Baddeck Domes

Baddeck Domes

8/10 Good
"The Dome was very clean upon our arrival. The Dome gets very warm during the day, especially if the curtains are open. We suggest you keep the AC on to stay ahead of the high temp. Jeff, property manager, was extremely helpful and accommodated our needs. A reminder: the Domes do not have an individual washroom. It's glamping - a framed domed tent structure with very comfortable beds, a pull-out couch and the benefits of: microwave, keurig machine, pole lamp and power outlets. The washroom are in near proximity to the Domes. It is a quaint setup. The bathroom facilities need to be completed. It's a work in progress. Next season will be better functioning 😃"
