Incredible Dome for a Romantic Escape at Splitrock Valley, California

Tucked into a quiet corner of Splitrock Valley, this offers sweeping views of Fallbrook’s countryside and a front-row seat to the night sky. This off-grid geodome invites you to reconnect with nature while enjoying simple comforts and a beautiful, open-air setting.



The 101-acre Splitrock Farm & Retreat features panoramic views stretching to the Pacific and Big Bear, plus miles of walking and biking trails, including the on-site Splitrock 5K. Just 3 miles away, the Santa Margarita River Trail Preserve — ranked the #1 trail in San Diego County — winds along one of the last free-flowing wild rivers in the region and is home to golden beavers, steelhead trout, and diverse plant life.



Inside the dome, you’ll find:



Queen-Sized Bed – With fresh linens and cozy pillows for restful sleep

Seating Area with a View – Two chairs arranged to take in the valley below

Bar Table with Two Chairs – Great for a casual meal or morning journaling

French Press & Basic Dishware – A bring-your-own-coffee setup with dishes and utensils provided

Wood Stove – For warmth and ambiance on cooler evenings

Two Bedside Tables – For convenient storage

Solar-Powered Lighting – Soft lighting to brighten the space after dark



Please note the property operates fully off-grid using solar power and battery storage. Power is limited and should be used mindfully throughout your stay. High-draw appliances such as hair dryers, heaters, and AC units will significantly reduce battery life and may not be sustainable, especially in the evenings once solar charging stops. A solar-powered system provides ambient light; we recommend bringing portable chargers for any electronics. Guests may also charge their electronics in the communal area.



Outside:



Outdoor Kitchen and Dishwashing Station – A shared space to prepare meals and clean up

Private Firepit Area – With seating for two, perfect for stargazing under clear skies



Guests also have access to the Oak Grove Communal Area, which includes games, fire pits, and a shared outdoor kitchen. On weekends, the Camp Shop inside the Oak Grove’s shipping container is open with firewood, snacks, and other basics.



Splitrock is surrounded by outdoor adventures, from the Santa Margarita River Trail and Santa Rosa Plateau to the wine country of nearby Temecula — all just a short drive away.



Ben started life in small town Texas, spending most free time building forts in the desert before his family moved to Costa Mesa, CA in 1987. Ben instantly fell in love with the ocean and all the best natural features of Southern California, always at the beach, building BMX jumps in the bluffs, or camping (esp. Joshua Tree). Ben's connection with nature and outdoor recreation was rooted early.



Despite remarkable career shifts from athletics (playing and coaching) to business (MBA and consulting) to academia (PhD and professor), Ben’s connection with nature drove him to create his own recreation and wellness retreat. Vetted through traveling to 72 countries and residing on 3 continents, overlanding 2,000+ mile treks across 5 continents, Ben experienced, lived, played, fed, and meditated with amazing people in the most amazing landscapes on earth. A global search ended with finding the perfect outdoor recreation and wellness paradise a mere 20 miles as the bird flies from his childhood home.



Ben’s experiences and connections taught him to value lifelong learning, exploration, fitness of the mind, body, and spirit, outdoor recreation, and triple bottom line (people-planet-profit) sustainability. These values bleed into Splitrock Farm and Retreat through Ben’s vision and hard work, where you’ll mostly find him building forts in paradise.
