A Bit More About The Domestead

Whether you're driving up the forested road in summer or navigating snow-packed trails in winter, getting here is part of what makes the experience so special.

Accessible only by those willing to journey up a 1.2 mile steep mountain road, The Domestead is a place that changes with the seasons and offers something different each time you visit. Getting here is not always easy, whether you're winding up the forested road in summer or navigating snow-packed trails in winter, getting here is part of what makes the experience so special.

 

Winter Access

 

The road, from bottom to top, is very well maintained and sloped all year round, but winter access to The Domestead depends on snow conditions and mountain weather.

 

When conditions allow, guests may drive all the way to the dome in a AWD or 4WD vehicle (required). As of 1/7/26 snow tires have not been required but conditions can change quickly so please plan accordingly.

 

After snowfall, vehicle access may be temporarily restricted for safety. During these times, guests may access The Domestead by walking, hiking on packed snow, or snowshoeing along the access road. Snowshoes are provided when needed, and this approach is part of the quiet, immersive winter experience.

 

For added convenience, host-assisted transportation can be made available for an additional fee using a tracked ATV or snowmobile, depending on conditions. This service can transport guests and/or gear and must be reserved in advance.

 

We have been accessing the Domestead for many years in all types of conditions, we closely monitor conditions and will communicate with you before arrival to help determine the best and safest access option.

 

Summer & Shoulder Season

 

Access In snow-free months, The Domestead is easily accessible by vehicle. Guests may also choose to hike the dome if they wish.

We had a wonderful stay at the Domestead! It’s the perfect private getaway not far from Boise and stocked with what you need! Paul was super responsive and proactive about everything.

We really enjoyed our getaway to the Dome, such a unique experience and it's incredible what they've built. They really have thought of everything, even including bear spray so when we took our dog on a walk we felt extra safe! It's nice having so much privacy to yourself, the view is gorgeous, and you can tell how much Paul cares about the Dome and the people staying there. Very detail oriented, we had everything we needed while we were there, and the peace and quiet was exactly what we needed.

This place is a fantastic modern private getaway. Great views. We took our dogs on a hike to check out the great views. Quick drive from Boise. Paul is a fantastic host and made sure before, during and leaving that we were taken care of.

The Domestead was a true getaway in every sense! We watched the 250 Independence Day fireworks from the side of the mountain without battling crowds. Coffee from the deck in the morning. Star gazing, bird watching, and endless hiking. Airport trail meets up at the end of the property. All our needs were meticulously thought out. Privacy was obviously the goal and it hit. Me and hubby had a very special holiday weekend because we had an entire mountain to ourselves! Lots for our dogs to explore. Thank you Paul!

This is an incredible location and provided an absolutely unforgettable getaway for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary. The views are exquisite and we loved watching the weather change as we sat at the fire pit outside or looked through the huge dome window. The Domestead provides the perfect mix of comfort and wilderness.

Paul's place was incredible! We've never stayed in a dome before and it was the ultimate glamping experience. We were so cozy being lulled to sleep by the sound of rain on the dome. The view was stunning, and it was so lovely to be able to enjoy indoors and outdoors. We felt very spoiled to have such a secluded, peaceful spot with luxury amenities. Paul was a great host - very helpful and responsive. With being only a little over an hour from Boise, we will definitely be back!

Paul’s Domestead is a unique place to stay. The views are beautiful and is a quick drive to shops and restaurants. The only problem we had was finding the road to take us to the Dome. The sign from Anderson Rd to turn on Bush Creek Rd was missing (or we missed it) but we called Paul and he stayed on the phone until we found the Dome. Such a relaxing place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway trip and it was hands down one of the most beautiful and coolest places we have ever been to. The views were absolutely incredible. The bed was probably the comfiest bed I’ve ever laid in, lol. Paul was extremely kind and caring. He answered any questions for us and made sure we were right at home. We will never forget this adventure. Thank you so much, Paul and Bobbi for being so awesome!

Our stay at the Domestead was incredible. The views were truly next-level and the space is so comfortable and thoughtfully set up. It was easy to settle in and just relax. It was exactly the kind of unique, quiet, nature-filled getaway we were looking for. Paul was a great host. He was super responsive, gave us awesome restaurant recommendations and clearly cared that we had a good time. They were also very welcoming to our dog which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be coming back.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Domestead. While the listing mentions “glamping,” it truly felt like the best of both worlds—immersed in nature like a tent experience, but with the comfort and amenities of a modern home. The views from the dome are beautiful, and the sense of seclusion made it feel like a true getaway. It was quiet, peaceful, and a great place to slow down and recharge. We especially loved the heated floors—they made the space feel warm and comfortable. One of the most memorable parts of the stay was hearing the rain on the dome at night—it had the cozy, nostalgic sound of rain on a tent, but without any of the worry of getting wet. Mornings were just as special, watching the fog roll through the valley and slowly rise up and over the dome. It made for an incredibly peaceful and unique experience. Paul was a great host—communication was clear and timely. We would absolutely recommend for a unique and peaceful retreat.

Two nights at The Domestead and this place exceeded every expectation. If you're looking for a secluded, thoughtful getaway, stop scrolling. Paul's communication was exceptional from the moment we booked. His recommendations were spot on and you can feel how much pride he takes in this property. That energy carries through every corner of it. The dome is stunning. Incredible views, fully stocked kitchen, and honestly everything was thought of. We usually pack "just in case" essentials because most places miss the little things. We didn't need any of it. Highlight of the trip: driving down to town near sunset and spotting a pack of elk coming up the ravine. That moment alone told us we made the right call. This is our favorite mountain town and The Domestead is now a permanent part of why we keep coming back. We'll be back this summer to float the river. Paul, thank you. 10/10 without hesitation

The Domestead was a relaxing weekend getaway! The view from the property over the surrounding town was amazing. It was great to see the sunset on the back porch sitting around the fire pit.

We had a fantastic last minute getaway at Paul’s Domestead! We booked the same day we would arrive and Paul responded immediately confirming and providing instructions. Probably the best communication I’ve experienced on Airbnb! Wow! What an amazing place. We loved the uniqueness but mostly the location. We saw countless elk and deer. Just sit back, relax, enjoy the view and the wildlife.

We loved our stay at the Domestead! You could tell Paul and Bobbi put a lot of hard work and love into it, it was fully kitted out with anything you could need. Including heated floors! They were fabulous hosts and it was truly a perfect little trip to get out in nature while keeping some of our creature comforts. I would absolutely recommend!

Managed to book this as a quick last minute weekend trip and I am so thrilled I did! There was a very minor hiccup at the start of the trip (no fault of his own) but Paul was so attentive and friendly and fixed it immediately. The place itself is stunning. Beautiful flooring (paired with heat) that made the place feel extra luxurious. I’ve stayed in domes before, but this one blows the others out of the water. No comparison what so ever. The interior of the dome is beautiful, but the view is absolutely insane. The property had a nice stream running through it and lots of trails for my dogs to enjoy. My boyfriend also found a nice shed from a buck, which is always a fun find. We were met with a herd of deer in the morning during our walk as well. The location is perfect: secluded but not far from town. And it’s a quick drive to one of my favorite hotsprings in the area!

The Domestead does not disappoint! It is super secluded surrounded by Forrest and you can't hear any traffic noise or even just general human noise but it's only also only a quick (but steep) 5min drive from restaurants, a grocery store and even a pharmacy! We couldn't have wished for a better host! He was super quick to respond and always super friendly! We will be back for sure

Amazing location!!! My husband and I have been renting Airbnbs for the last ten years and this is by far one of the most amazing sites we've ever stayed at. Minutes from the small town of Crouch, Idaho, this airbnb is close enough to town, but completely private and a peaceful mountain setting. The host was super responsive and very kind. The airbnb was stocked with everything you could imagine, and ever need. We love the word burning stove, the amazing views and the luxury accommodations. No expense was spared when creating this get away location. If you're looking for a one of a kind stay that you'll be talking about for years, this is the place to go!

What a unique and peaceful property! I can’t say enough good things about Paul’s hospitality. He really made sure that we had everything we needed and more. The dome was extremely cozy and the views were incredible! The road to get there was very manageable and the small town of Crouch was very close for shopping and restaurants. Highly recommend for a getaway from reality and being one with nature.

Paul and Bobbi’s Domestead was an amazing getaway! The property is incredibly peaceful and beautifully maintained, with breathtaking views all around. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind, and we loved having dinner at some nice restaurants nearby. Paul and Bobbi were fantastic, very responsive hosts who made everything easy and enjoyable. It was a wonderful spot to ring in the New Year, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely stay here again!
