In January, Jesse shocked me with an anniversary journey in January. He informed me we had been going someplace very distinctive. I had no thought what that meant or what to anticipate, however I used to be excited to see what he had booked.
Properly, Kierstyn and Micah ended up getting strep so we needed to re-book. Jesse determined that he wouldn’t maintain the place we had been staying a secret since he might barely wait to inform me… and I’m so comfortable he did as a result of it meant that I bought to spend the following two months trying ahead to the place we had been going to remain.
And it was an EPIC selection!
We stayed in a Dome Tent on Heart Hill Lake close to Springville, TN. You’ll be able to see a bunch {of professional} pics of the place we stayed on their web site. You too can see extra footage inside right here.
We had the BEST time and I’d extremely advocate staying right here! There’s nothing fairly like sleeping underneath the celebs whereas additionally having a wonderful rest room and air con!
Once we bought in, it was fairly scorching and the dome was scorching (it’s type of like a greenhouse — particularly with the solar beating down on it!). Actually, the thermostat learn 99 levels!
We texted the homeowners and requested if it was regular. They requested if they may come examine. They introduced a fan, helped activate a second AC unit, and likewise turned on a sprinkler that watered down the surface of the dome for an hour. Inside about half-hour, it was a lot cooler!
By night, it was a bit of chilly and we needed to placed on cozy garments and be underneath blankets — which was excellent!
One of many issues I beloved was that there was no TV and also you simply needed to hang around on the fireplace pit or within the scorching tub. It was excellent for encouraging numerous time in nature and many time collectively.
That they had some video games and puzzles and books and we had enjoyable taking part in a rousing recreation of Scrabble – one thing I don’t know that we’ve ever performed collectively.
The views had been beautiful! Attending to see the solar rise and the views of the lake and the celebs at night time… it was so cool. Jesse and I saved being like, “We’re positively followers of this glamping factor!”
We introduced all our personal meals and had been glad we did for the reason that domes had been pretty removed from the city and we didn’t need to waste any time we had there driving into city!
The kitchen had all the things we wanted to prepare dinner and prep what what we had introduced. I’d advocate bringing your personal water bottles. We didn’t attempt the water from the tap and so they didn’t have a water air purifier that I noticed.
Nothing like waking as much as this view!!
There’s a strolling path on the property that leads all the way down to Heart Hill Lake. We beloved this brief hike. It was completely lovely!
I’m so grateful for the reward of this man and 23 years of marriage to him — even when we wanted to have fun our anniversary a couple of months late!
After we left the dome (we stayed till the final minute as a result of we needed to soak all of it up!), we drove to Springville, TN to test it out.
We had researched on-line for an area espresso store and the web beneficial Buttonwillow Normal Retailer and Espresso store. It was the proper small city espresso store and we beloved visiting (although I used to be hungry for protein and all that they had had been carbs, sweets, and low!)
What a particular 22-hour getaway! And now Jesse and I are on the hunt for different glamping experiences! If you understand of any in Tennessee or inside a 3-hour drive of Nashville, please let me know!
