Guests frequently praise Unique Escapes for its luxurious comfort, luxury amenities, and thoughtful dog-friendly touches, often highlighting the adjustable beds and Nespresso machines. However, reviews also mention issues with interior cleanliness consistency, wear and tear in the domes, and the expectation for guests to handle trash and linens upon checkout.

Positively charmed. My husband and I were looking for a getaway within reasonably driving distance of the city and stumbled across this glamping site. There are four domes available, each with their distinct personalities. We stayed in the Modern Luxury dome, which was plenty space for the two of us, but there are others that have nearly double the space. Our dome was outfitted with a ton of creature comforts, like a full kitchenette, a full bathroom, a wall-mounted TV (with complimentary Youtube Premium!), and an extremely comfortable mattress on an adjustable head- and foot-power base, so that we were able to watch the snowfall outside our igloo from the perfect position. Checking in was a cinch. Each dome is programmed with a numeric lock, and the passcode corresponds with the last digits of the lodger's phone number, so gaining access is super easy. Inside, the space is definitely one-of-a-kind. It's like a giant igloo, with the bathroom making up the center middle and the rest of the studio space orients around the perimeter. The bed looks onto the outside, which presents a unique and serene windowscape. We hit some small snafus during our visit. We arrived just ahead of a big snowstorm, and it was pretty cold inside even with the heat left on at a supposed 75 degrees. After emailing and calling the property manager, someone showed up with a space heater that made a huge difference. After the storm subsided, someone also came by and wordlessly shoveled all the driveways and walkways, which we certainly appreciated. The immediate neighborhood is pretty quiet and doesn't have a whole lot going on, but we were able to find a few things that allowed us to carve out our own version of the fun stay. Within driving distance, there's a supermarket, Resorts World casino, Kartrite indoor water park, and two small tubing/skiing options.

It was less than a 2 hour drive, but the neighborhood is not very safe. The domes are a bit worn and for the price you're paying, it's not very clean. They ask you to wash the dishes, take the trash out and even take the sheets off if used when checking out. I believe if you're paying this much, all those services should be included in the price. It was a one time experience but nothing more.

We had the most incredible stay with Unique Escapes! I’d never stayed in a dome before and wasn’t quite sure what to expect... it exceeded every expectation. The experience felt both luxurious and cozy, with thoughtful touches everywhere: satin sleep masks, a Nespresso machine ready to go, beautiful bath amenities, and the biggest surprise… the rain shower bath. I was blown away by how welcoming the space was for our pups — thoughtful bowls provided, and plenty of wide-open outdoor space for them to romp and explore. Watching them enjoy the fresh air and freedom added so much joy to the experience. And the outdoor fire pit? Magical. Sitting by the flames at night, wrapped in warmth, looking out at the quiet scenery — it was the perfect way to unwind and soak in the setting. Our stay was a full sensory reset for both humans and dogs alike. Unique Escapes has truly mastered the art of creating a memorable, comfortable, and beautifully curated escape. We can’t wait to return! ???

Every detail felt thoughtful, from the curated activities to the comfortable accommodations. It was clear they put a lot of care into planning, and the result was a trip that felt relaxing, personal, and truly special. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend Unique Escapes NY to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and unique travel experience.

perfect getaway from nyc. took our family less than 2 hours. my wife saw an instagram for it and booked it even though we were hesitant it might not be as nice as a hotel. boy were we wrong, the dome was awesome! spacious and everything was super high quality. we, and less importantly (our kids), loved it! we will be back in the spring

Beautiful space and relaxing weekend at the Nature Lovers Dome. The lot at Unique Escapes features 4 Domes, each with its own theme and decor. The domes are nicely spaced apart so it doesn't feel like you're on top of anyone else even when all domes are booked. On the outside, you'll find a fire pit surrounded by comfy chairs and swings. On the inside, you'll find a beautifully layed out space that includes... a kitchenette stocked with any utensils and cookware you would need. A mini fridge and Nespresso coffee machine. (Nice touch!) A queen size motorized bed that allows you to adjust to your perfect sleep setting. You get a stunning view of the outside facing away from the other domes so it feels private and has a curtain you can pull down for added privacy. We opted to leave the curtain up and woke up to deer outside every morning ?? The space also includes a reading nook that makes for a beautiful photo op and a queen size temperpedic pull out couch. They've spared no expense on the quality of linens and towels and even supply amenities like shampoo, conditioner and body wash. There's also handsoap, dish soap and additional cleaning supplies should you need to clean up. The only small critique I would give is to have periodic deep cleans added to the maintenance of the property. Like vent dusting and getting into the crevices of the kitchen, showers and fridge. Overall 5 star stay and I'll absolutely be back to check out one of the other spaces.

We absolutely loved our stay — we didn’t want to leave! The dome was beautiful and so thoughtfully set up. It was super cozy, bathroom was perfectly clean, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the tools we needed to cook! My dog had the best time exploring the property (he actually LOVED the entire space, and I loved that there was a fluffy dog bed), and we loved hiking at the nearby town park and checking out Roscoe Beer Co. Sadly, the rain kept us from having a campfire, but we ended up having a super cozy movie night and made dinner inside — it was perfect in its own way. The bed is adjustable which was awesome, and the pull-out bed in the couch is the comfiest I've ever slept on! Heat and cool was super adjustable so we stayed so cozy. The check in and check out process could not have been easier-- definitely recommend!!!

I cannot say enough about how awesome our experience was! We stayed in the “Rosé all day” dome and absolutely loved the beautiful decor and boutique feel of it. Everything was super clean and offered amazing amenities such as shampoo, hand soap, towels, and a full use kitchen! I was also so impressed by the dog friendly amenities, such as a water bowl and adorable dog bed included. Since it was snowing out, we did not have a chance to use the adorable chair swings, bbq grill, or firepit on premises, but each dome also has their own private outdoor area of those included. The location was nice, in the sense of you are definitely out in nature, but have a Walmart and other local spots within a few minutes drive, as well as the Resort's World casino! Overall, the perfect spot for a cute getaway or bachelorette for those that love nature, but aren’t quite the camping type like myself.

Our recent glamping trip was amazing, especially as dog owners! The location was beautiful, perfect for exploring with our pup. Our dome was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway right outside the city.

My wife and I stayed in one of the smaller Domes which was the 007 and when we say it was breathtaking it really was. The moment we walked in we were in awe, it was just beautiful and well put together, even though the dome was one of the smaller ones it was still spacious so I can imagine how massive the others were, the view was beautiful, and it’s not far from parks, trails and dining, I have nothing but amazing things to say but not sure if it’ll all fit here but I definitely look fwd to returning, it was the most relaxing time we’ve had in years, thank you unique escapes
