid stay has basic solar power to charge your cell phone and laptop, but does not have full-wattage electricity or running water. Glamping is very much like camping in the sense that it is an outdoor experience - camping knowledge and essentials are required. Bring your own shower water jug (4L recommended), drinking water and camping food. If you're using the futon, please bring your own bedding. All bedding is provided for the queen bed.
Privacy: This 220 sq.ft. off-grid geodome is complete with curtains to close the large window and a commercial-grade tempered glass door that locks.

As you can see in the pictures, this is not a drive-up situation. Our geodomes are in the forest and as such please be prepared for a short walk from your car (100ft) to your geodome. Also, considering it is a forest, there are no paved trails and you can expect the same terrain you'd find in a forest anywhere else :)
Before booking: Please ensure you reflect the correct number of guests, children, infants and pets in your booking. Know that experience with operating propane appliances (and possibly changing propane tanks) is required to undertake this stay.
On-site shower + 3 toilets: One off-grid shower house with composting toilet and two outhouses with composting toilets. The heated shower house features a luxurious Moroccan plaster shower, on-demand hot water heater (bring your own water, 4L jug recommended), hand washing station and composting toilet. The outhouse features a composting toilet (instructions provided) and a foot-pump hand washing station with soap (spring/summer/fall).

Extreme wind policy:
**The risk of trees falling due to high wind speeds is a risk in any and every naturally wooded/wilderness environment.**

Glamp Good considers winds over 55 kilometres per hour to be a potential safety threat to people, structures and personal items, as live tree falling may occur within this wilderness setting. Glamp Good monitors wind speeds daily, and in addition to any wind warnings/evacuation requests we send, we expect guests to also monitor wind weather conditions and protect their own personal safety. Based on environmental data, wind speeds of this rate occur in the area at an average rate of 5 to 6 days per year.
Guests must practice proactive wilderness safety and remain vigilant and aware of wind risks within the surrounding environment - in addition to our wind policy outlined above, guests must use their own judgement in any wind-related circumstances they find themselves in. If guests are uncomfortable with the wind speeds, we ask that they leave the property.

Guests are responsible for their own personal safety.
