The Location
Located in a sunny clearing deep in the heart of the redwood forest, this magical property consists of:
- A huge 44′ dome with a dance floor and ample snuggle areas
- A cozy home cabin with 3 bedrooms, a large lounge-y living room
- Flushing toilets
- On-demand hot water for showers in private stalls under the redwoods
- A fire pit circle for singing and connecting
- A newly built sauna!
- Plus acres and acres of redwooded hiking trails, bordering Nisene Marks

Sleeping Accommodations
There are plenty of flat areas for pitching a tent with friends beneath the redwoods or in a sunny patch.
In the cabin, there are three bedrooms
🌌 Starlight Room
Queen bed, vaulted ceilings, skylight above, and sliding doors to a luxurious deck. Ensuite bathroom with a spacious shower. A luxe main-floor escape for two. Bedding provided.
🧘 Buddha Room
Cozy queen bed with private sliding-door entrance. Shared bathroom just steps away. Peaceful and inviting — perfect for two. Bedding provided.
💋 Double Entendre Room
Two queen beds in your own private basement hideaway. Bathroom upstairs. Ideal for a playful group of four. Bedding provided.

Other Amenities
There are two private shower stalls with gorgeous redwood views. On-demand hot water—soap and shampoo provided. There is also a shower in the common area bathroom in the cabin.
There are two flushing toilets by the dome/fire pit area, and one toilet in the common area bathroom in the house.
There’s a circular sauna for evening steams.
There is an outdoor commercial kitchen by the dome and an indoor kitchen in the cabin. However, since our event is fully catered with Chad Greer’s gourmet meals, both kitchens are off limits during the campout.

Getting Here
The Dome is about 20 minutes from downtown Soquel, and is on a dirt road.
There are four creek crossings plus some bumps on the dirt road.
A four-wheel drive or high clearance vehicle is recommended for a stress-free entry! I’ve done it with no problems in my little hybrid hatchback before, so 4WD is not required. However, I think it’s more comfortable to go in a larger car.

The Cabin
This cozy yet luxurious home space is the perfect place for quiet connection, late-night tea and snuggles, and down-regulation. Its glorious sunny wrap-around deck is the place to bask in the sun with some coffee or a snack. It also houses three bedrooms: the Starlight Room, the Buddha Room, and the Double Entendre.

Camping
Set up your tent in a charming, car-free meadow just a short walk (yards) from the parking area. Plenty of flat, shaded spots to choose from, so you can create your own cozy forest nest. Keeping cars out of the tent zone helps the whole space feel sweet, serene, and communal. There are a few car camping spots in a separate wooded location.
Showers and Toilets
The bathhouse features two flushing toilets and sinks for easy, everyday comfort, plus two private outdoor showers with on-demand hot water and stunning redwood views — showering has never felt so magical. There’s also one shared bathroom inside the main cabin for added convenience. Shower products provided!
