We Built A GLAMPING DOME-- How we set up a Geodesic Dome Airbnb!

Curious what the hype is about glamping domes?
This video walks you through exactly what we did to get our glamping dome set up and WHY we chose a geodesic dome. It's more of an overview-- but I'll be sharing more details on each phase in the upcoming videos. (Leave a comment with your question and I'll try to answer it). ☺️

Love your videos! We are retiring to Florida with plans to create a glamping experience for our guests. Our plan is to buy property and set up six domes as a start. We’ve broken our campground build into four stages over four years. As we grow, we plan on becoming the premier, upscale site in Florida. Wish us luck!

That’s so exciting! Definitely cheering you guys on!

Love our dome. Just spun one up myself in middle Tennessee. Good luck on yours! Looks great 👍

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Very cool!! That’s awesome!

What dome did you go with?

[@AdventurousMagic]

If you end up reaching out to East Domes, ask for Henry or Alejandro and you can tell them I sent you 😊 Maybe you'll get a discount

This is a good overview of the whole process. I have a nice lake view lot on the border of MO and Arkansas on Bull Shoals Lake that i had originally wanted to do an AirBnb type of set up w a dome or similar but in the end decided the cons outweighed the pros, at least for the time being - the biggest being that I like to spend more time there myself than I thought I would ! especially in the peak season. the second was the difficulty in finding (and keeping) a caretaker as I'm about 1.5 hrs away and there simply are not too many people around that want to do that kind of job. Fortunately permitting in the area are some of the most lenient I've ever seen so that was not an issue. Each of the 5 steps you mention are really excellent but i would suggest that the order in which to think/plan about them need to be flexible because a "no" on one of them can cancel out the others even if they are a "yes". Look forward to your other vids on this as they are very helpful.

I totally understand loving the place so much you want to spend more time there personally! I also understand your caretaker situation-- our property is located 2 hours way from where I live and the city has a population of 1,000. It's not easy! 😆 Excited to see what you end up doing!

Nice vid! Exact same methods I used. Hopefully I can get out there soon. Good luck and I subbed !

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

That’s awesome!! Cheering you guys on too. It’s worth it! And so much fun for guests.

excellent information. I can imagine the winter being in an uninsulated home 🥶 how are you dealing with the cold temperatures? are you constantly keep the fire going? I’m interested learning more about this dome.

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

Winter is very cold! We have an oversized wood stove that keeps things cozy, but needs to be stoked regularly.

[@KimorraLucas]

This was helpful. My biggest challenge is sourcing the dome! Can I get some help with that like who got your dome or similar company

[@TheWhitneyHansen]

We used Pacific Domes and love ours! I would strongly caution against going with the cheapest dome possible.
