About this property

Cozy, Seasonal Geo-Dome with Heat/AC on Private Hiking paradise in Gunks.

Closed for the season! Come escape to one of our Modern Geo-Domes located up on the Shawangunk Ridge in Gardiner, NY. This cozy seasonal dome (HEAT + AC) is a part of The Awosting Club, which is a private wilderness reserve. Unplug, relax, unwind.

Nestled in native blueberry bushes, high above a beautiful ravine and surrounded by pine trees. This Geo-Dome overlooks the Palmaghatt Kill Stream from its wide windows and beautiful deck. Equipped with a log queen bed, skylight above, super soft linens, cozy blankets, and a down comforter in the colder months. Included are towels, a mini fridge, bluetooth speaker, lantern, umbrellas, a mini library of books and 1 gallon water jug for drinking. If you are coming as a family, one additional children's mattress on the floor may be added.

Outside of your Geo-Dome you will find an amazing private fire pit and hammock. Firewood bundles are available for purchase for $10 or you may bring your own. In addition, each site has an outhouse, which is thoroughly cleaned after each guest. A bit rustic, but there is no odor!

Geo-Domes are a short 1 - 3 minute walk from parking. Please dress accordingly in winter months. You will be greeted by our Host at the gate for check-in and guided to your site. Guest waivers to be completed at check-in. Our Geo-Domes are dog friendly and require a $75 pet fee. One dog maximum. No cats allowed. You will have cellular service!

There are miles of private trails for hiking with an amazing private waterfall as one of your destinations! We are adjacent to Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve (both a 20 minute drive to park entrance) which offer mountain biking, rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, rock scrambling, views of the Catskills and more! Just 20 minutes outside of the colorful and active town of New Paltz, NY with many options for dinning, shopping, and entertainment.

We are happy to connect you with a local massage therapist or tour guide. Send us a message for more info on how to make your stay more relaxing and fun! Nature is calling!




**History of The Awosting Club**
In the mid 1950's John Atwater Bradley, then a graduate student, attended a conference in Cragsmoor, the site of a celebrated art colony not far from what is now the Awosting Reserve and The Awosting Club. The next morning at dawn, he went out for an exploratory hike and did not return until long after dark. Bradley hiked through evergreen and hardwood forests, along bubbling streams, roaring waterfalls and shimmering mountain lakes. He discovered an incredible wilderness like none he'd ever seen, populated by whitetail deer, black bear, fox, raccoons, bobcat and coyote as well as a natural aviary of hawks, peregrine falcons, owls, eagles and pileated woodpeckers. That day he fell in love with the Shawangunk Ridge.

The Bradley family still lives on the property, and after 50 years of sharing the property with educational organizations, schools, artists, writers, explorers, camps, family and friends, are excited to invite others to fall in love with the Shawangunk Ridge as John Bradley had over 70 years ago. Bradley's daughter, Camilla, and her family are keeping the Awosting traditions alive by sprucing up the camp buildings and platforms while maintaining the trails that have been used for decades for outdoor adventures: from sleeping to eating to playing to communing with nature in all her glory.

I can't wait to come back!

This was such a great place to stay!! I had so much fun with my two boys (12 & 14). We visited and hiked around the property and also at Minnewaska State Park. We all had such a wonderful time. Great getaway place for a small family or just a couple!

Absolutely exceeded our expectations! This place is a true gem. Kristen greeted us at the gate and showed us to our amazing dome. She was so welcoming and accommodating. The dome was so cozy and the view was absolutely breathtaking. They have a great hiking trail on the property that led to an awesome waterfall. We will definitely be coming again!

Relaxing getaway

My boyfriend and I came up to get away from our hectic schedules for a weekend. We had a wonderful time being surrounded by the lovely landscape and in such a unique place. We went to the town Pine Bush about 15 minutes away for food and had the best pizza at Tosco’s. Overall this VRBO was the best experience I’ve had yet!

If you're ready for an "off the grid" experience in the midst of spectacular scenery, this place can't be surpassed. It's in a drop dead gorgeous environment with plush interior and panoramic views. Be ready to accept no indoor plumbing (though a water cooler is provided along with a small refrigerator - there is electricity). This means outhouse, which is meticulously maintained but cold if staying other than summertime. The price tag seemed extravagant and we had a bit of buyer's remorse after clicking on the no-refund link, but after staying there we have no regrets about the money spent. One of the most unusual places we've ever stayed. "Glamping" at its finest.

Even more amazing than the photos

This place is amazing! The geodomes are very cool. They are decorated nicely, and they are immaculate. Way better than even the photos show. Of course you are in the woods with whatever lives there, so keep that in mind. It was so cool to have the view, the deck, heat/air, a fridge, electricity, places to charge phones, etc. It was nice hearing the stream over the side of the mountain below. They even had bottled water, head lamps, flash lights, bug spray, umbrellas, hand sanitizer, towels, etc. Everything you need! Even the outhouse was clean and smelled clean. There was one other geodome nearby in the distance, which does not impact your stay or view. The caretaker Scott answered all of our questions and he is hysterical. He can take you from where you park your car right over the hill up to the domes in the ATV. Be sure you're driving a car that can navigate bumpy/gravelly roads and won't get stuck (esp. in winter). He can even make lunches and dinner for you and deliver it to the dome. This place is really awesome. Wish we had stayed longer and hopefully we can come back. Thanks!

Really cute and a nice getaway from the city

The geodome was very cute and spacious and we greatly enjoyed how nice Scott was. Grilling was difficult as we only had a mini lighter available for us, but otherwise we had pretty much everything we needed provided by.

One of the MOST amazing experiences in a while!!!

Oh my goodness! This place is magical. Everything from Camilla’s prompt responses to a wonderful service of Scott on the property - my husband and I had the best 3 days/2 nights there. This is glamping in its purest form. The bed and sheets were like at 5* hotel, there’s an AC and a heater (hello winter!), and everything is SO well thought!!! All the details you can think of - there’re there!! So if you’re looking to escape the city and get some time with the nature - it’s a great place to go! We did the bonfire, grilling, we enjoyed the porch with the mountains views, and did some hiking. Absolutely recommend it!!!!! We’ll be back for sure
