This quaint earthen adobe structure was featured on HGTV's 'Mighty Tiny Houses' and while it has plenty of space for you, your partner, and possibly one other guest to sleep and whip up a meal, there are other things that you'll have to adjust too.

There is not a flushing toilet, but a composting outhouse nearby, and no running water for a shower, but the host does provide a solar bag shower and you'll need to bring in some bottled water.

If you're accustomed to air conditioning, well, you're in luck - maybe. The Dome is equipped with a small window unit that can operate during solar hours, but the host can't guarantee it will work because it's all dependent upon the sun.

So you might have to stick with an oscillating fan.

There will be those that ABSOLUTELY have to stay connected

There is wi-fi access on site along with solar power that can charge your device. The solar power converter will take care of your phone, laptop, and lights, but not your hairdryer! So, you can stay connected if you absolutely must.

The Dome offers unique glimpses into the night sky.

This place offers a truly life-changing experience with breathtaking sunrises and sunsets and at night it provides an unmatched view of the cosmos because where the Dome is located, it's under a dark sky ordinance. That means you'll get a view of the cosmos as you've never seen it before.

Activities close to the Dome.

Big Bend National Park is just a 25-minute drive away along with the Terlingua ghost town.

If you're looking for a great escape, one where you can unplug from the digital world reconnect with nature, and check out the Milky Way like you've never seen it before, you might consider this West Texas destination for sure.
