Streamside Geodome

Location was beautiful and had everything we needed.

Nothing

I loved everything about it! We just didn’t get to spend enough time to explore.

We liked the hottub that provided us with a bit of relief from the cold. The amount of birds were nice to listen to and provided a peacefulness.

The fact that it was a semi open unit which didn't provide enough protection from the cold and the bathroom that was completely open was not a nice experience during our stay. Not having a place or even a cupboard to put your clothes in was a bit of an inconvenience as well. The unit being close to the gravel road was disappointing. All in all it was a nice experience but definitely not worth the money we had to pay. Nice but didn't meet our expectations.

The water stream

Beautiful location.

Having my own property listed on this platform that I manage, I am aware of how important honest and fair reviews are – I booked at Streamside Geodome as a Birthday surprise getaway for my partner and really went on the great reviews on here (which I thought justified the high rate). To say we are disappointed in the experience is an understatement. When there are facilities/services offered – those facilities and services are why we booked there (mainly the wood burning hot tub and the fireplace), they are what you pay for. The facilities on offer should all be functional and well maintained – you should be able to utilize them. Streamside Geodome has the potential to be as great as its listing portrays. Please take note of the following mentioned when booking here. 1. The wood burning hot tub – the wood burner is in dire need of a service and the flue and cowl need a serious clean, we managed to clear some of the soot from the cowl with a long twig which helped a little but bad airflow mixed with damp wood that was supplied made it impossible to use on the first evening there. Please take note we have used these before and know how to get them burning. The second evening we managed to get it going but it took 4 boxes of firelighters and newspaper that we bought in town. I queried the safety/cleanliness of the water in the tub with Lara and was assured that it is due to it coming from a reservoir which is fed from the mountain so it would be a bit murky (see picture attached), and it was refilled and cleaned after each guest. It didn’t help that there were long brown hair strands in the tub and the floor was slimy. We were prepared for the cold and were aware that the living space was open, we were not prepared for a fireplace that is long overdue a service, leaks internally when it rains (mix that with wood that is already damp) and due to this is redundant. The gas heater is a great touch but only beneficial if you site right next to it on the bar stools.

Loved that it has a rustic romantic feel, even in winter it’s got its own unique beauty.
