Dramatic Geodesic Dome with amazing views, AC, spa and walk to town

Unlike many houses in Idyllwild that are nestled completely in the pine trees, the Dome is perched on the edge of Crestview Drive and offers vistas to the ocean on the clearest days, and it is NEWLY REMODELED, and now with AC/Heat! The Dome covers over 1.5 acres of land. Watch the sunset every evening from the steamy hot tub, or adjacent deck, eat outside or in, or cuddle up in front of one or all of the three interior fireplaces arranged off of the central lava rock chimney. The living room has a soaring 26-foot ceiling that encompasses one third of the dome. The house is built adjacent to a 40-foot high rock formation that has Native American acorn grinding bowls carved into the rock at the highest point with the best views of the valley below. Imagine standing out on the deck and watching the deer climb up the hillside. Spend an evening gazing at the stars as they appear close enough to touch. Enjoy your moment on top of the world in the ever famous "Dramatic Geodesic Dome".
The Bungalow can be included for $150 per night plus $65 cleaning + tax ( 1 Queen, 2 single beds)

Beautiful outdoor location
Good: Beautiful view and cute outdoor spaces. Well stocked but missing some items including coffee. Property manager very responsive to fix problems with house. Bad: Property manager forces photographs of credit card and license and to sign an extra contract, none of which was REQUIRED when booking and they use an unvalidated system to store these so they need to add it to the property description. Tiny grill. A lot of items are broken like toilet seat cover, ripped leather couch and stairs, fridge did not work on arrival and spent hours with them to fix it. Acoustics carry all noise from downstairs to upstairs so difficult to sleep if people are awake.

Unique and comfortable house
We enjoyed this house - the unique design and gorgeous views were the highlights! The house is very comfortably set up; we were particularly impressed by the well-stocked kitchen. There are plenty of outdoor spaces to enjoy the scenery as well. The location of the hot tub is amazing! We couldn’t get the living room TV to work, unfortunately.

Beautiful home and location with some caveats
We enjoyed our time here. The Dome is iconic and thoughtfully planned with comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces to enjoy the majestic views of Idyllwild from the comfort of your residence. The kitchen was reasonably well stocked, nice selection of board games and movies, and the internet was fast and reliable. We enjoyed each of the several patios depending on the time of day and activity (food vs. relaxation). It’s hard to describe how well placed it is— you get beautiful views of Idyllwild all around the property. The sunrise and sunset across the valley are beautiful. 🌅 It is also quite central, near all the necessary amenities and trails. Really great location for exploring Idyllwild from. The property does get very warm however as the sun is hitting it from all sides. There is a portable A/C unit that we were able to pull out of the closet and it did a pretty good job keeping the main living space reasonably cool, but it never got above 85F when we were there. I'd imagine that in the dead of summer the little guy might not keep up. There was a nice breeze in the evening that helped bring down the temp, but did not reach the bedrooms upstairs. Also the beds were very uncomfortable, most of the beds sag to the middle making it especially difficult to sleep with a significant other. We had a pretty hard time sleeping well to be honest so that made it much harder to enjoy ourselves. A few other things to be aware of: 1. The walls are paper thin, and the dome shape enables noise to travel easily making it also hard to sleep. One if the bedrooms is actually a loft, which was the worst. 2. The windows are not private, even the bedroom and bathroom windows have no curtains. 3. For the upstairs bathroom, the lock works but the door can be pushed open anyway. 4. The upper patio table wobbles by 3-4” hard to have a meal on it. 5. Driveway is very very steep! More easily approached from the right, but a loaded car will still have trouble going up. Plenty of space to park at the top though.

This was a amazing getaway. The house is beautiful.
I have nothing but great things to say about this rental. I took my husband for his birthday weekend along with our great friends. The view was astonishing and just breathtaking. It is a big house with plenty of beds we Also rented the additional bungalow so plenty of room for about 14-16 people. It had everything you need. Well stocked with towels, toiletries. The jacuzzi was ready to go when I let them know I was going to use it. Monica the manager was very responsive which is a big plus. The location is great. It is close to the village with so many things to do. I could not have been happier. Great rental.

The Dome
We arrived in Idyllwild just as the roads got very slick from snow and ice, so be sure to have a great set of chains or 4 wheel drive during the winter months as The Dome is uphill! The views are remarkable, especially from the hot tub! The kitchen is fully stocked with anything you might need for cooking. This was a great house for 3 families that love playing board games and hanging out together! Be prepared for togetherness as sound in The Dome carries! The folks at New Spirit Vacation Homes were very helpful!

Great unique spot!
We had a really nice time here. It's very peaceful and the view is beautiful. Great kitchen, lovely hot tub area, and there was plenty of space for 8 people+1 dog. Like the other reviews mentioned, when it's warm definitely bring along a bunch of fans to cool down the space. There is one A/C unit but it's not enough to cool down the whole dome. We had issues with the unit for the first day but they came out and fixed it. Thank you, I look forward to returning again.
