Zodiac | Black Lake Dome Retreat
Hammond, NY, United States
About
Bring 7 of your closest friends and take over the entire Zodiac! Your stay includes all four glamping domes, each with a cozy queen bed, private deck, hammock, Adirondack chairs, and smokeless fire pit. Spend your days together on Black Lake, gather around the fire at night, then retreat to your own private dome and fall asleep beneath the stars. The perfect group getaway...camping, upgraded.
Good to know
Each dome is designed for two guests looking for an easy way to experience camping without having to pitch a tent or sleep on the ground. Inside the dome is a queen bed with bedding, two nightstands and lamps, a luggage rack, shoe rack, and interior lighting. A large clear section of the dome and overhead skylight help bring the outdoors into the space while still giving you a comfortable place to sleep. A greenhouse-style ventilation system exchanges indoor and outdoor air to help manage temperatures and keep air circulating. Please note that this is not traditional heating or air conditioning, and temperatures inside the dome will still be influenced by outdoor weather. Outside, each dome has its own deck with two Adirondack chairs, a two-person hammock, and a smokeless fire pit — perfect for morning coffee, an afternoon nap, or relaxing around the fire at night. Approximately 350 feet away is the shared glamping kitchen. It includes a stove and oven, pots and pans, plates, cutlery, glasses, counter seating for two, and a small table with two chairs. Next to the kitchen is our pavilion and shared bathhouse, with separate men's and women's restrooms and three individual shower rooms. The pavilion also offers additional covered seating.
