Big Dipper 3BR/2BA Lakefront Dome: Hot Tub, Sunset, EV Charger, Lake Monticello

Welcome to Big Dipper — a resort-style glamping escape right on the water's edge of Lake Monticello in Jenkinsville, South Carolina, where your next family adventure is written in the stars!

Big Dipper is a lakefront geodome with 3 bedrooms, all with KING beds, 2 bathrooms, and a loft with two queens, with sunset views. It sleeps up to 10 guests.

STARGAZING, LIKE NOWHERE ELSE
Lake Monticello is relatively undeveloped, with very little lighting, so the stars are clearly visible at night — dark skies that would not be possible on a busy, developed lake. Sleep under the stars through the dome's skylight, and spend your evenings stargazing from inside the dome or out under the open sky.

YOUR DOME'S EXPERIENCE
- Floor-to-ceiling front glass for lake views from inside the dome
- Skylight for stargazing
- Full kitchen and living room
- Wood-burning stove
- TVs and high-speed internet
- Arcade games
- Large deck with a private hot tub
- Your own private beach area, right on the water's edge
- Your own kayaks
- Firepit
- Your own EV charger

Start your mornings on your private deck and in your private hot tub, and end your evenings there too, with the glass front open onto the lake. At your own private beach area, the water is calm, with gentle waves that feel more like beach waves lapping the shore — not choppy boat traffic.

Please note: your hot tub, beach area, and kayaks are private to Big Dipper. They are not shared with the other dome.

ORION'S COMMON AREA — SHARED
- Large, boat-sized playset
- Mini golf
- Giant chess and outdoor games
- Trampoline
- Putting green

The playground area (Orion's common area) and the dock area are shared amenities.

NEARBY
- Boat ramp access, 1.9 miles away
- Public park 2.1 miles away: tennis courts, fishing pier, picnic area, playground, baseball field

GOOD TO KNOW
- No jet skis or motorized water sports allowed on Lake Monticello
- Domes are currently pet-free

There's something for everyone on the property: Big Dipper is for large groups, Little Dipper is for families, and the Polaris stargazing tent, coming soon, will be for couples. The Polaris tent's structure is up, with its interior buildout underway over the next few months.

We hope to see you at Big Dipper on Lake Monticello soon!
