Experience a taste of Japandi in this dome home on our small homestead, and enjoy the mind and body benefits of being closer to nature with the comforts of indoor amenities. This unique space is built with a full skylight to allow you to sleep under the night sky. Complete with heating and A/C for year-round comfort, a full zen-inspired bathroom, and luxury European bedding. Enjoy your meal around a Japanese inspired floor table with straw mats and meditation cushion for seating.

The space
Perfect for any occasion - birthdays, anniversaries, solo retreats, and more! Each detail has been thoughtfully curated to bring you a peaceful getaway; we hope you will enjoy every moment of your time spent here.

This 415 sq/ft space includes: Mini-split A/C system, Kitchenette with basic preparation accessories (cutting board, knives, utensils), complementary Nespresso coffee and tea bar, glassware and a set of handmade pottery bowls, plates, and mugs, 3.1 c/f fridge and freezer, microwave, shower, shower essentials and spa extras, towels and bedding.

Purified Air System - Coway Airmega unit that all circulated air passes through - removing airborne viruses, bacteria, and mold, and VOC's.

Outdoor lounging area with natural stone firepit and adirondack chairs. Plan to bring wood if you desire to use the fire pit; you are also welcome to collect any available wood on our property.

Privacy Note: The dome sits just behind our home on our 1.5-acre property. You may see our house and a neighbor’s from inside, but the dome faces a meadow and includes full-length adjustable curtains and a large skylight. It’s not secluded wilderness, but most guests say it feels incredibly peaceful and private.

Say hi to our friendly roaming chickens!

Guest access
We send a code to each guest on the day of arrival, and will send additional check-in details about the Japandi Dome. Guests may check in anytime after 4pm. We will have a private driveway dedicated to your parking.

Other things to note
Our space is geared primarily as a couples stay and a tranquil retreat for individuals. We love kiddos and pets, but our property features were not designed to accommodate them, so we cannot allow either children or pets for overnight stays at this time. Thank you for understanding this.

Guests should have no problem getting cell phone coverage with providers within the dome due to full wifi coverage, but signal may be spotty outside of this space (AT&T seems to have the best coverage overall in this area regardless of wifi connection).

The Surrounding Area
We are nestled in a beautiful rural neighborhood close to Hillsborough, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Located 15 minutes from Downtown Hillsborough and the lively 9th St of Durham, and 17 minutes to downtown Durham, there is not a shortage of options in the area. If looking for beautiful trails, go no further than the Eno River 7 minutes away.

Inspiration behind the Design
Japandi, known for its natural fusion of Japanese and Scandinavian design, includes the use of organic materials, natural light, and a beautiful but functional interior to create a calming and cozy space. The Japanese element is influenced by “wabi-sabi”, a concept of embracing imperfection and impermanence. The Scandinavian element incorporates “hygge” (pronounced hyoo guh), which brings in the element of coziness, well-being, and contentment with loved ones.

We hope for our dome to be a rejuvenating space for couples and individuals, to awaken the spirit, and to help one reconnect with the natural world and one another.

Born in the 90s
My work: apparel design
I love the simple things, being outdoors with my 10/10 hubby, our mischievous toddler, and our hound/lab mix, crafting, baking, and trying my hand at sourdough making. I love to travel and meet people from different places, though most days you'll find me at home with our 6 chickens, garden, and the geodesic dome we built. One day I may really achieve the cottagecore homestead life I love learning about!
