Booking Information
Check in is after 3 pm, and check out is by 10 am. If you are arriving after 5 pm please contact us to arrange a late check in. Please keep in mind that check-ins after 10 pm cannot be accommodated as it may disturb other guests during quiet hours. For any inquiries regarding an extra late check-in, kindly email us at hello@balsamridgeforestdomes.ca.
While our standard minimum stay is two nights, we do offer some flexibility for single nights depending on the year:
- 2024: Single nights are available on select Thursdays.
- 2025: Single nights are available on select Sundays.
For the most up-to-date information on single night availability, please check the reservation calendar on our website. Thursdays in 2024 and Sundays in 2025 are highlighted in green when available. The price for a single night is $349 plus tax. To confirm and book a single night, contact Balsam Ridge Forest Domes at hello@
Occupancy per dome is four guests (with one king and one queen bed), however a fifth can be added at the checkout at the time of booking for an additional $50 fee. This add-on is not eligible for Fun dome, as it already supports up to six guests (with one king and two double beds). We can accommodate the fifth guest with a playpen or a convenient folding twin-sized cot.
To add a fifth guest to your booking, please select the “Fifth Guest” option under our list of Extras. If you require more than five per dome, a second dome will need to be booked unless you’re booking the Fun dome. And don’t worry, if your fifth guest is a child under two years of age, they’re welcome to join at no additional cost – just let us know in the booking message area instead of booking the add-on.
Thank you for understanding our occupancy capacities.
Absolutely! We have extra large domes on our property to allow families to also unwind and relax in nature. All of our domes are very private and separate from each other and we have done our very best to keep every possible tree and fern for exploring!
We do get requests to rent all domes or multiple domes at a time and we are happy to do this whenever possible. Our guests tend to book well in advance so the farther out you reserve the better the chance of being able to secure your request.
We accept all major credit cards, debit, e-transfers, cash and Balsam Ridge Forest Domes Gift Cards (available on our website).
To make a payment to your existing booking please follow the link below and type in your booking number and last name. The rest is self explanatory once you are on that page.
Each dome is nestled in its own private haven. And the best part? Every dome has something special about its location that sets it apart from the rest. Want a bird’s-eye view? Try our Treehouse dome, perched high above the slope. Craving a stunning sunset? The Farmhouse dome overlooks the valley and farmers’ fields. For a touch of whimsy, the Adventure dome boasts a gorgeous old tree, complete with twinkling lights you can control right from your dome. While our domes are very private, we’d say the Mossy Log is the most secluded. To discover even more hidden surprises, check out our Resort Map and see the unique placement of each dome along the ridge, as well as our trails.
Four of our domes are priced differently than the others, this simply reflects extra amenities in these four domes. For example, The Anchor, Mossy Log and Arizona domes offer a luxurious sauna on their decks. Additionally, our Fun dome boasts an extra double bed and a huge indoor spiral slide. Please refer to our chart comparing amenities in all seven domes for an additional reference.
