If you’re craving a getaway that blends nature, quiet, and comfort, this dome retreat in Petawawa is the kind of place that instantly slows your breathing the moment you arrive. Tucked inside 59 acres of private forest with over 1,000 feet of sandy shoreline, it’s a stay designed for people who want nature without the hassle of traditional camping.

The Space

This geodome sits between tall pines with a full bay window and skylight that pull the outdoors right into the room. Inside, you’ll find a queen bed, a sofa bed for extra guests, air-conditioning, a small kitchenette, and space that feels simple, cozy, and intentional.

The bathroom setup is outdoors: a private flush toilet and shower sit just outside the dome. Towels and bedding aren’t provided, so pack your own. There’s also no WiFi — an intentional unplug.

The Experience

Days here revolve around the forest and the water. Guests get free access to kayaks and canoes, hiking trails, and the quiet shoreline just steps away. Evenings mean BBQ dinners, fire-pit conversations, and lying under a clear dome window watching the stars move overhead.

Though you’re deep in the woods, everything you might need — groceries, coffee, restaurants, LCBO, gas — is under 10 minutes away.

Who It’s Perfect For

• Couples wanting a quiet, off-grid-feeling retreat

• Small families or friends (up to 4 guests)

• Anyone craving a digital detox

• Travelers who want comfort but still want to “feel” the outdoors

Pet-friendly options are available for an extra fee, and parking is directly beside the dome for easy access.

Why People Love It

This dome offers something rare: a true nature escape that doesn’t require giving up comfort. The combination of forest, riverfront access, and a unique skylight dome creates a stay that feels memorable, restorative, and different from anything you’ll find in a typical cabin or cottage.

If you’ve been needing a weekend where you actually unplug, breathe deeper, and come home feeling reset, this Petawawa dome delivers exactly that.
