About this house rental
Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape.
The Dome Home sits on 42 acres of its own land and is neighbored by conservation land and woods. You can enjoy the seclusion of the space, while also enjoying modern amenities to keep you comfortable and entertained.
The Dome is an open, loft-like structure with no doors. In the main structure, there are three bedrooms (two queen & two twin beds). The beds are well hidden behind walls, so there is visual privacy for sleeping and changing, but when everyone is in their bed, you could easily have conversations with each other. One bedroom on the second floor has a curtain door that allows you total visual privacy. Be sure you're friendly with people you are booking with!
The bathroom does have a proper door, a large two person shower, and a sunroom that gets nice and toasty when the sun is out, winter or summer.
**HALF BATH currently being installed, should be complete by April/May 2023. The Chalet will also have the outhouse up and running by then!**
There is a barn within a stones throw of the Dome that has recently been renovated. It has electricity and heat, but no running water.
The basement will be locked and off limits to guests as this is where the batteries are that power the Dome and could be dangerous to those not properly trained.
There is also a wood burning stove in the main dome structure that is off limits to guests due to safety precautions.
I live in Boston, so you will check in and out yourself and I will be available remotely for you. I can be there within two hours for any emergencies or have many local friends and contractors who could assist with any immediate needs.
The propane tank will always be full upon arrival, however, the solar energy cannot be controlled. In the summer when the sun is strong, you shouldn't have any issues with power. If you are staying in the winter you may need to be more conscientious of your power consumption especially if there are multiple cloudy/snowy days. If the Dome loses power, there is a generator that you can turn on that runs off of the propane tank.
There are 120V outlets throughout the Dome that will power your personal devices, but we ask that you only use the appliances we supply for you and do not use or bring high-use appliances like electric tea kettles, crock pots, hair dryers, straighteners, irons, etc.
The Dome Home is located in Kennebunkport, Maine. Kennebunkport is an amazing community with countless local shops, restaurants, breweries, distilleries, concert halls and local businesses featuring artists, farmers, and craftspeople.
From the Dome, you are about 10 minutes from the Goose Rocks Beach and 15-20 minutes from downtown Kennebunkport, Kennebunk, Biddeford, Saco, and Cape Porpoise. About 30 minutes north is Portland and 30 minutes south is Kittery. The Dome is right in the middle of it all!
Driving to the Dome from the North or South, use I-95 and you can get off at the Biddeford exit 32 or right before the Kennebunk service plaza at exit 25. It is about 1:45 minutes from Boston.
You will need a car to get to the Dome and to go on fun adventures. There is a private dirt road for the property. In the winter if there is snow on the ground, having a vehicle with AWD is recommended. If you have a low-riding car, please be cautious when driving down the dirt path and try to avoid any holes that may scratch the bottom of your vehicle.
The Dome has ample parking, we just ask that you try to stay on the dirt road. DO NOT park on the lawn area in front of the Dome, as this is where the septic tank is and your car will fall in!

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at the dome house. We loved the uniqueness of the dome and the solitude, without roughing it. We stayed over the Christmas holiday and we were very comfortable. Wi-Fi was good, the heat worked quite well, and the hot water was quick to heat up. The shower in the downstairs bathroom was amazing. The piano was an added plus too! We would definitely stay here again.

This is a special place and it was perfect for our dogs. The woods are lovely and the house is unique. It felt far away from the rest of the world, but was actually close to the beach, great hiking trails, and the wedding events we attended.

We had a wonderful experience. We had all the necessities we needed. We got to be a little resourceful when it came to toasting and reheating our food, but it just added to the experience. Would recommend to anyone who wants the experience of being in the woods with the convenience of being in town. Owner was wonderful in making sure we had everything we needed and was easily reachable. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

What a wonderful spot! So unique and cozy.
Comfortable bed. Minimalist, relaxing decor in bedrooms. Beautiful views of trees, sky, and the field. Quiet and peaceful.
Great kitchen.
Enjoyed watching a show projected onto the wall.
The double shower is spacious and feels like being at a spa.
Several large house plants.
The fire pit is awesome.
Within a few minutes’ drive to beaches, nature reserves, plus great bakeries, breweries, and restaurants.
Highly recommend the dome when you’re ready for a break from the city.

This unique home was a fantastic place to have a getaway from Boston’s hustle and bustle! It was peaceful and the slow mornings were perfect! The house was lit by the sun for the entirety of the day. The home was cozy with all the decorations. The owner was very responsive and made the stay wonderful! The town and beaches were all a short trip away!

An inspiring location with an even more inspiring home
If I had the talent, this is where I’d choose to brainstorm my piano album. It’s a serene and magnificent property that will make you focus on what truly matters. We arrived at the property after a sailboat cruise in Saco, then enjoyed the next morning just a quick drive away in Kennebunkport. The lack of light pollution made for beautiful star gazing on the deck at night. And hanging out in the wide open living room at night brought out the best in our vocals. The acoustics in this place are really amazing! Overall, the experience was truly special. Thank you!
