In January, Jesse shocked me with an anniversary journey in January. He informed me we had been going someplace very distinctive. I had no concept what that meant or what to anticipate, however I used to be excited to see what he had booked.
Nicely, Kierstyn and Micah ended up getting strep so we needed to re-book. Jesse determined that he wouldn’t preserve the place we had been staying a secret since he might barely wait to inform me… and I’m so pleased 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 can too 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 celebrities whereas additionally having a ravishing toilet and air-con!
After we bought in, it was fairly sizzling and the dome was sizzling (it’s type of like a greenhouse — particularly with the solar beating down on it!). Actually, 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 skin 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 wished 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 wished 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 taking part in a rousing recreation of Scrabble – one thing I don’t know that we’ve ever performed collectively.
The views had been gorgeous! Attending to see the solar rise and the views of the lake and the celebrities 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 wish to waste any time we had there driving into city!
The kitchen had every thing we would have liked to cook dinner and prep what what we had introduced. I’d advocate bringing your individual 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 quick 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 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 wished 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 advisable 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 had been carbs, sweets, and occasional!)
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!
