Pond's Resort

This is my first time “glamping” in a geodome and I LOVED the set up at Ponds! I did not stay in a cabin, so this review is only for a dome. But, as my daughter said, why stay in a cabin if you can stay in a dome?! First, super easy check in as info is texted to you prior to arrival. We stayed as a 3 person family (3 people maximum in dome I think is best). Everything very clean and modern. Cooling system (in July) worked very well - of course cannot open a window. We came mid-week and the property was quiet, which I loved. Enjoyed the chairs outside our dome, overlooking the river. We brought our own food to bbq, so I did not check out the restaurant or lodge area. Provided: Kitchenette with mini fridge, sink, microwave, kuerig coffeemaker (with coffee pods and actual cream!), utensils for 4 & basic serving utensils , dishes for 4, soap / basic cleaning supplies, glasses / wine glasses / mugs. Also inside: full washroom with tub and shower (curtain), 2 huge comfy lounge chairs, queen bed (could have been a little less creaky frame, but fine), bar height table and barstools, gas or propane fireplace (did not use) and twin mattress in upstairs loft. outside : clean, new bbq with bbq utensils, hot tub (very clean, 104 temp water), 4 deck chairs around a personal propane operated fire pit. Also made use of one of the nearby personal barrel saunas - which you have to turn on, but quickly heats up and can drizzle water on the rocks. My only suggestion would be if possible to add an outdoor table area near each unit. And since it was hot weather, a cold plunge would have been nice too! :) However, can go over to the McNamee footbridge (less than 10 mins drive) to wade into the river and if you find the right spot, find the swimming hole there. I would happily stay at Ponds again! I would say this is a great spot for a larger group gathering.

Fantastic stay, friendly ,food was amazing. Very peaceful and Fantastic hot tub ..

Perfect as always. Nice visit at the museum! So peaceful. Perfect for energy restoration.
