Wow, back in lockdown! And things were just starting to look promising for travel! Thanks to the ongoing pandemic, the Ontario government is encouraging us to stay local again this year. As a result they have introduced the 2022 Ontario Staycation Tax Credit! (More about this credit to follow in another blog). Short version is that the government will reimburse you for travel within the province during the 2022 calendar year. This opens a world of staycation opportunities and I am excited to share with you 3 Dome Stays for your Staycation Tax Credit!
Dome City
Situated on the property of Haute Goat in Newtonville, Dome City offers a geodesic dome stay in “La Luna”. La Luna offers most of the comforts of home and despite being off grid we had an incredible time!
Located on @hautegoat ‘s property and just an hr from Toronto this is one you won’t want to miss!
Seeing the on-site alpacas, goats, horses and more were a bonus of our stay! (I can’t wait to share more about Haute Goat and the experiences they offer! )
