Homestays and Landsharing is a way to share Nature’s tranquility with others.” ― Pacific Domes


Dreaming Your Land Anew

If you’ve been exploring creative ways to generate additional income, you’ve landed in the right place to learn more about how a glamping dome can help pay your mortgage. Do you own land? Do you have an unused private backyard that would welcome a transformation? Why not dream your land anew?

Promoting the novel notion of homestays and landsharing is easier than you think. If you own unique recreational, farm or ranch land you can play an exciting role in unlocking outdoor nature experiences to urban travelers seeking safe havens.

Here’s what one enterprising couple has to say about working with Pacific Domes and Hipcamp: “We bought this very run-down 2.5 acres 12 years ago. We’ve spent these last 12 years being good stewards to the land and making it a beautiful oasis that we can share with outdoor lovers.”

The  16-ft ‘Aerie’ is another Pacific Dome nestled on a 30+ acre functioning homestead and retreat center  near the Bear Valley National Wildlife Refuge, Oregon. The Aerie dome is located next to a fire ring about 100 yards away from the Medicine Lodge, a communal bath house for guests to use.  The open upstairs is available and has been used as a music, yoga retreat space; and, to host other gatherings.

Hipcamp’s booking site facilitates in people’s love for the outdoors by pioneering the concept of homestays and landsharing. Private land owners can list their ranches, farms, vineyards and nature sanctuaries with Hipcamp – very similar to how Airbnb lists vacation rentals.

It’s a creative way to pay your land taxes

Hipcamp’s site lists upwards of 10,000 private campsites nationwide. Travelers can browse by location, accommodations, pricing and availability. Quashing common concerns that landowners have regarding risks, insurance, land stewardship and use, when you list your property with Hipcamp, you’re not only assured peace-of-mind – it’s a creative way to pay your land taxes, too.

Camping or Glamping?

Camping isn’t everyone’s cup-of-tea. For those that enjoy creature comforts, glamping is where innovative private landowners can offer alternative-lodging homestays with a value-added pricing edge!
