Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Cute, cozy and comfortable! I discovered this property by accident and what a happy accident it was! Dome Sweet Dome was everything it was described to be and more. The thoughtful design, welcoming atmosphere and amenities that met all our needs are beyond description. I want to highlight that the owner spared no expense in providing only the best brands and quality for every item in the home- from the hairdryer to the coffee machine to the high end dinnerware. The stargazing theme resonated throughout and set the mood for the place. The location is breathtaking and filled me with peace every morning. Last but not the least, the host was extremely courteous and ensured that questions were answered in a timely manner. Would I stay there again?- in a heatrbeat! ##### Radhika G.
