Ep.#92: Inside Auburn Glamping: A Family-Built Dome Retreat With Modern Comforts
Manage episode 519441339 series 3489894
A couple turned a COVID detour into Auburn Glamping, a 36-foot geodesic dome on 22 wooded acres near Lake Martin with real comforts and real quiet. We unpack the two-year build, the myths of glamping, and why guests come to disconnect and reconnect.
• dome features and layout with hot tub, full kitchen, spa-level bath, and insulated climate control
• origin story from canceled trip to first dome stay in Asheville
• land search, restrictions, and collaborating with dome-savvy architects
• raising the dome’s lower section for a usable loft and better flow
• hands-on build over two years with family and friends pitching in
• clarifying what glamping means versus tents and treehouses
• guest use cases from Auburn games to honeymoons to lake days
• booking paths via Airbnb, Vrbo, Instagram, and direct website
• lessons on time, budget, and trust while building as a couple
• why deep rest on-site often beats packing daily itineraries
