You can escape to a Christmas-themed glass dome hidden in Alberta’s boreal forest

Christmas getaways don’t always have to mean booking a hotel or heading to the mountains. Tucked away near Winfield, Alta., is a 160-acre property that features a collection of geodomes and A-frame cabins decorated for the holiday season.

Glamp Good is bringing back its winter glamping experience for another year, with all of the accommodations decked out for Christmas.

Here’s a closer look at what to expect, how much it costs, and everything you should know before booking your stay.

What to expect at Glamp Good

What is Glamp Good?

Glamp Good is an off-grid glamping retreat with seven accommodations, including five geodomes and two A-frame cabins, all designed to offer guests a comfortable stay year-round.

Each accommodation has its own layout and personality, with options for couples, families, and small groups.

And despite being tucked away in the forest, the property has plenty of amenities, including Alberta’s first and only floating Nordic sauna, a heated showerhouse, and a cozy bookshop.

What is the winter glamping experience?

If you’re looking for a place to stay this winter, Glamp Good is hosting a festive winter glamping experience running until mid-January 2027. All seven of the properties have been decorated for the season, with Christmas trees and festive details throughout.

For the 2026 season, Glamp Good has also introduced a fully decorated, winter folktale-inspired stay inside its Alder Glass Geodome. Inside the geodome, you’ll find details inspired by classic Christmas tales, with whimsical decorations throughout.

How much does it cost to stay at Glamp Good?

Nightly rates at Glamp Good start at $295 for its geodomes, including the Tamarack, Aspen, Spruce, and Willow. If you want a little more space, the Hawthorn and Fern A-frame cabins start at $395 per night.

All bookings require a minimum two-night stay, making it a great spot if you’re looking to plan a full weekend getaway.

Looking to make your stay a little more special? Glamp Good also has add-on packages, including the S’mores Box for two or a Festive Baked Goods Tray, both of which will be waiting inside your accommodation when you arrive.

What else should I know before I go?

All seven accommodations at the retreat are winterized, insulated and heated with propane fireplaces, making them suitable for temperatures as low as -25°C. If temperatures happen to drop below that, the Glamp Good team will contact you and reschedule your stay.

Even though the accommodations are heated, you’ll still want to pack warm winter clothing, including jackets, layers, boots and gloves. You’ll also need to bring your own food, water and cooking supplies.

The property is pet-friendly and welcomes families with babies and children. However, if you’re travelling with a baby or young child during the cold weather, Glamp Good recommends booking one of its A-frame cabins.

Winter camping might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of a Christmas getaway, but Glamp Good has certainly found a way to make it appealing.

If you’re looking to book a stay, it’s worth reserving your dates sooner rather than later, as accommodations tend to book up quickly during the holiday season.
