Unique and fun experience
Well stocked with the basics, comfortable, good location for exploring Southern Illinois, enjoyed the hot tub, the deck and the fire pit.
My husband and I booked for our 8 year anniversary and absolutely loved every minute of it. The hot tub was so relaxing and it’s such a gorgeous area and beautiful place. Definitely recommend booking!

Amazing trip!
My wife and I stayed at Shawnee Hills Glamping for our wedding anniversary, and it was everything we hoped for and more. The tent was spotless, cozy, and stocked with every amenity we could possibly need, which made our stay effortless. The setting was absolutely beautiful tucked away in the woods, quiet and peaceful, with the sounds of nature all around us. Sitting by the firepit at night under the stars was the highlight of our trip. It was the perfect mix of comfort and adventure, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our anniversary. We will definitely be back!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Communication with the owner was great and all of the information we could have needed was given in a timely manner and easily available. The dome was clean, well stocked and so relaxing. We cannot wait to come back! It is far from anything, so we stopped for lunch on our way in and got food to go for dinner, which was a great decision.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Overall the dome was amazing, really quiet and would totally stay at it again. The one criticism I would have is the lack of a dual lock on the door. There are basically one way locks on the door, a better functioning lock would make the dome feel much safer. But we loved staying there and would stay again.
Awesome experience! The host was amazing with communication and the place was absolutely perfect :) clean, cute, comfortable and located near plenty of things to do! Especially nature and hiking lovers.

This was a beautiful experience!
The property was well kept and decorated beautifully. I purchased the romantic package for my wife's birthday and she loved it. The kitchen had just about every piece of electric cookware available to the point we didn't even need or miss a full stove. We definitely plan on staying again in the Spring or Summer.

Amazingly Unique Getaway
Having seen this experience advertised on social media, my partner and I decided to try it out. It is absolutely and literally a one of a kind stay. Everything was picture perfect and the location lent to relaxation and solitude - but there are some wineries around if venturing out is needed. Would definitely recommend!
We had an amazing time. Great communication with host. Perfect get away for the weekend. I’ve already recommended this to multiple friends.

AMAZING!
This was an amazing stay my husband and I got to experience for our 10 year anniversary. We had so much fun and the view was beautiful. We opted for the Romance Package and the cheesecake, strawberries, and wine were such a perfect touch to our romantic getaway. The dome had no problem staying warm even on the morning it was spitting snow! Very communicative, nice and clean, such a fun adventure from beginning to end. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely anniversary weekend
My husband and I had the most relaxing time at the glamping dome! Accommodations were comfortable with all needed amenities available. We used the recommended app that comes once you reserve to plan activities. We went on a bike ride in the nearby Tunnel Hill bike trail and went to Paducah for a lovely dinner at The freight house. All was lovely! Would definitely recommend some time at Shawnee Hills Glamping dome!
