The Dome at North Star Cove

The Dome at North Star Cove glows at sunset.

Under a big Texas sky, the Dome at North Star Cove is an out-of-the-ordinary lodging that sits hilltop on a stretch of pristine Hill Country located just outside of Llano. If you are looking for a secluded place to stay, you just found it. 

Guests will be charmed by the daytime panoramic view, but the real show begins once the sun sinks below the horizon. You know the saying: “The stars at night are big and bright …” The striking, 700-square-foot geodesic dome accommodates four guests in rustic elegance on 26 private, gated acres.

The fully air-conditioned and heated dome is a cozy retreat year-round for couples or a memory-making adventure for a small family. The Dome at North Star Cove has one bedroom with a king-size bed and a queen-size sleeper sofa in the living room. The dome’s bathroom has a spa-like feel with a spacious shower with heat-dry functionality.

Guests are welcome to use the 220-volt outlet outside to plug in an EV charger at no additional fee.
