In January, Jesse stunned me with an anniversary journey in January. He informed me we have been going someplace very distinctive. I had no thought what that meant or what to anticipate, however I used to be excited to see what he had booked.
Properly, Kierstyn and Micah ended up getting strep so we needed to re-book. Jesse determined that he wouldn’t maintain the place we have been staying a secret since he may barely wait to inform me… and I’m so comfortable he did as a result of it meant that I bought to spend the subsequent two months trying ahead to the place we have been going to remain.
And it was an EPIC selection!
We stayed in a Dome Tent on Heart Hill Lake close to Springville, TN. You possibly can see a bunch {of professional} pics of the place we stayed on their web site. You may as well see extra photos inside right here.
We had the BEST time and I’d extremely advocate staying right here! There’s nothing fairly like sleeping beneath the celebrities whereas additionally having a stupendous rest room and air-con!
Once we bought in, it was fairly sizzling and the dome was sizzling (it’s type of like a greenhouse — particularly with the solar beating down on it!). In truth, the thermostat learn 99 levels!
We texted the homeowners and requested if it was regular. They requested if they might come examine. They introduced a fan, helped activate a second AC unit, and in addition turned on a sprinkler that watered down the surface of the dome for an hour. Inside about half-hour, it was a lot cooler!
By night, it was slightly chilly and we needed to placed on cozy garments and be beneath blankets — which was good!
One of many issues I liked was that there was no TV and also you simply needed to hang around on the hearth pit or within the sizzling tub. It was good for encouraging numerous time in nature and plenty of time collectively.
That they had some video games and puzzles and books and we had enjoyable enjoying a rousing sport of Scrabble – one thing I don’t know that we’ve ever performed collectively.
The views have been beautiful! Attending to see the solar rise and the views of the lake and the celebrities at night time… it was so cool. Jesse and I stored being like, “We’re positively followers of this glamping factor!”
We introduced all our personal meals and have been glad we did because the domes have been pretty removed from the city and we didn’t wish to waste any time we had there driving into city!
The kitchen had the whole lot we wanted to cook dinner and prep what what we had introduced. I’d advocate bringing your personal water bottles. We didn’t attempt the water from the tap and so they didn’t have a water air purifier that I noticed.
Nothing like waking as much as this view!!
There’s a strolling path on the property that leads right down to Heart Hill Lake. We liked this quick hike. It was completely lovely!
I’m so grateful for the present of this man and 23 years of marriage to him — even when we wanted to have fun our anniversary just a few months late!
After we left the dome (we stayed till the final minute as a result of we needed to soak all of it up!), we drove to Springville, TN to test it out.
We had researched on-line for an area espresso store and the web advisable Buttonwillow Common Retailer and Espresso store. It was the proper small city espresso store and we liked visiting (although I used to be hungry for protein and all they’d have been carbs, sweets, and occasional!)
What a particular 22-hour getaway! And now Jesse and I are on the hunt for different glamping experiences! If you recognize of any in Tennessee or inside a 3-hour drive of Nashville, please let me know!
