The eponymous Geodesic Dome is of course the star and the most unique feature of the property, but it also features a stylish main house that’s straight out of a contemporary design magazine. The moment you walk in, you’ll feel at home thanks to the subtle sophistication of minimalist modern flair. Tasteful pops of earth tone hues, luxury finishes and materials, geometric patterns and natural fibers add texture and personality throughout. Panoramic windows and dual skylights provide plenty of natural light into the open concept floor plan which includes plenty of places to gather inside or out without ever feeling separated.

OUTDOORS:
The private outdoor oasis consists of a Pergola with misters for hot afternoons and Edison lights for cool desert nights. Take in some rays on the chaise lounge chairs & hammock, enjoy a sunset dinner and gather around the sunken fire pit to share stories and laughs. Then take it to the polyhedron dome to recenter and recharge! It's perfect at any time of day or night for a quiet conversation or meditation thanks to the included climate control. Comfy poufs and pillows allow you to easily configure the lounge space how you want for an energizing yoga session or a peaceful meditation.

Don't forget to fire up the hot tub with two motors, massaging lounge chair, foot massage jets, and waterfall to relax your tired muscles after a vigorous hike up Ryan Mountain or through Lost Palms Oasis in the National Park (5 minutes away!). Then curl up in the dreamcatcher chair.

SLEEPING:
The bedrooms feature luxurious linens, memory foam mattresses, dramatic accent walls and art inspired by the surrounding area. All bedrooms are located on the West wing of the home down the hallway with the enclosed glass Cactus Museum, allowing for the early sleepers to rest while the rest of the group convenes in the common areas.

Primary Bedroom — California King size bed with Apple TV and en-suite bathroom.

Middle Bedroom — Queen size bed.

Back Bedroom — Queen size bed with Apple TV.

Music Room — Pull-out sofa (Full size).

ENTERTAINMENT:
Sing along to the Best Songs Ever with the keyboard and guitar in the Music Room or take a closer look at the beauty of Cassiopeia through the telescope. Call stripes at the Billiard Table in the Arcade Room and have a showdown to 8 ball corner pocket or kick it old school on the vintage arcade with multiple game options including Ms. Pacman, Frogger, and more! Nothing’s too Taboo (the game, that is) in Joshua Tree. Turn the LED disco ball on while streaming your favorite music video from the Apple TV above the electric wall-mounted fireplace for a groovy ambience. With a bar table and lounge seating, there's room for everyone in the gang!

FEATURES:
This is a Smart Home equipped with e-locks for self check-in, 4 HDTV's with Apple TV, and hi-speed wifi (150 mbps).

PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OUR NEIGHBORS! We are in a residential neighborhood with locals who reside on both sides of our home. Please follow our Good Neighbor Policy of no outside noise after 10pm and before 8am. Guests must refrain from any outdoor music, noise or other disruptions that may cause a disturbance to the community during quiet hours. Failure to respect quiet hours after an initial warning may result in cancellation of your reservation without refund and/or a fine from the county.

FAMILY & PETS:
We are family and dog friendly! Children 2 years old and above must be included as part of the total guest count. We have a fully fenced backyard for your pets to run freely.

DOME:
The dome is not meant for sleeping in. Please note that the cover is brand new but due to its clear material, it can show dirt easily if there were strong winds. We wash the outside often, but please note that this unique space is delicate.

Nexxus pest control will be coming to the property to spray the exterior of the home on the first Friday of every month between 11am-4pm. They will not need to enter the home for any reasons.

Health & safety is our number one priority. Our in-house cleaning team is trained on CDC and WHO protocols. We take extra measures to ensure the home is sanitized and safe before every arrival. For this reason we aren’t able to offer early check-ins or late check-outs. Thank you for understanding!

The place is gorgeous and clean! The house is spacious and has a beautiful back yard. The rooms are spacious and the linen is very nice and clean. The geodome is very nice but the walls are a little worn (that desert sun is very rough) the wall also has some holes, but the A/C kept it nice and cool during the evenings and early morning. During the mid-day the A/C works very hard to keep the geodome cool in the middle of summer. The biggest downside is that the game room has no working A/C which made it unusable during out stay in the summer and having a couple of kids not being able to enjoy the arcade there was a little disapointing. We ended up keepting that area close so that the rest of the house wouldn't warm up. The hot tub is spacious and very nice as well as the grill as the evening was cool enough to enjoy both of them. Would definitely come back, just not in the middle of summer so we can enjoy that game room.

We all loved your home. We loved the beds and a few wanted know the brand and style if you have it. Also where you bought the living room couch? Very comfy. Things to consider-more kitchen towels, large bowl for salads, plastic ware for outside. Lastly, the greenery in the home adds a nice touch but desperately needs to be dusted. Two guests who shared the room with the ficus tree were coughing and sneezing all night till we removed the tree. Overall , I'd recommend this lovely home .

House was great and located close to the park entrance. Fire pit, hot tub, game room all got a lot of use from our family. Only critique would be how long it takes for hot water to run in the showers. Also, the on suite shower door does not have a proper seal so water leaks out onto the floor.

Loved the location. Felt the dome was mis represented as you cannot see any stars from within, was cold & not really a place any of us wanted to hang out. The kitchen was stocked well. Hot tub over chlorinated but nice jets. I really missed lotion in the bathrooms. Loved the fire pit & pool table - bonus disco ball!!

From making the reservation to the easy check-out, my Dome on the Range experience was wonderful. The host was always available for questions, responded quickly and was very accommodating. The property met and exceeded all our expectations, the game room was a hit and we loved the hot tub, fire pit and dome. Lots of cozy blankets and pillows too!

We loved the property and amenities. Kids stayed busy with the pool table and arcade games. Property was clean, Just note you cannot see through the dome at night to see stars if you expected that, otherwise a cute space.

Immediately felt comfortable in this wonderful abode. We’ll placed for adventures in Joshua Tree and also exploring the Pioneertown and the Integretron. Had everything we needed and really enjoyed the perks of a dome, music room, hot tub and disco pool room.
