Awesome home!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Dome Home! The house is stunning and so spacious. Harman was extremely informative and communicative. The town was a quick 2 minute drive or you could walk if you want. I 10/10 recommend this property for anyone considering. One of the best Vrbo rentals I’ve ever had!

Private yet convenient!
This house is somehow right across from the slopes yet feels totally private. It really could not be a better location! The back yard has a fire pit and hot tub overlooking a pretty forest, while the front sits just far enough from the road to feel tucked away but has ample parking with quick access to the main road. The living room area boasts one of the largest sofas and TVs I’ve ever seen, so our group of eight was able to hang out, watch movies when it rained, or play music from the tv apps during cocktail hour. The owner could not have been nicer and answered any question I had right away. There are plenty of smaller rooms with seating so everyone could steal away if they wanted to make a private phone call or do some work. We didn’t have kids with us but if we did, they would have had a great time on the lower level which has a king suite plus a room with four twins and a mini living room with a kitchen. All in all, a great VRBO!

Great ski getaway at the Dome Home!
We (6 adults and 7 kids, ages 4-9) greatly enjoyed our stay at the dome home. The house is great and super convenient to the slopes. We enjoyed spending time in the hottub, kids explored the surrounding woods, skiing the slopes and hanging out together playing games at night. Highly recommend this home for families!

Idyllic Mountain House + Great Host
We rented this house for a family ski trip over four nights the week between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The house was perfect for our needs as it was well appointed and had everything we needed during our stay. The house has spacious and has three floors of living space (including a basement that has two bedrooms and another kitchen) - which was ideal for our group of seven people and three dogs. Everything at the property in terms of amenities worked perfectly although we didn’t get a chance to try out the outdoor sauna. The property surrounding the house gave you a secluded feel while still being close to the slopes and shops. Proximity to the slopes was important to us and the house was just a short walk across the street to hop on the Upper Flume run. The walk was short enough where my kids (7 & 10) didn’t complain about having to carry their ski equipment from the house to the slopes - which means it was a very easy walk. Lastly, the responsiveness and general communication with the host (Harman) both before and during our stay was second to none. He provided a great level of detail on the property and Snowshoe prior to our trip, then was very attentive to quickly answer any questions we had about the property during our stay. Our family really enjoyed our time at The Dome Home and would highly recommend this property and host. Our stay could not have went better.

Winter Vacation at the Dome Home
This place was amazing! It is just like the pictures and more! My husband and I brought our son and all of his college buddies to the dome for Christmas break! They had the best time and we had plenty of space for the 13 of us! Great location and just a short walk to the lodge and ski lifts. It happened to snow 10 inches plus while we were there so made the place and the woods beautiful! Thanks for all your hospitality and would love to make this an annual trip!

Memorable Autumn Vacation
We thoroughly enjoyed our family getaway at the Dome Home. It’s a beautiful setting with amazing sunset views, comfortable beds, and moss-filled woods all around, which we enjoyed exploring. We also enjoyed time in the hot tub and around the fire pit. And right behind the house is a wonderful road to walk or run on with an amazing view of the valley to the west. Harman and the cleaning crew were very responsive to the few requests we had. Our family of 15, including 6 children, enjoyed the space and the games, including giant Jenga and Connect Four as well as corn hole, all of which we set up out front one sunny afternoon. We were there during the two week period between the summer season and winter season at Snowshoe Mountain. While this meant that the restaurants were closed, it felt like we had the mountain to ourselves. The dining area was a bit tight for 15, but should work well for 12 or fewer people. Loved our stay!

Snowshoe Family and Friends Weekend
Our large group of family and friends loved the Dome Home. We spent a summer weekend there for GNCC dirt bike racing and it was the perfect fit for us. It is located just off of Snowshoe Drive and only a few minutes from everything that Snowshoe has to offer. There were 18 in our group and the house was the perfect size for us, there was plenty of room for everyone and the main living space was very well suited for a large group. There were plenty of bedroom and bathrooms and they were well furnished and supplied. The home was very clean and comfortable.The owner was easy to communicate with and replied to my questions quickly. There is a short driveway and a fairly large parking area, we parked 5 vehicles with no problems.

Spring Break in Snowshoe
The Dome Home was the perfect vacation spot for our quick ski trip over Spring Break. My college age kids, our family and friends loved this house! It’s the perfect location for skiing at any level. We had beginners and expert skiers in our group, and everyone agrees we couldn’t have chosen a better rental. There was a minor issue at check-in which was promptly resolved with no effort on our part. This house is incredible. It’s quirky, fun, and a great place for people of all ages. The host provided everything we could have possibly needed. Our group has decided we won’t go back to Snowshoe if this property is not available. That’s how great it is!

The Dome Home was a pretty special place. There were some really nice extra special touches…. From Toiletries to olive oil, salt and pepper, coffee, tea, sugars, a bottle of wine and snacks for the kiddos. There was plenty of space to spread out. We brought our two canine friends and there were dog bowls, dog towels, etc. There was an issue with the stove, but a work around was provided until a new unit was delivered and installed. We will definitely make our way back!

Amazing Home in Great Location
If you are considering renting this home, you should. We stayed here for a family ski trip and everyone, from kids to tweens to adults, loved it. First, the location cannot be beat. The home sits back in a nook in the woods, giving the feeling of being secluded, while being a two minute walk to an area where you can pick up lift tickets, lesson vouchers and rentals, along with a few restaurants. It's also a two minute walk to both green and black terrain, and a high-speed quad lift, making it a great starting point for the day, no matter your skill level. Second, the home is architecturally beautiful and very-well appointed, having just about anything you need for a short or long family trip. The great room looks like a Slim Aarons composition. The hot tub was a huge hit and the perfect place to relax after a day on the slopes. Third, the owner is great. We had a minor unforseeable hiccup that was addressed immediately and fully and communication throuought was excellent. Our entire family is looking forward to returning soon. Many thanks for sharing your home with us.

A perfect snowglobe - Cannot wait to go back!
The home is stunning in design, architecture and warmth. The kids wanted to move in as soon as they had explored and couldn’t choose which room was more perfect than the other. The Host left generous snacks, tea and coffee and details from a cool light up bar/entertainment room to soft soft blankets, fun wallpaper, and beautiful views. We were presently surprised to find that although the property faces a forest and mountains- making you feel perfectly secluded, you are literally walking distance from lifts on one side of the mountain and a 2-min drive to main village. We ended our day resting muscles in the hot tub, and canceled all dinner outs as the place is the kind where you don’t want to leave.
