The Legendary Snow Globe of Estes Park
For the first time, you can stay at the legendary Estes Park Dome -- also known as the Snow Globe, the Golf Ball, and even the Death Star (22-ZONE3284). Our geodesic dome captures the imagination as soon as you lay eyes on it.
+ Eco-friendly rental w/ EV charger, heat pump & more
A whimsical retreat for 6, 10 mins from downtown Estes. Peep the 3d floor plans!
********** PLEASE READ THE NEXT FEW SENTENCES CAREFULLY!
- This home is off US 36 between Estes and Boulder (see drone pics). The road noise isn`t bad but this isn`t a great fit for those with sensitive ears.
- We do have neighbors, but not many and they`re not easily seen.
- We ask that guests please please please start a load of towels in the wash and load and start the dishwasher at departure. This lowers our cleaning fee, and we pass it on to you.
- The jets in our tub are slated for repair but they currently don`t work (though you can use it as a regular tub)

*************************
Step into the Dome and be mesmerized by the 30 feet curved ceiling and the gorgeous sunlight streaming in through the Dome’s gigantic triangular windows.
The Dome was built from a home starter kit in the 1970s and has been lovingly owned and refurbished ever since. Modeled after Buckminster Fuller’s ingenious geodesic dome design, the Dome is crafted off triangular structures that maximize the home’s strength while using less materials.
In the spirit of protecting our wildlife and planet, the Dome is 100% electric and includes an induction stove, heat pump, EV charger, energy-efficient fans, and water-saving toilets. The Dome also has 100% organic cotton linens.
Our kitchen is large and well-equipped for those who love to cook and bake (as well as is meticulously labeled because we know how confusing anything but your own kitchen can be). For the coffee fanatics, we have an extensive coffee bar for the diversified barista: espresso, drip, Chemex, pour-over, and French press. The kitchen boasts a new induction stove, spices and sauces from both western and eastern cultures, and handmade stoneware pottery and accents from the owners’ family. Don’t forget to open up the “Delightful Appliances” cabinet, where you’ll find everything from rice cookers to a popcorn maker and ice shaver machine.
The main floor also features a 54 inch TV linked to Roku, a Bluetooth/stereo system (the Dome`s acoustics are so funky that you can’t tell where sound is originating from), and yoga mats and weights (doing sun salutations in the morning streaming sun is a must!).
The Dome is generously spacious for six people. It has three bedrooms all with queen beds and a loft with a twin bed, and two full bathrooms and a half bath. The rooms are like, as someone described, entering a rocket ship--skylight windows dance across the slanted Dome walls.
The first floor bedroom is an ensuite bedroom with a private bathroom. The second floor houses two bedrooms. The second-floor large bedroom is one of the best places in the Dome to savor a full moon and original abstract art from local Colorado artists. It also is the secret entryway into an upstairs loft, which doubles as a game room stocked with a 100+ Nintendo game system and a daycouch that can also be a twin bed. Don’t forget to peep out the window of the loft: this is the money shot of the Dome where you are at the closest point to the Dome’s apex and can marvel at the 30 ft below you in this architectural gem.
You’ll also find the luxury master bathroom on the main floor, with a spa shower and bathtub, as well as a spectacular gunbarrel stock wood live-edged counter and metal fixtures, all cut and self-welded by the Dome’s pervious owners. The back of the luxury bathroom also holds our spacious laundry room, with a laundry machine, dryer, and drying lines.
From the stunning wrap-around deck outside, you’ll often be able to see herds of elk come to graze and rest on the Dome’s front lawn. Bears, wild turkeys, rabbits, foxes, deer, Stellar blue jays, and broad-tailed hummingbirds in the summer grace the Dome’s premises. And don’t be afraid if you happen to sneak a peek of our (non-poisonous) garter snake Gary and his family who live in the red-rocked garden area in front of the Dome; they sometimes come out in the morning sun to get a bit of sun-tanning before heading back into the stone crevices.
The Dome sits on five beautifully forested acres in Muggins Gulch, famous for being the home of Rocky Mountain Jim, the one-eyed rebel rouser and an early mountain guide of Estes Park who famously won the heart of Lady Isabella Bird, an erudite English lady who traversed the United States in search of adventure in the late 1800s. The best restaurant in town (Bird and Jim) is named after their elusive love affair. (You can find Lady Bird’s diaries of Jim and Estes Park in our second floor library.)
The Dome is 20 minutes from the National Park`s Beaver Meadows entrance and Lumpy Ridge, and 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park. It’s a 1:15 trip from Denver and 40 min trip to Boulder.
If you love the whimsical and the radder side of life, the iconic Dome of Estes Park is for you!
Guests have access to the entire property. Note the garage is locked off for owner storage.
We have turned over most management to our cohosts from The Wolf Rentals. Please reach out! Our team has hosted 15,000 or more reservations and we are super happy to have them help us out!
Our home is conveniently located off Highway 36 about 10 minutes from downtown Estes Park, 20 minutes from the National Park`s Beaver Meadows entrance and Lumpy Ridge. There is great local hiking nearby, particularly in Hermit Park, where you can hike or bike to the old Homestead Meadows and see the original cabins that were inhabited back in the 1800s.
You`ll need a car, and AWD/4WD in the winters.
NEIGHBORS & NOISE
It is super important for us to maintain a peaceful environment for our neighbors. Please no parties or loud music that may disrupt their tranquility.
SMOKING AND FIRES
To minimize the risk of fire, smoking is prohibited on the premises. Outdoor wood fire pits are also illegal in Estes Park`s vacation homes.
BEARS
To ensure guest safety, we urge visitors not to leave any food items in their cars as bears frequent the area and may attempt to break in. Make sure you close the bear bar on it.
CELL SERVICE
Estes (and our home) can have spotty cell service. Please enable WiFi calling from your phone.
MINUT
To maintain guest safety and protect the property, we utilize Minut noise monitors that track decibel levels, temperature, and humidity. It`s located on the dome`s ceiling at the highest point to detect any party gatherings and prevent noise complaints from neighbors.
