A couples’ getaway at Return To Roots can be simple: a dome of your own, a private hot tub and time to enjoy each other’s company. Our four themed domes sit on about thirty acres near Butler, Missouri. Choose the setting you like, leave some space in the schedule and build the weekend around what you both enjoy.
Choose your dome together
Wander Inn, Pop Culture Camp, 5 O’Clock Somewhere and The Fur Seasons each have their own theme. Every dome includes a king bed, additional loft sleeping space, a private bathroom, kitchenette, private hot tub and separate outdoor area. The Fur Seasons is the dog-friendly option; check the current booking terms if your dog is joining you.
Look through the actual dome photos and details before choosing. Part of the fun can be deciding which space feels most like your kind of weekend.
Make an evening of your private hot tub
Leave room for an unhurried evening at your dome. Bring comfortable clothes for afterwards and enjoy having your own hot tub and outdoor area. Follow the hot-tub instructions supplied for your stay and plan around the weather.
Your dome also has a fire pit. Bring the snacks you would like and follow current property instructions and any fire restrictions. A quiet conversation can be the whole plan; you do not need to fill every hour with an activity.
Plan a local date
If you want to go out, choose from the places listed in our Local Attractions guide. These are separate businesses and destinations, so check their current hours, visiting arrangements and route before making plans.
Dinner out: Browse Steiners Restaurant and Bar or The Alley Tavern, then check the current menu and opening information directly.
A winery visit: If that is your kind of afternoon, check Luna Umbra Winery for its current visiting options before setting out.
Time around town: Consider Historic Butler Square, or look through the guide for a coffee, bakery or shopping stop that appeals to you both.
An outdoor or history outing: Research Butler City Lake or Poplar Heights Living History Farm, and confirm current access and visiting information with the operator.
Choose one outing you are excited about and allow time to return to your dome. The attractions guide has more ideas if you want to compare options.
Keep breakfast and quiet time easy
Bring the ingredients or prepared food you want for a simple breakfast. Each dome has a kitchenette; check its equipment and refrigeration before planning meals. A slow morning together can be just as enjoyable as a day out.
Pack a favorite book, a small game or a few conversation prompts for time indoors. If you want a special setup or service, ask RTR in advance so you can plan from what is actually available.
Look up when the sky cooperates
A clear evening can be a lovely reason to spend a little longer outside. Bring layers and give your eyes time away from bright screens. Clouds, moonlight and conditions affect what you can see. Our stargazing article includes an owner photograph and GoPro time-lapse captured at RTR.
Invite three other couples for a shared weekend
For a getaway with friends, you can reserve all four domes. Each couple can have its own dome and private hot tub, with up to sixteen overnight guests total and a maximum of four per dome. Groups may gather outside between the domes and bring portable chairs and a folding table. There is no large furnished communal setup or large shared indoor or covered gathering space, so plan for the weather.
