Our domes feature a King bed and two Twin bed in a mezzanine, accessible by a ladder. The mezzanine is not suitable for all ages, and the use is entirely at your own risk. Beds are only made up in the mezzanine when noted in the reservation, such as the adding the extra guests.

Please be advised that the mezzanine is not recommended for all ages and may not be suitable for young children, particularly those under 6 years old, for safety reasons. For children under 6, we assume they’ll share the main bed with their parents.

We kindly ask parents to help ensure children refrain from touching the dome’s window front with objects, as the specialized material can be damaged. Thank you for helping us keep the space in excellent condition for everyone’s enjoyment.

Our domes are 550 square feet, with an open-concept layout featuring a King bed on the main level and two Twin beds in a mezzanine loft accessible by ladder. While it can accommodate 4 adults, there’s limited privacy, so we recommend booking two domes if members of your group prefer more space. If everyone is comfortable with a shared space, the our dome should be a great fit!

Wallace River Ranch is designed as a peaceful retreat, offering a serene escape for those looking to relax and reconnect with nature. As such, we are not a suitable venue for loud bachelorette parties, large social gatherings, or highly energetic group events. Our space is best suited for guests seeking tranquility, cozy getaways, and meaningful time spent in a calm and natural setting.

Our standard check-in time is 4:00 PM, with check-out at 11:30 AM.

Due to our small team and the time needed to properly clean and prepare each space, we’re unfortunately unable to guarantee early check-in in advance. If your dome happens to be ready earlier on the day of arrival, we’ll be happy to let you know!

Thank you so much for your understanding and flexibility — it truly means a lot to us.
