Slate Crossing: Creekside Dome

Explore all the Smokies has to offer in this one-of-a-kind escape surrounded by the natural beauty of slate, wood, water & stars. Welcome to Slate Crossing - a 1.5 story vintage-inspired geodesic dome nestled in Wanderlust Woods.

Only 5 mi from the best rafting & zip lining in the area & 25 min to Gatlinburg, the secluded 10 acre property hosts a flowing creek, mountain views, & plenty of space to wander––perfect for all seeking the glory of the mountains without the typical log cabin decor.

The main level of the dome consists of two cozy bedrooms, a living room with a sofa, comfy chair and coffee table, TV and an entire wall of windows that look out onto perennial flowing creek. Additionally, you'll find a table that seats 6, fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom with vanity, toilet, and hot shower. Upstairs in a loft space there is room for two more full-sized beds for a recommended capacity of up to 6 guests.

The story continues outside with a creekside covered slate-lined deck that you’ll never want to leave, rain or shine. There you’ll find hammock chairs, bar with 4 stools, gas grill, and a cast iron fire stove (firewood provided) to keep you toasty in the cold. It’s elevated camping with the comforts of home.

Cute yurt

We had a great time. This place is right on the creek, the directions were easy to follow to find the place with signs when you get closer. It was clean, I will say the “windows” aren’t clear and you can’t see out of them as we were hoping. Besides that we would be back and loved the place and the area! Beautiful property!

nice stay

this is great glamping dome. it is very roomy on the inisde. overall we really enjoy our stay. just a recommendation . that is they need to have a better heater system for the winter. need more sealants on the property to repel insects from entering. i would definitely book my stay here again and would try the summer time.

Cool property, great hosts

A clean little property that has a very unique and interesting setup that would be great in the summer time with the near-by creek. Hosts were extremely responsive, understandings, and friendly. Not as toddler friendly as we would’ve liked, but that’s probably more our fault being inexperienced at traveling with little ones lol (first trip and under 2 years old.) Overall, a great choice for anyone who wants something different from the usual stay and loves the outdoors!

Amazingly Unique!

What more can I say… One of the best family vacations we’ve ever had because of the uniqueness of this property, and the ability to “glamp” and get away from the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas. Location was awesome, and the dome had all the modern amenities needed as well, while still being in the middle of nature, and not a concrete jungle. Not only were we in close proximity to all the great hiking trails in the great smoky mountains, but right at the site, basically right under our dome, was the ability to get away from it all and sit in the foothills of the smoky mountains by a fresh mountain stream! I highly, highly recommend this accommodation, and the attentive and conscientious hosts only added to the wonderful experience. All of it was incredible!
