About this cabin rental

Welcome to The Pioneer! Our one-of-a-kind luxurious off-grid geodesic dome perched on a cliffside bluff overlooking the picturesque White River in Cotter, Arkansas, with VIEWS that stretch for miles all the way to Missouri! Escape to where modern luxury meets sustainable adventure with plenty of wow factor.

ABOUT THE SPACE:

Step out of your private geodesic dome onto the spacious 30'x30' deck and soak in breathtaking vista views from the cliff, overlooking the water, stretching all the way to Missouri. It is truly unbeatable, once-in-a-lifetime million dollar views to enjoy during all four seasons, for the special moments in your life when you need to getaway from it all to recharge, unwind, reconnect, or celebrate those precious life milestones.

Wake up to the mist rising from the river all around you, ready for a day out in nature making memories. When you're finished with a day on the water catching world class trout, relax above it all with a cold one and watch the sun set over the river.

Inside, you'll find a luxurious and cozy off-grid retreat offering all the amenities to complete your glamping dreams: comfortable foam queen size mattress, wool blankets, elegant chandelier powered by LED lights, conversation cards to light that spark of connection, and a French press for your morning coffee rituals.

Stay warm by the electric stove on chilly evenings or cool off with the AC unit during warmer days. Lounge the afternoon away in the suspended net and pillows on the deck, feeling weightless and let your cares wash away as you watch bald eagles soar below you, hearing nothing but the wind in the trees.

Our off-grid dome is equipped with a kitchenette, hot pot, hot plate, dishes and silverware, wine glasses, & ice chest, BBQ grill, COMPOSTING toilet, extra wool blankets, yoga mats. There is no shower or bathtub on the property.

We provide you with two luxurious bathrobes and slippers to enhance your relaxation.

Whether you're gazing at the starlit sky through the skylights, listening to assorted private collection of vinyl records on the Victrola, enjoying the ambience of a crackling bonfire in the fire pit, catching your record-breaking fish in the White River, boating down the misty river in the morning from the White Hole access point below, enjoying morning yoga outdoors as the sun rises, every moment is designed to create once-in-a-lifetime memories.

A generator, Jackery battery, solar panels, and extra Culligan water bottles ensure a seamless off-grid experience.

Very interesting off grid dome. Love the generator and outdoor shower with hot water. Nice setup. The AC and the heat were plenty for the dome in May. Great views and easy access to the river at Wildcat public Access.

The location is entirely off-grid, providing a beautiful view and a serene atmosphere in the middle of nowhere. The space is clean and cozy. I would only recommend it for the fall or winter. There is a portable air conditioner that you have to connect to a generator and add gas and start yourself. It took about 6-8 hours to cool down to upper 70s/low 80s during our visit. Please note that the shower water line/hose was not connected to the shower head, and there was overgrown grass/weeds on the path leading to the shower area. (Shown in photo, I’m 5’11 for height reference) Additionally, the bathroom is compostable only.There is a motion-activated security camera/light that went off all night due to bugs flying around. The absence of curtains didn’t bother us since we left at 5:30 AM before sun came up to go fishing for the day.
