Home is wonderful and comfortable in every way. Location was perfect for us with access to Boulder, Longmont, Loveland, Berthoud and Ft. Collins. Huge windows make for incredible long-range views.
Wonderful unique home that makes for a perfect getaway. All was extremely clean and welcoming ... Thanks for a perfect way to vacation locally and see what Mead & Berthoud had to offer :)
What a wonderful place to stay. It was clean. Unique. Quiet. Had everything we needed plus some. My son and I loved the place and will stay there again when we take another trip out to CO
When 3 seasoned ladies need to gather, Turtle Dome gave us exactly what we needed. Beds wee comfortable, kitchen had all we needed in great condition and we really enjoyed the bunnies. Thank you for the wonderful candies, cheese pizza and great time
This place was AMAZING!! Defiantly top notch. This was such a unique place to stay. They left little goodies for us, which was so sweet. Owners were very responsive when I had questions. The kids thought the place was SUPER cool. They had everything we needed. I'm very appreciative to the have been able to stay there. I HIGHLY recommend staying at this turtle shell shaped little slice of Heavan.
We loved this house! It was very clean and we loved the turtle decor. The home was stocked with everything we needed from cooking to bug bites. The home is located on a dirt road surrounded my farms so you feel like your away from it all but just about 10 minutes away from shopping or walking in a park. We will definitely be returning here.
The house is AMAZING!!! So interesting and we discovered things about it everyday. Cozy, warm, so well made. Beds were so comfortable. Very clean and comfortable. Has everything you can need. They thought of everything. Little “welcome” touches. By far, the best airb&b we’ve ever stayed in!
The turtle dome home was amazing. The kids (7-10) counted 32 turtles - we added one! Excellently supplied kitchen and appliances. We will be back when it is a bit warmer. We saw the biggest snake I've ever seen, birds, rabbits, and a bald eagle.
We absolutely loved this place. The house was so clean, had an amazing view in the backyard. The kids even asked if we could buy a house just like it. If we ever pass through the area again, this is definitely the place we will stay.
Cool house in a great location. Very clean, with a huge fenced yard where our dog enjoyed spending time. We spent most of our time on the side patio. Close enough to shopping, but far enough away from it all.

Clean, spacious, comfy, well-appointed. We will definitely try to make a return stay.
We were in town early for the National Western Livestock Show and the place was a great stop. The hosts were very accommodating and answered questions immediately.
Short stay to watch my daughter graduate from CSU, and stayed in this lovely place nestled between Mead/Longmont/Beethoud. Comfortable beds, plenty of room for my adult boys and dog. Great stay! Hope to visit again!
Walking into the dome for the first time is breathtaking, we all instantly fell in love! With cows as backyard neighbors it made the trip more memorable as ever! One of my favorite parts was the view from the back porch!
The house was amazing!! Clean, had everything we needed! Not too far away from town, but gave us privacy. No close neighbors, no loud city noises or bright lights. Spacious backyard! Awesome kitchen! Bunnies and cows in the yard! And an awesome view of the RMNP!!
This was the best VRBO experience ever. Seamless, smooth, spotless, peaceful and absolutely delightful. We were in CO to visit CU and CSU - Berthoud was such a charming spot to stay. Adored the town. But this house - love love love. So many thoughtful touches in a unique and lovely spot. Convenient to Longmont, Boulder, Loveland, and Fort Collins.
You will not be disappointed if you stay here. It’s so lovely and peaceful. Lots of bunnies that hop around the yard all day which was adorable and fun for the kids. The beds are COMFY. I never sleep away from home and I slept great the whole time. All around great place and amazing hospitality from the host!
unique home located centrally for hitting both Denver and the Mountains
The Turtle Shell Dome is a unique place, which helps make the stay more memorable. It was about halfway between Denver and Rocky Mountain National Park, both of which we visited while staying at the Dome. The main bedroom and bathroom in the upstairs loft area are very open, and there is no sound isolation from the main living area if that's an issue for you, but otherwise it is a great family vacation spot.
We stayed at the turtle dome the week of my son's graduation from CU-Boulder. We wanted to stay somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of campus as that is not our vibe, and the turtle dome was perfect. It was peaceful and relaxing, clean and well-equipped with everything we needed and just a short drive for groceries, restaurants, and gas. The bird watching was amazing and the communication with the hosts and the little extra touches to make us feel welcome were above and beyond what I have seen in other VRBO listings. If my son lands in the Boulder area for work, we would absolutely love to stay at the turtle dome again!
