This dome is an earthen structure powered by solar power and is close to Big Bend National Park in Texas. It comfortably sleeps three guests, although the listing states that the hosts will only provide linens, pillows, and a blanket for two people.

Because of how remote the dome is, there is no flush toilet. Instead, guests will have to use a composting toilet in a separate outhouse next to the dome. There is also no shower on site; instead, guests can go into town for $2 coin showers or try the outdoor solar bag shower on the property.
