Long review to address previous concerns in one... place.We stayed at the Smokies domes in Cosby — Dome 4, The Interstellar. I read the reviews and was nervous, but here’s the real situation: it’s great!Tip from another reviewer that I agree with: while you still have signal on the main roads, screengrab your door code and WiFi info. It helped me text/email management when my door code didn’t match what I was given at check-in. Within 30 minutes it was resolved. This happens even at luxury resorts — it’s about how a company handles it, and they handled it well.I videoed the whole check-in and there were a couple of existing stains and a door that slides open on its own. I have dated, timestamped video in case any checkout charges come up, but I’m hopeful based on how great they’ve been. Stains happen with heavy turnover — THE PLACE IS VERY VERY VERY CLEAN.I was worried about the jacuzzi from other reviews — IT WAS CLEAN, water and seats included. Warm and peaceful.Bugs: almost none, just a tiny spider and an earwig near the tent seam. I’m terrified of bugs and it didn’t even make me flinch — INCREDIBLY CLEAN. Shower, toilet, fridge, kitchen — all clean.AC worked GREAT, plus a fan that worked great. Multiple heat sources too, though we didn’t need them in summer.I paid for the anniversary add-on — pricier than I’d normally do, but they did a lovely job: ice bucket, champagne, chocolate, glasses, fake rose petals in a heart on the bed, battery candles along a path, and real roses in a vase. Glad I did it once; wouldn’t repeat yearly.The dome rules were inconsistent across the site, portal, and check-in instructions, but matched the specific dome page on the website (AC, parking, etc.). The portal page is more informative than what you get at check-in — bookmark it.Staff were kind throughout booking, check-in, and helping us get in the doors. I’d come back in an instant. I’m a clean freak who hates germs — it was great. We’re not outdoorsy — it was great. We love comfortable temps — it was great.Come in open-minded and easygoing and you won’t be disappointed. Maybe other Stay Minty locations have issues, but these guys are aces. Well done!read more
