Great location within two hours of the DC metro area. The dome has a unique design with a wide opening to a beautiful sunrise view from the main bed. We enjoyed the fire pit, good lighting, well‑equipped kitchen, spacious bathroom, and the TV with all the major apps. The host was proactive and responsive throughout our stay.
The biggest downside was the water in both the kitchen and bathroom, which had a strong smell and made us avoid using the shower. A minor issue was some water leaking in through the main locked door during heavy rain.
Overall, it’s a lovely place with great potential. We’d happily return once the water issue is resolved.

My kids (7 and 9) and I loved our stay. It was the perfect getaway, a really unique spot. Modern touches on the inside while still feeling like you’re one with nature. It had everything we needed. We took advantage of the grill and fire pit. We had a blast. Highly recommend!

This place feels cozy and private, with some great views during the day and night. I was surprised by how well everything was stocked for a small space like a dome. Temperature rises a little in the mornings when the sun hits it directly but there is a small a/c and heating unit, so it’s comfortable even at nights with lower temperatures. Tony provided great information about nearby places to eat, visit, and hike and was always very responsive.

The dome was a great Airbnb stay for our Valentines weekend. View was great, location is great. It’s secluded but only 10 minutes from downtown Wardensville . A little bit of highway noise at night but otherwise a great stay.

A beautiful experience staying in a dome. The ability to stargaze from bed was a dream come true. Waking up to the sun in my face everyday! I question my lifestyle!! The dome was cozy, comfortable, spacious, clean, nicely decorated and truly magical place for a couple or family! Tony was responsive, friendly and available for any questions I had. Can’t wait to come back. Definitely worth the trip!

My family and I loved staying here for our Christmas vacation this year! Really beautiful modern decor inside. Very clean. Great communication from our host! I Loved all the details from the astronomy decor to the nightlights throughout to dimly light the dome at night fall. This property had the “wow” factor when we walked in! My favorite feature was waking up to the sunrise each morning from bed with the huge window view! This was the relaxing get away we were looking for. Everything exceeded our expectations, the only “con” I would say is the sulfur smell of the water due to it being from well water, but it wasn’t a big deal for us. Highly recommend! Thank you for hosting us:)

Wir hatten 2 tolle Nächte in dieser unglaublich schönen Unterkunft. Vom Bett aus konnte man morgens den Sonnenaufgang bewundern, die Tiere im Wald beobachten und abends in den Sternenhimmel schauen. Es war alles mit so viel Liebe zum Detail gerichtet, einfach perfekt.
Bei Fragen war Tony immer super erreichbar und freundlich. Wir würden Auf jeden Fall nochmal her kommen. Absolute Empfehlung 🙂
Das einzige was schon andere beschrieben haben war der Geruch des Wassers, wobei ich das nicht als Kritik sehe, denn das konnte man vor der Buchung ja schon mehrmals lesen.
Danke für den schönen Aufenthalt.

Summary
Experience starlit nights and quiet woods in Orion, a cozy glamping dome nestled in the West Virginia mountains. Wake to sunrise over the forest and stargaze from your dome each night
The Home
The night sky opens above the dome, constellations spilling across the dark like scattered diamonds. A gentle breeze rustles the surrounding pines as you step onto the private deck, the fire pit crackling and inviting you to linger. The scent of wood smoke mixes with the crisp mountain air, creating a quiet backdrop for conversation or solitary reflection. Inside, the dome’s warm glow welcomes you after a day of exploring the woods.
Sleeping arrangements
The loft‑style dome sleeps up to four guests. A king bed rests on the main level, while a queen loft bed sits above, framed by expansive windows that bring the night sky inside. A staircase provides access to the loft, making the space best suited for guests comfortable with a multi‑level interior.
Interior comforts
Heating keeps the dome cozy during colder months, and air conditioning is available when temperatures rise. WiFi supports streaming and remote work, while a TV and sound system offer low‑key entertainment for evenings in. The full indoor bathroom includes a shower and bathroom essentials, and a sound machine is provided to help you rest. Free parking is available on the premises.
Kitchen & dining
A compact kitchen lets you brew coffee in the morning and prepare simple meals for dinner. A dining table offers space for meals, board games, or planning the next day’s adventure.
Outdoor living
Your private deck extends the living area outdoors. The fire pit becomes a natural gathering spot for s’mores and conversation, especially on crisp evenings. A BBQ grill and outdoor seating let you enjoy meals al fresco, even when the air is cool enough to bundle up.
Setting & property notes
Orion sits on 35 wooded acres at one of the highest points of a private retreat in Wardensville, West Virginia. While another dome and a yurt are nearby, your dome has its own deck and fire pit, providing a sense of separation and privacy. A sound machine helps mask occasional road noise from a nearby state route, particularly in winter.
Area highlights
A short drive brings you to hiking trails, fishing spots, and Lost River State Park. Small towns nearby offer cafés, restaurants, and local shops for relaxed afternoons before returning to the dome’s warmth.
Winter travel considerations
Snow or icy conditions may require four‑wheel drive or tire chains, and travel insurance is recommended during winter months. Road conditions are outside the host’s control, and refunds are not offered for weather‑related closures.
Whether you’re stargazing from the loft, warming up by the fire pit, or simply soaking in the stillness of the woods, Orion provides a grounded seasonal escape centered on nature and quiet.
