Four Seasons of Glamping: Year-Round Dome Experiences in Ontario
Some of the best memories are made in the stillness of nature—when the sunlight dances on the water and nights are spent under a blanket of stars instead of the glow of a phone screen. You can make moments like these a reality with a stay at Marmora’s luxurious Sky View Glamping Dome, nestled on 24 acres of peaceful, picturesque countryside in Eastern Ontario.
Our sturdy geodesic dome is open year-round, so you can experience the magic of every season. Whether it’s the quiet beauty of freshly fallen snow, the first blooms of spring, warm summer evenings, or crisp autumn days painted in golden leaves, there’s always something special to discover.
What Does Each Season Look Like at the Dome?
Fresh, Dew-Filled Days in Spring
As the last snow of the winter melts away, experience a fresh awakening at the dome in spring. From your panoramic windows, you can watch the first wildflowers blossom through thawed meadows. As the morning melts into noon, stroll along lush trails that ribbon through the wilderness.
The spring is a wonderful time to spot wildlife come alive after winter months, from morning alpaca visits and shy deer to musical birdsong. Inside our eco-conscious dome, continue to enjoy rustic comforts such as our well-equipped kitchenette and wood stove
Lively Summer Evenings and a World of Possibilities
Summer heralds long, light-filled days at the dome, accompanied by a medley of birdsong and chirping insects. Begin your sunny mornings with a refreshing outdoor cold-water shower and a king-size breakfast on the deck. Later, slip into the hammock with a book or nap to your heart’s content.
Visit the friendly alpaca farm with kids, spot wild turkeys strut their stuff, or watch deer graze across the vast farmland. As the sun dips into the horizon, fire up the BBQ grill and enjoy classic campsite favourites. Spend joyous summer evenings with family and loved ones – sharing stories, laughter, and gooey s’mores under the stars.
Gilded Foliage and Crisp Autumn Days
Our panoramic dome allows a stunning vantage to view the wallpaper-like vivid crimson-and-gold colours of the fall. Autumn’s crisp nights are best spent lounging in the toasty, wood-burning hot tub and sipping mulled cider under yawning, pinpricked skies.
Fall days bring a stillness to the dome with fewer crowds and quiet moments, allowing guests the perfect opportunity to explore forest trails at leisure.
Cozy Winter Nights Under the Stars
Winter in Ontario transforms the dome into a romantic, snow-draped wonderland, where cozy vibes take centrestage. Inside, your 500-square-foot indoor living space stays toasty warm thanks to the wood-burning stove.
To ensure your comfort, our staff may preheat the dome using propane tanks. The insulated design of the dome further keeps the heat locked in. Enjoy long winter nights with a relaxing soak in the wood-fired bathtub, or lounge by the fire pit. If you prefer to remain tucked in, gaze at the stars from the comfort of your bed through our clear top window.
