The Looking Glass Dome sits on top of a hillside. The road to the dome is gravel and steep at one spot. 4x4 is recommended. If you don't have 4x4 or all wheel drive and don't have experience driving mountain roads, we have a 4x4 polaris RZR UTV that guests can use with the signage of an additional waiver.

The Looking Glass Dome sits on top of a mountainside. The road to get to the dome has a steep section. Please reach out to us with details of the vehicle that will be driven. If needed, we have a 4x4 Polaris rzr UTV that can be driven up to the dome if needed. An additional waiver will need to be signed before using the UTV. The road is driveable by non 4x4 vehicles but care must be taken. If your unsure about this, please reach out to us.

The Dome is on a 6 acre property that borders the national forest. While the Looking Glass Dome is private, we do live on the lower part of the property and are available if needed.

Steep driveway to get up to the dome. If you don't have 4x4 or All Wheel Drive, please reach out to us for a solution. Use of a 4x4 UTV is available.
Please be respectful of the sauna and other deck amenities. Quiet hours after 10pm. Pets are allowed but must be on a leash when not in the dome or on the deck. Pets are not allowed on the bed/furniture. Please only bring well behaved dogs as we have additional rental units on the property that are also pet friendly. We have another airbnb listing on the property that shares the parking area. Please be respectful of others and park appropriately so multiple cars can be in the parking area. Do not bring blankets outside the dome.

Perfect for dates

It was the best date I've had in years. Hot tub and sauna, the best thing that can happen on a winter day. Everything is well thought out and perfectly organized. We will definitely come back again.

Wonderful and relaxing seclusion

To start, prior to the visit, John was very communicative and reasonable about any questions and requests we had, he even turned on the sauna and hot tub for us so when we got there we could just hop right in!The property itself is well away from the noise of the major roads in the area, and the drive there was beautiful on its own! The dome had a lovely view of one of the ridges, and overlooks the spa deck. It was raining when we got in, and John drove us up himself to make sure we got up the access road and into the dome.The rain was SO lovely to listen to on the dome and really speaks to the uniqueness of the accommodation. We had ample access to cook with a nice induction hot plate and toaster oven and a dishwasher. Everything worked as intended.The spa amenities were clean, as the bathroom and sleeping space were as well. It was great being able to freely move between, no schedule in mind and just relaxOverall, my wife and I really enjoyed the simplicity of the space and spa ameneties, John openly asked for feedback and what would be important for us. This property is also really close to mountain biking in Pisgah - some of the best in the world! He evidently cares that we had a great experience and we’re excited to come back and go ride some trails!
