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 space
The main level of the dome consists of two cozy bedrooms, a living room with a sofa, comfy chair & coffee table, smart TV and an entire wall of windows that look out onto the perennial flowing creek. Additionally, you'll find a table that seats 6, fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom with vanity, flushing 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, 4 folding 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.

Guest access
You’re welcome to explore our 10 acres of property including 900 ft of creek frontage, a hiking trail to the ridge, and mountain views. We ask that you do not enter any other of our glamping spots. No one else has access to your dome.

Other things to note
We will offer directions that avoid the worst roads but you will encounter gravel and a few ruts coming into the property. Any vehicle can make it fine when taking it slow but a larger vehicle with higher clearance is preferred. Only in winter when there is snow and ice is 4wd required.

We provide coffee, creamer, sugar, snacks, plus all the bedding, towels, soap, TP, etc that you’ll need for your stay.

The Cosby entrance to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park is 3 mi in one direction, rafting on the Pigeon River is 3 mi in another direction, and we can show you some beautiful fishing spots for bass & trout less than 3 miles from our place.

The following does NOT apply to reservations made on Airbnb (who has their own vetting & resolution process). For all other booking platforms, guests are required to complete our pre-arrival process including a photo of a valid ID, signing our rental conditions, and submitting a valid credit or debit card to be pre-approved for a security deposit (card will not be charged just authorized in case of damage or rule violation). This process needs to be completed before check-in.
