Geo Dome Upstate Catskills, Woodridge
The Geo Dome is part of The Outlier Inn: a 12-acre property 90 miles from New York City in the southern Catskills. It serves as a retreat center, a farm with lots of animals and vegetables, and features a world-class recording studio.
Guests are encouraged to explore the 12-acre property, relax by the pond, cuddle the alpacas, sheep, goats, and go for a hike on the 6-mile rails-to-trails path across the street. It is dog-friendly and even has a pond where your four-legged family members can swim.
Guests have access to outdoor double hot showers, a sink, and a claw foot bathtub, as well as an outdoor kitchen and grill, refrigerator and large fire pit.
Bring your own bed, air mattress or camping pads, sleeping bags, pillows and towels. There is even a wooden floor in the dome and screen windows for airflow and to keep out bugs.
Climbing Vine Cottage, Newfield
You can have the entire yurt to yourself at this beautiful glamping site that is right in the middle of an organic vegetable and perennial flower garden and forest. The yurt features a fully equipped, eat-in kitchen with seating for six.
The bathroom is stocked with towels, local soap, shampoo, etc. Sleeping accommodations include a lovely master bedroom (full size bed) with flat screen TV for DVDs, fold-out futon bed in the living room (full size) and two twin beds in the loft. The stone patio offers outdoor dining, a gas grill and fire pit.
