In January, Jesse stunned me with an anniversary journey in January. He advised me we have 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 hold the place we have been staying a secret since he may barely wait to inform me… and I’m so pleased he did as a result of it meant that I obtained to spend the subsequent two months trying ahead to the place we have been going to remain.
And it was an EPIC alternative!
We stayed in a Dome Tent on Middle Hill Lake close to Springville, TN. You may 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 suggest staying right here! There’s nothing fairly like sleeping underneath the celebs whereas additionally having a fantastic toilet and air-con!
After we obtained in, it was fairly sizzling and the dome was sizzling (it’s kind of like a greenhouse — particularly with the solar beating down on it!). In truth, the thermostat learn 99 levels!
We texted the house owners and requested if it was regular. They requested if they may come examine. They introduced a fan, helped activate a second AC unit, and in addition 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 little bit chilly and we needed to placed on cozy garments and be underneath blankets — which was good!
One of many issues I beloved was that there was no TV and also you simply needed to hang around on the hearth pit or within the sizzling tub. It was good for encouraging plenty of time in nature and many time collectively.
They’d some video games and puzzles and books and we had enjoyable enjoying a rousing recreation of Scrabble – one thing I don’t know that we’ve ever performed collectively.
The views have been gorgeous! 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 undoubtedly followers of this glamping factor!”
We introduced all our personal meals and have been glad we did because the domes have been pretty removed from the city and we didn’t wish to waste any time we had there driving into city!
The kitchen had all the pieces we would have liked to prepare dinner and prep what what we had introduced. I’d suggest 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 Middle Hill Lake. We beloved this quick hike. It was completely lovely!
I’m so grateful for the present of this man and 23 years of marriage to him — even when we would have liked to have fun our anniversary just a few 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 right small city espresso store and we beloved visiting (although I used to be hungry for protein and all they’d have 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 already know of any in Tennessee or inside a 3-hour drive of Nashville, please let me know!
