Wonderful stay. The hostess was very gracious and welcoming. The house is obviously one of the most unique properties out there, but, in addition, is very well maintained and surprisingly roomy. The property is gorgeous, and the hot tub was relaxing. Hope to come back again!
This is by far the coolest and most unique house I've ever stayed in. I really enjoyed learning about the history of the property and the area; it felt like I was staying in a private museum! The host also goes above and beyond to prepare the place. I would absolutely stay here again.
The property was unique which was the reason for selection. It was close enough to Chillicothe for food and entertainment. ( Definitely take the free trolley). Unfortunately it rained most of the weekend so we could only enjoy the outdoors for a couple of hours. The stairs are unique but if someone in your party has trouble with stairs, consider them for the main floor. Plenty of room for every one.
This property is amazing. The story of the construction, the familial connection...it all gives the property a special quality. Such attention to detail, comfort, peace, and convenience all lend an air of special elegance. Our host was sweet and attentive, but let us ha e our space. We enjoyed every moment in this gracious place.
This dome home was absolutely perfect,the home had plenty of space for our crew of 9,the home was clean and had all the amenities you could need,the hot tub was wonderful,the host Melody was the best,will definitely be coming back.
Melody was AMAZING! She met us at the bottom of the hill and followed her up to the house where she gave us the tour, history, fun stories and pointed out where everything was located. We have stayed at a good amount of rentals but this one truly had everything you could need and way more than most would expect. We loved that is had everything that we needed, plenty of room and amenities. This property is close to anything you need including grocery stores, gas stations, local attractions and downtown. We really enjoyed the relaxing ambiance and the privacy that the Dome provided. While it was close to town it was far enough away for a peaceful and relaxing get-a-way!The host really goes the extra mile with quality toilet paper, extra towels, kitchen supplies, coffee station perks, easy open hot tub, firewood, and even baked us some fresh brownies!! Just an above and beyond experience in an uniquely designed home with lovely scenery. We had a blast!

The Dome is a great unique place to stay. It's a short drive from both the the city of Chillicothe, and the Scioto trail state park. Melody keeps the place in immaculate condition, everything works well, everything is clean, and she does her best to make sure you enjoy your stay. I cannot recommend this place enough
Such a beautiful home andhomeowner! The home is unique and fun. The sprawling acreage is so peaceful. And this is probably the cleanest VRBO Iâve ever stayed in. We were in the Hocking Hills area to celebrate my daughterâs 17th birthday⊠Sheâs a big fan of being outdoors. So my husband, me, our 20-year-old son and our 17-year-old daughter rented this home so that we could hike around the Hocking Hills. Melody, the homeowner, is unbelievably kind and super quick with communications. I am a bit of a clean freak, so it was great to see that the home was impeccably clean. Everything we needed was available for us, including firewood to start our outdoor fire where we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. I would stay here again.
The Dome on the Hill is SO unique and cozy! We loved everything about the house and gorgeous property. Our host Melody was outstanding in every way and surprised us with a batch of warm brownies upon arrival that were out of this world delicious! If you are in the Chillicothe area this is THE place to stay.
This was the perfect place for our Girls Get-Away Weekend! Peaceful and relaxing! Close enough to food, shopping, and hiking but far enough out for nature and stargazing! Loved this beautiful and unique house and property!
The "dome" was wonderful to stay in. It was clean and in a good location to lots of activities. Melody was a wonderful host and exceptional to work with. She went the extra mile.
The Dome on the Hill was absolute amazing. The home itself is stunning and the hostess is every vacationers dream come true. Such compassion for her guests to make you truly feel welcome. Loved every day of our stay! Highly recommended! Beautiful location and some of the most wonderful people you will ever meet!
My friends and I were blown away how convenient, well stocked, and thoughtful everything here was during our stay. From the multiple coffee stations down to the fact that the knives were actually sharp. What a beautiful and unique home! We saw both deer and turkey on the grounds. Also, the hot tub is phenomenal!!
Beyond words. This is an amazing home. We were looking to make memories on this trip and this home did that for us. Melody, the host, was so nice and made the best brownies. The home is stocked with everything you can imagine. Beautiful scenery, wildlife and relaxing environment.
After an exhausting December, my husband and I along with our friends spent a few days to refresh and re-energize for the New Year. We loved our time at Dome on the Hill. We played games, built puzzles, hot tubbed, explored the area, and had wonderful home cooked meals in an amazing kitchen. The house was completely stocked with all that we needed to relax and have an enjoyable time together. We are all history buffs, so a walk at the Hopewell Cultural Center was fascinating. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We are thinking of coming back during the Perseid Meteor Shower in August !!
Seven of us, three generations had a great stay at the dome, such an interesting place, plenty of room for all of us to gather together as well as room for privacy, very neat and clean, well furnished, our five year old grandson wants to come back again soon, so do his parents and grandparents. The hostess was wonderful, couldnât ask for anyone nicer or better,
We stayed at "The Dome Home" (as the kids called it) for the weekend on our way to see The Totality of the eclipse. A unique experience all around.
Lovely hostess, clean home, beautiful property. We had a wonderful time.
I cannot say enough good things about this wonderful property and the amazing host. She met us at the door, walked us through the home and answered any questions we had. The property was even better than advertised, a truly unique and very comfortable home. If we have a chance to stay here again in the future, we absolutely will without a moment's hesitation.
If you want a clean, quite paradise in Ross County, this is it. Melody was a great hostess. She had anything we would need in this house. Very clean. This is about 5 miles from Atomic Speedway.
My name is Melody, and the DOME on the Hill is a family-owned property that was recently completely renovated and opened as a rental vacation home. All our family are Chillicothe natives. As for me, -- your host, I love music, jigsaw puzzles, & consignment shopping. I am a "people person", so I love meeting our guests and making sure their stay is everything they need and expect in their home away from home.
Nestled on top of a hill surrounded by nothing but trees, your neighborhood consists of maybe a few birds and the deer that cross through the field in the morning. The large yard is enclosed with a wooden fence and has a variety of trees and perennials around the property. Amazingly, being so private, our home is minutes away from a major highway and town, hiking trails, restaurants, and entertainment. The best of both worlds!
There IS no place like ours... period. There may be other domes, but this one was designed and built by an amazing engineer husband/wife team. The blueprints hang framed in the lower level, and a photo book lays on the coffee table which shows each step of construction. The house looks small from the outside, yet it is incredibly spacious inside. The unique structure allows loads of individual living and closet space, and fun, "unconventional" angled windows and walls. It's decorated with a "homey" atmosphere, with lots of color and comfort, and is meant to be lived in.
