WV Glamping Domes - Alderson, West Virginia

We stayed in the aromatic cedar with our two kids for their spring break. It was a great way to unplug and spend some quality time together. I’m not much of a camper, but the kids have been wanting to go camping and this is the way to do it! It is truly a serene environment, with all the amenities and amazing service. The owners are so responsive and accommodating. The evenings were chilly, but we stayed warm in our cozy dome and enjoyed our time by the fire and hot tub. We opted for the farm to table breakfast one morning and it was delicious. The kids’ first camping trip definitely left an impact. If my review isn’t enough to persuade you to stay here, I’ll leave you with what my 10 year old daughter wrote in the guestbook!

This place is absolutely amazing. We stayed for a couple of days in The Firelight Dome and had an wonderful trip. I definitely recommend and would give a higher rating if possible. The contactless check in/out makes things simple however if you need anything at all Timothy will go above and beyond to assist you and if I may say his special recipe cider is the best I have ever tasted 😋 This place is serenity at its finest, quiet, beautiful and the wildlife is an extra treat for me, we enjoyed the squirrels, rabbits, birds, turtles, Canada geese and common merganser. Absolutely will be a repeat customer.

Update** Owners reached out via email after I published my review. Offered a full refund, and apologized for the experience. Although we still don't see eye to eye on many things, I have updated my overall rating from 2/5 to 4/5, and updated my service rating from 1/5 to 2/5.

We stayed in Aromatic Cedar. We enjoyed the hot tub/fire pit area, the privacy, the location, and the glamping theme in general. Appreciated the rustic touches, and the intricate details in the workmanship of the structure. I think the downfall was the high price vs. the expectations that were set, but not met. We were told there would be a cider tasting, and asked if we wanted a half dozen eggs for the morning. Neither of those things occurred, and there was no further communication regarding them. I see from other reviews of the same time period that guests received these things, but we did not. We waited for a text to coordinate the tasting, and had brought bacon to make with our coffee & eggs in the morning, but neither came. Ended up having to pay $55 for breakfast at a local restaurant instead. The dome was extremely cold after dark, and the heater would not go past 69 degrees. Even with the space heaters on, it was frigid, and never got close to that temperature. During winter, there should be fair warning that the dome is not airtight, has wind cracks in the walls and floors, and is comparable to basic tent camping. We had to open the door each time to use the outdoor restroom, which also allowed heat to escape. We understood that the bathhouse would be heated, but the ceiling heater in there did nothing against the open cold. We were miserable using the toilet, and unable to shower at all. Under those conditions, you may want to suggest something more than warm jammies and slippers, as we had those and still struggled. That being said, the price in that weather should reflect accordingly. We were texted an extensive list of cleaning for us to accomplish before leaving, nevermind already being charged twice for cleaning, and finding dust/cobwebs upon arrival. I told the owners all this via email, a few days after staying. Weeks later, I still have not received a response.

We had the best time staying for 2 nights in the Firelight Dome! The hosts are amazingly responsive and so helpful. The homemade cider is some of the best we’d ever had— we only wished we could’ve taken some home with us! The property is beautiful and so peacefully quiet. We spent most of our days exploring the nearby New River Gorge National Park. In the evening we were able to come back to our dome to make dinner and enjoy a campfire just steps from the water. It was so nice not having to schlep along all our kitchen stuff like on a normal camping trip. The bed was so comfortable, and we loved the twin bathtubs and the heated toilet.

Our dog LOVED the Otterwalk trail along the water towards the Da Vinci! We saw and heard so many birds; we especially enjoyed the Merganser flying by and floating along. All in all, this is an incredible place to take a break from working life. Couldn’t recommend more!

Amazing place, I recommend the Foxyridge Dome if you're wanting privacy relaxation with beautiful view. We went for Anniversary and we fell in love all over again. The whole farm and the family are so nice and accommodating. It comes with golf cart and we enjoyed lil trips checking the beauty and the hot tub worked wonderful. This dome is so clean and the king size bed is the bomb. ENJOY

My husband surprised me and took us here. Between the log hot tub, the fire pit, the seclusion, the clear view of the stars, and the dome itself, It was a perfect peaceful getaway! The hospitality was the best we have ever experienced! We will definitely be back!

This was an amazing over the top experience. We stayed at the manor for one night on Valentine’s Day. It was truly amazing. The rooms were so nicely put together, clean, beautiful view, and the attention to detail and thought was impeccable. We arrived and it was cute and cozy and very relaxing. Immediately my husband hooked up to the outdoor blue tooth and got a fire going in the fire pit. (It was still a bit chilly outside) we entered the dome and it was amazing!! It has a little kitchen and mini fridge. We did cook a full meal. We had steaks (hubby grilled up outside on the propane grill) and I made fresh green beans and mashed potatoes inside!! We had smores (the sticks were on site and provided) the showers and bathroom are nice and over the top on what you would expect. The beds were considerably comfortable and the heated blankets and electric fireplace added a warm touch!! Let’s not forget the steller view. Nothing beats laying in bed at night in a warm bed looking at the stars and moon and river!! You do have neighbors, but you don’t even realize you do except when you arrive. You don’t hear or see them from inside or the back side of your dome. Total privacy. We loved the hot tub!! It was all set up, easy to turn the jets on and at a perfect temperature!! We were in it for hours!! In the morning we ordered an amazing breakfast and enjoyed the view at the dining table eating fresh eggs and French toast cooked to perfection!! 100 outta 100. We will definitely be back in the summer!!

We stayed in the Firelight by the creek dome and it was great. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was clean and inviting and it came with everything we needed. I got to talk to Tim the owner, who was building a trellis for vegetables he is going to plant for the guest to come and pick and use during their stay. We look forward to returning and trying one of the domes on the hill, the view is beautiful.
