Dome Sweet Dome at Antietam. Relax, Naturally! Relax, Naturally!

**Please note that vaping, smoking, and pets are strictly prohibited indoors and outdoors on the entire property.**
Locally owned and operated, unique and comfortable, Antietam Dome is just 160 meters, a 10 minute walk, from C&O Canal National Historic Park at Antietam Creek.
Antietam National Battlefield is 4 miles. Harpers Ferry National Park and Shepherdstown within 10 miles. Creek and trail shuttles, bird and nature walks, extra firewood, mobility classes available. Ask about retreat center and day rates.
Enjoy glorious sunsets over the Potomac River, where it meets Antietam Creek. Start your day with a coffee or tea, as you watch sunrise over Elk Ridge. Naturalist Emily maintains the property for wildlife, native trees, shrubs and flowers surround the property.
Two queen beds with fresh linens, fluffy pillows, cozy blankets, and blackout curtains ensure restful sleep. The Great Room faces south, for passive solar heating and unmatched natural light. Local guide books reveal hidden history. The kitchen is new, equipped for cooking, including oil and spices. A LayZBoy recliner couch is in front of the E-fireplace. The 50-inch smart TV connects to your devices.
Hiking, biking, kayaking, birdwatching, or simply a peaceful retreat, this property offers a variety of activities. We use necessary disinfection, essential oils, mattress and pillow covers against bedbugs. No artificial fragrances.
Built in 2024 with sustainable methods, sited for maximum efficiency, the Dome is part of our ongoing ecological restoration project. We close by, and love the rich history and biodiversity here. Renting directly with locals, rather than platforms, keeps cash in the community. 😉
Enjoy the trails on the South slope, and the meadow. Our smaller building and meadow are used by our martial arts group. Ask about retreat pricing, we can recommend local caterers, and provide yoga mats, blocks, and foam rollers. Quiet retreats only, please. 🤫 All new construction, single level with wide doors & step-in shower. We have a Level 2 E-vehicle charger, and adapters. We have a shower bench, toilet riser, & suction-on shower handle. The property is low fragrance- we do not use stinky air fresheners, only essential oils, ion air filters, & fresh air. This property is equipped with smoke alarms & fire sprinklers. We use bedbug-proof mattress & pillow covers, for all our sakes!
The main room has a barrel ceiling with lots of natural light, showcasing Emily’s photography. French doors lead to an expansive patio with Solo Stove fire pit, surrounded by a native plant garden.

Loved the area. House was very clean and the host were very polite. The water has a very foul odor from the well, but that is not within the host control so everything else was excellent.

Emily and Chuck are fantastic hosts and the Dome was a great place to stay. Had come to finish riding the C&O canal trail, some hiking and visiting DC. The Dome is very quiet. Got to see hummingbirds visit their feeder multiple times and cardinals and purple finches coming to the seed feeder. Also got to see multiple deer, rabbits and butterflies. Woke up every morning to some very talkative birds. The dome had everything I needed, comfortable couch, bed, tv, desk, grill and a nice covered patio.And thanks to their hike recommendation, was fortunate enough to see an owl take flight three times while on a hike to Weverton Cliffs and a section of the Appilachian Trail out to the Ed Garvey. Can't and won't guarantee that everyone will be as lucky.

Our family of five were in town for a wedding right down the street at Greenhill Farms. It was the perfect location with beautiful viewa. The dome had so many extra amenities. We will be visiting again! Thank you Emily!!
