“On the Rocks”
Not your average glamping experience. This geodesic dome has it all— full kitchen & bath, heat & air.
With no deck surrounding the window of the dome, our design simulates floating up at a height of about 14 feet above the forest floor below. Sitting on the deck or at the fire pit area, you can hear the creek babbling. Take a walk through the woods; you've got 10 acres to explore.
You are truly out in nature here at 4Creeks Cabin Co.
About This Space
-
This dome has it all! You will drive right up beside the dome and park next to the fire pit area to easily unload your belongings. On the deck, you’ll find outdoor seating, a gas grill, and space to hang out in nature and listen to the creek below. The fire pit area with outdoor seating and Breeo brand smokeless fire pit is just steps away. Bring your hammocks to string out or pay a small fee to borrow some!
Inside, you’ll be greeted with the giant, 20-ft window overlooking the forest. The living area has a couch and two chairs, an electric fireplace, and dining area for 4. The coffee bar is in the living area and features a tool cart stocked with all your coffee and tea needs. For coffee, you can choose from keurig or make a whole pot. Inside the cart you’ll find glasses, including wine glasses, on the left and a microwave on the right.
On the right upon entering, you’ll find the full kitchen equipped with full-sized refrigerator, electric oven/stove, sink with separate filtered water spigot, top-loading dishwasher, plenty of pots and pans, cooking essentials, toaster, blender, and more! This kitchen is stocked by someone who loves to cook!
In the middle of the dome, there is a wall that partitions the master bedroom and bathroom (over which lives the loft!) from the main living space and kitchen.
The master bedroom features a California King sized, green tea infused memory foam mattress bed with its own electric fireplace, plenty of outlets for charging your electronics, a 32” ROKU TV, places to hang your clothes (coat hangers provided) and fold-out luggage racks with storage. The linens are provided as are extra blankets if you need a little something more than the fluffy duvet!
The bathroom features a spacious 3’ x 4’ shower with sliding door, a vanity with single sink and plenty of counter and drawer space to stash your stuff. Toilet and toilet paper is provided for you. Towels are provided and more are available upon request. You’ll even find essentials available for your use in case you forgot anything for your stay.
In the living area you will find a ships ladder to take you up to the loft where you will find a queen sized bed with green tea infused memory foam mattress that is positioned to allow you to star gaze through the skylight, a 32” ROKU TV, and an additional floor seating area that converts in to a twin sized floor mattress (4” memory foam- great for kids). Linens are provided for all sleeping arrangements.
Parking is free and on-site, WiFi is free and available, and the hosts will give you plenty of trip ideas to maximize your vacation. You’re sure to enjoy a stress-free vacation in the forest and be stoked by the quick drive to local restaurants, shops, and attractions.

This dome is a private airbnb. You’ll have access to the entire structure except for the utility basement below.
You have approximately 10 acres available to you for exploring. Please abide no trespassing signs which mark the edges of our property.
-
The road leading to the dome is a gravel mountain road. Please plan accordingly and be aware that there will be bumps and rocks to encounter on your drive.
-
The dome does have a mini-split and electric fireplaces as well as an insulated liner. However, it is not insulated like a house would be and does stay cooler than a traditional dwelling. Please plan accordingly and bring warm clothing.
The road to the dome is gravel as mentioned above and can get icy. We try to keep the road scraped as best we can but cannot use salts due to the gravel. We recommend 4WD or AWD. A slower and steady climb up the hill is best (10 MPH and keep going, don't stop) when it's icy. If a neighbor is coming down, they know to pull off and let others come up before they go down! Please also abide by this policy to keep everyone safe.
At 3800 ft elevation, we get really high winds in the winter and fall. You may not be able to use the firepit due to this, so please just be aware that this is out of our control.

🐾 Pets & Service Animals Dogs only.
Two dogs max— please inquire about large or aggressive breeds prior to booking. Second dog incurs additional fee of $25 per stay. Stays longer than 3 nights incur additional fees.
We ask that your dog:
• Never be left alone in the dome - please crate if absolutely necessary
• Not be on furniture or beds
• Not roam freely outside - leashed at ALL times
• No excessive barking
• Any excess fur, messes, or damage must be cleaned immediately • Any damage caused will incur a fee (skin on dome and window are very costly- scratches to window or skin will incur damage fees) One note: you may hear or see neighborhood dogs roaming off-leash and barking nearby. That’s normal here — this is their home turf, and they’re not held to the same leash/quiet expectations as visiting pets. Thanks for helping us keep On the Rocks a great stop for every guest and their doggos!
If you are looking for a peaceful getaway this is definitely the place for you! A very nice experience and when posting photos on social media everyone wanted the link to experience the dome! Host is very responsive and understanding. Everything was stocked and super clean.

We had an amazing time! The home is beautiful and cozy, especially when it rains! Well-stocked with everything we could need for a comfortable stay and additional items were provided in the kitchen and bathroom that are often forgotten. Emily was very responsive and proactively provided clear instructions and local recommendations to further improve the quality of our stay. 10/10 - we would absolutely stay here again!

The dome is the coolest AB&B we’ve ever stayed in to date. It’s spotless, well stocked and beautifully crafted. You can tell that the hosts really took pride in building the structure. The location is perfectly situated in the woods while still being close to town. This is our third visit to the area and if we come back again I hope this is available to book because it was such a wonderful experience.

Our family of five was looking for an ideal mountain stay on our road trip back home to Wisconsin. This place was just what we needed. We decided to stay snug and cozy at the Airbnb making our dinner in the kitchen and eating around the fire. Our daughters loved the s’mores. My oldest daughter slept so well up in the loft area. The space was filled with details that reminds me of the beauty of staying at an Airbnb. Wild lavender hand soap, dad joke book on the shelf above the toilet, the incense in the bathroom, the books for kids in the loft. We can now check off staying at a dome on our bucket lists. Highly recommend this unique experience in the North Carolina mountains.

A great little spot in the middle of the woods! We had no problems getting a minivan up to the dome and it was just a short scenic drive from Boone and several attractions we were interested in. The dome was well stocked with cookware for fixing some homemade meals for the kids while they watched the rain splash on the HUGE window. Definitely going to look into it if we are in the area again.

The Dome on the Rock is amazing!! We had a wonderful experience. Emily was easy to communicate with. The instructions to get to the Dome were really clear. Emily gave us local recommendations and answered quickly. Super Host! The place is just wonderful. Super clean and well equipped. When we booked we were so excited. First experience for us in a dome. It was also a surprise for our 7 years old daughter. It is so quiet you feel like the time stopped. Exactly what we wanted. Inside The Dome is actually huge. Plenty of space for 3!!! We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. So peaceful. We will come back for sure!!
