Welcome to Whispering Woods - A Truly Unique Glamping Experience

Address, key box and gate codes are provided in either email or through the channel used to book your stay.  All mapping apps will get you to the address correctly but it can be difficult to see particularly at night.  Pictures are provided in the arrival package details

Once inside the main gate, there will be a sign pointing to the gravel drive that leads to the dome (just to the left after entering the gate).  The drive is lined with reflectors to help guide your path if it is dark.

Please only use the gravel parking and driveway designated for the dome unless otherwise approved with us ahead of time.  We do have space about 1/4 mile off the road to turn around a larger vehicle or a trailer.

• Mini-Split AC/Heat: Controlled by a remote mounted below the unit on the wall. Set to ~72°F. Use Vornado fans to circulate air toward the large windows, as the kitchenette stays cooler.
• Lighting:
  • Main switch at the door controls rope lighting in the dome’s center.
  • Under-cabinet kitchen lighting: Button switch next to the coffee station on the curved wall at counter level.
  • Small LED light on the central wall, controlled by a remote, mounted near the mini-split remote.
• Fridge & Cabinets: Feel free to use any items left in the fridge, freezer, or cabinets.

  • Look for white stripes on border trees. Contact us for help with boundaries.

  • After exploring, check for ticks. Use the provided tick removal kit and review tick information.
