Sleep Under the Stars In This Geo Dome In West Virginia

I’m the first person to tell you why winter travel is better than summer travel, but the one thing I do love about spring and summer travel is getting into the Milky Way season. For North America, the Milky Way season runs from roughly March until October, which makes for some truly epic stargazing. This geo dome in West Virginia is perfect for stargazing, and since April is Global Astronomy Month, why not book a few nights here to do a little stargazing?

This geo dome in West Virginia is perfect for glampers. Glamping is a relatively new term, and it’s a fantastic hybrid option for folks who want to spend time outdoors but aren’t keen on pitching a tent and really roughing it. 

The rental offers 700 square feet of living space, which includes a kitchenette, a living area, a bathroom, and a bedroom with a king-sized bed. You’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including hot water, Wifi, plenty of outlets, etc. 

The property overlooks the Greenbrier River, and there’s a lovely outdoor deck with chairs to soak in those dreamy views. This is a 100% wheelchair-accessible rental in West Virginia, and there is a ramp from the parking area to the door. 

The living room section of this dome is where you’d find me 99% of the time. As an added bonus, the sofa extends to a bed if you’d rather sleep under the stars. Wildlife is abundant here, and sightings of deer, otters, foxes, coyotes, and bald eagles are common among previous guests. 

Alderson is a tiny little town of fewer than 1,000 residents. It’s only a 15-minute drive to nearby Lewisburg, which is where you’ll find the famous Lost World Caverns. This series of underground caverns was discovered in 1942 and is a magical spot for adventurers of all ages to enjoy. 

Once you’ve explored the nearby sights, come back to the geodome and get ready to do a little stargazing. Mother Nature is notoriously tricky to work with, so I’d highly recommend renting this spot out for two or three nights, at minimum. Clouds can (and will) throw a wrench in your stargazing plans, so having a few nights to fall back on can really make a difference.
