Sleep Under the Stars in This Geo Dome in Ohio

When you think of Ohio, what’s the first thing that pops into your head? Cornfields? College football? That time you drove through it on your way to somewhere allegedly more interesting? Fair. But Ohio is also home to some surprisingly breathtaking natural gems like Hocking Hills, a ruggedly beautiful region packed with waterfalls, sandstone cliffs, and trails that wind through fern-covered gorges. Oh, and did you know Ohio also boasts some of the best stargazing east of the Mississippi? Far from city lights, the night sky spills open here like a velvet curtain studded with diamonds.

Now, imagine wrapping yourself in all that celestial magic without sacrificing creature comforts. Enter: the Bunny Bungalow Geo Dome in New Straitsville, Ohio. This cozy, modern geodome is tucked onto 20 wooded acres, smack in the heart of Hocking Hills. It’s the kind of place that feels like you’re off-grid without actually having to give up Wi-Fi or running water. Think “forest hermit chic” meets spa weekend. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a much-needed solo escape, or any excuse to eat s’mores under actual stars instead of twinkle lights in your backyard.

This dome may look rustic from the outside, but inside, it’s all thoughtful details and modern charm. Picture this: a cloud-like bed with cotton linens and extra pillows, a rain-style shower tall enough for your NBA-height partner, and a dedicated workspace in case “remote work” mysteriously turns into “remote wine-and-Netflix.” The dome includes a full kitchen with everything from a Keurig coffee maker to a Frigidaire oven—because even in the woods, you deserve a decent breakfast.

And yes, there’s a hot tub. A private one. Open 24/7, year-round. So whether you're soaking in silence under a blanket of stars or laughing your way through a snow flurry, this place delivers that ahh feeling. It's got a hammock, board games, a Bluetooth sound system, and a fire pit where you can wax poetic or toast marshmallows in deeply introspective silence. No judgment.

If your idea of vacation is more owl-calls than Uber Eats, this dome is a dream. Tucked back off a quiet road, it’s private enough that your only neighbors will be deer, birds, and maybe the occasional curious raccoon. And yet, you're only about 30 minutes away from Hocking Hills State Park highlights like Ash Cave and Old Man’s Cave—some of the most scenic hiking trails in the Midwest. It’s the best of both worlds: nature’s greatest hits, plus an electric fireplace and the kind of spa-quality shower gel that makes you wonder why you ever used 3-in-1 body wash.

Pets are welcome, too, so bring your pup and let them live their best off-leash fantasy in the woods behind the dome. Just be prepared for your dog to look at your apartment with deep disappointment afterward.

So if you’ve been meaning to visit Ohio (or even if you haven’t), here’s your sign. Spend the morning exploring Ash Cave, then head back to the incredible New Straitsville dome, fire up the grill, and settle in with a glass of wine as dusk falls. Whether you're with your partner, your best friend, or flying solo like a starry-eyed Thoreau, this geo dome is your front-row seat to the Milky Way. And if you want some proof for your socials? Grab a smartphone-compatible telescope and snap your own cosmic masterpiece.

Ohio’s calling. And this dome? It’s your constellation-sprinkled, hot-tub-soaked answer.
