9/10 Wonderful! (14 reviews)

My husband and I really enjoyed this! It is a little chilly but they have heaters/ fire place and heated blankets. The host was very easy to get a hold of (go to thier website for number). Also, double check correct address, we took address from Expedia and put it in our Apple Maps and it took us to the wrong location for the first time (look up to golden circle glamping domes, NOT the lake one). Also, I would definitely bring some sort of dinner if you have not already ate because there's not really too much around there- there is a restaurant, but it closes a little bit early, so just beware of that!

We liked the unique location in the geothermal river valley and the views from the room. Hot tubs were appropriate for the location and very relaxing. Staff were helpful and the breakfast buffet was good. Dinner in the restaurant was great, with several options that were cooked using the hot springs.
