Yes! We are open year-round! We make the most of our Minnesota winters by getting outdoors and enjoying cross country skiing, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and hiking followed by cozying up inside the dome with a warm drink in hand. And did we mention each dome has infloor heat for those chilly winter mornings?

Sustainability is important at Sweetbriar Ridge. Not only do geodomes provide a unique and safe place to stay, domes are a true example of “doing more with less.” A glamping dome encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area, thus saving on materials and cost. They are one of the most reliable, strongest and energy efficient structures. The dome’s free-standing design allows for air and energy to circulate enabling natural cooling and passive solar for natural heating in winter. At Sweetbriar Ridge, our commitment to sustainability is unwavering, ensuring that every stay with us leaves the lightest possible footprint on our precious planet.

One of the most unique (and dog friendly) glamping experiences out there! And trust us, it is waaaay better than sleeping in a tent! Our geodesic domes provide all the comforts from home with all the benefits of being in nature without sleeping on a cold, hard ground. Each dome is equipped with a kitchenette with fridge, 100% cotton linens, shower amenities and essentials, 1 king bed, 1 queen lofted bed, lounge area, table and chairs, heat/ac, infloor heat, and amazing views through the stargazing window and 20 ft bay windows.

The glamping domes are constructed of galvanized steel, extreme insulated liner, and pvc canvas that will keep you warm and dry. When it is windy/rainy outside it can be loud but this is expected and part of the unique experience!
