About Property

Discover the ultimate wellness getaway at the Monarch Dome, a luxurious glamping retreat nestled within the serene beauty of Pisgah National Forest in Balsam Grove, North Carolina. Designed for couples seeking deep connection with nature and a total mind-body reset, this unique 400+ sq ft geodesic dome blends high-end comfort with a private sanctuary in the woods.

The interior is thoughtfully arranged to maximize relaxation and views. The sleeping arrangement features one bedroom with a plush king-sized bed positioned to offer breathtaking mountain views through a massive window. For additional guests, the living area includes a soft sofa that pulls out into a queen size bed, allowing the space to comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests. The layout is completed by a modern and stylish full bathroom.

Located on a hillside in the heart of the mountains, the property provides an immersive forest experience. While the Monarch Dome shares a hillside with the Hummingbird Dome, the layout is deliberately designed to ensure privacy. Guests can spend their evenings stargazing from the deck or relaxing by the fire, though it is noted that sounds can travel across the mountain side.
