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!

Solitude is important to us at Sweetbriar Ridge for the best nature immersion experience. Each of our domes are 250-350+ feet apart nestled along the woodsy tree line to increase privacy and solitude during your stay. There are a total of 3 domes on the property for guests to rent.
Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am daily to respect the other guests on the property.
See our full deposit, damage fee, cancellation, and refund policy on our terms and conditions page. Or refer to the policies on the channel/booking platform your reservation was created through.
Often wildlife can frequently visit or often live on the property due to the restoration and conservation work that continually takes place on the property.
- We ask that all guests respect any wildlife they may see or encounter on the property.
- We ask that guests do not leave any food or dirty dishes out anywhere on the property or in the dome. Safe bear practices must be followed at all times as the domes are very similar to a tent and food left out is an invitation for the local wildlife to find a snack.
- Litter and trash not property disposed of by guests may be subject to an additional fee.
- We ask that guests be mindful of water consumption during their stay to conserve our natural water source on the property sourced 250 ft below the domes.
Glamping is equal parts glamp + camp. Which means there will be the occasional bugs, dirt, and whatever mother nature decides to do during your stay. Though we provide many of the same comforts from home, we are not a 5 star hotel. Please note we do not provide on demand services. Your stay will be self-check-in through an electric key pad lock and your hosts can be reached through the messaging app via your booking platform or by phone for a nonmedical emergency.
