Hotel overview
Set in a remote spot near Monticello, The Domes offer a unique lodging experience featuring dome-shaped rooms with wide desert views.

The property prioritizes tranquility and privacy, ideal for travelers looking to unwind after exploring nearby attractions like Newspaper Rock and Canyonlands National Park. While on-site dining options aren't available, guests appreciate the peaceful setting and the opportunity to grill outdoors or visit local eateries in town.
Pet-owners will value the pet-friendly policy, making it a suitable stop for those traveling with animals.

What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I have stayed at a few different domes on this property and have enjoyed my experiences. The location is easy to get to from Monticello and then you can easily access amazing views, Newspaper Rock and Canyonlands. Dome #9 is my favorite with its glass windows, bathroom & shower inside and outdoor gas fire pit. Dome #7 is great for a family and friends with the loft sleeping area and included bathroom and shower. I had such a lovely and peaceful time when I stayed here over Thanksgiving. Interesting little stay in a hidden gem of an area. I would recommend!”
“We stayed in Dome 7 for 2 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beautiful expansive views during the day and amazing stargazing at night. The location is a beautiful drive to Canyonlands Needles district and a wonderful place to unwind after a long day of hiking. The grill was a great amenity which we used one night and the other night we ate at Doug’s steak and bbq which served delicious brisket and ribs.”
“Unforgettable Stay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an incredible time at Canyonlands Domes! The location was easy to find and the views were absolutely stunning! The bed was comfortable and our host was incredibly responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!”
“We stayed 3 nights in Done 7 and were sad to leave. The location is great for daytripping. Having spent the last 3 decades tent camping in the desert, my husband and I thought we'd see what it would be like having a comfy bed and shower at night. Absolute heaven. Property is remote enough that you have privacy, the view from bed at sunrise rivals the outside views at sunset. The bathroom was clean and water was hot. The bed was comfortable and the domes was plenty spacious. The window in dome 7 has some damaged areas, which could be expected in a south facing dome in the desert, but did not detract from the views, just something to know if booking #7 so there are no surprises. The small gas heater did the perfect job of warming things up after the sun went down and there is a fan vent in the roof that moves the air very well. It was so cozy and after a day in the desert, we were excited to get back to our dome home at night. We will be back!!”
“Dome 8 was absolutely amazing! Everything about this dome was wonderful. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and star gazing. It was so peaceful. We will definitely be coming back and letting all our friends and family know.”
