About this property

8000 square foot GEODESIC DOMES - the most unique and magical vacation home EVER

****** Please note****** As we have made this a full time rental since we moved out, we have realized that this house is really PERFECT for families. WE DO NOT DO EVENTS OF ANY KIND.... PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT US IF YOU ARE NOT A FAMILY, a SUPER LOW KEY GROUP, OR CORPORATE GROUP........ NO hard feelings and thank you for understanding! :)****************

Guests are sure to enjoy a memorable vacation in this fully furnished, 6 bedroom/ 5 bath geodesic domes home sitting on an almost 2 acre lot. Words and pictures can hardly describe this truly magical home. The house itself is an absolute gem -truly a once in a lifetime home that the famous architect - Buckminster Fuller, himself - has actually been in before. An architectural dream that will make any old square house seem like a bore.

The yard and landscaping is unbeatable and includes frog ponds, waterfalls, streams and bridges. Many who come over, while they are sitting outside on the patio listening to the frogs croak and watching the willows blow in the breeze - tell me that the the last thing they would guess is that they are in a suburb of Minneapolis - rather that they are in a resort in the north woods.

The amazing part of the domes is that once you walk out of our hidden fortress, you come out to a city with all you could ever need and within a 5 minute walk you could find yourself sipping a refreshing slushy at Bryant Lake Regional State park which has a FREE fantastic beach, park, hiking trails, Frisbee Disc Golf and more! Rent a paddle boat or go hiking on the nature trails.....this park has it all.

Here is a link to Bryant Lake Park and its awesome amenities:

We also have bikes and electric scooters as a special add on if you would like!

Now onto the house!

Let me just start out by telling you that you haven't played the best game of hide n' seek until you've played in this house. Oh the nooks and crannies are so fascinating and fun! Again, the pictures just don't do it justice.

When you walk in the front door you are greeted with a view like no other. You see the curved wall, the beautiful kitchen and the window formation that will simply take your breath away. As you peek further you notice what appears to be the other dome and you just can't wait to go exploring! Don't forget your Harry Potter map, because you might just get lost! ;)

As you enter the kitchen you will soon realize that it is perfect for dining and it is equipped with everything you might need. It has a brand new Viking gas range, new dishwasher, new kitchen sink and faucets, new double oven and microwave, and a huge fridge. Seating for dining is located with the table in the kitchen itself, four barstools and the kitchen island or head over to our Italian- made glass table in the dining room.

If you feel like heading up the spiral staircase in dome 1 which you access from the living room (which is furnished with everything you would need including a 3 sided wood burning fireplace and all the wood you could ever ask for).... you will reach the Master suite.
The main/master bedroom has a nice temperpedic king sized bed and the bathroom has a large European soaking tub.

This home is full of love and life. Down in dome 2 we have a mother in law kitchen - full of board games and even a mini stage for talent shows and performances!

Guests can enjoy an afternoon of fun and relaxing by the waterfalls and streams (excludes winter) or perhaps enjoy yourself 3 season porch and listen to the frogs sing, feel the breeze come through.... it's truly a slice of heaven.

The home is also equipped with a work out room with an exercise bike, MIRROR, free weights, many mirrors and ballet and pull-up bars.

Play golf? Try to golf in our hallway putting green...... this place has it all. There's also 2 excellent public golf courses within a ten minute drive.

This house is perfect for families or company retreats. It offers tons of space to hang out, sleep, inside and out!

Here is the bedroom breakdown.

The master bedroom in dome 1 has a king size bed.

The other 5 bedrooms are in dome 2. The guest suite is the only bedroom on the main floor while all the other bedrooms are on the 3rd/upper floor. The guest suite has an attached bathroom with a shower. The other four bedrooms are above that guest suite.
The Tree Room has one queen bed. The Peony Room has one king and one full bed. The Bear Room has one queen and the Fairy Room as two queens. Each of these four bedrooms does have a loft that can hold more sleepers with airmatresses or just good old blankets and pillows for the kids.

The backyard has a tiki bar and dining set. Note: The pool you see in the pic is a man-made pond, NOT a swimming pool. The back acre has a large area for tents, chairs, a football game, group bonding activities, etc.

This house is a gem that's too good to just keep to ourselves. We want to share it with the world!


************IMPORTANT TO NOTE:************ One reason people are so drawn to this house is that it’s unique and FUN!!!! But with fun, comes risk... and if we all know we live in a world of liability, unfortunately. By us accepting your booking you are agreeing to one of our house rules and one of those rules includes signing our rental agreement and liability waiver. If we do not get this before you check in we will have the right to cancel your booking with no refunds so please read through them first before you book if you feel necessary:)

******* ONE MORE THING****** since the world has turned upside down since March 2020 if you make an instant book we do have the right to turn down any instant or regular bookings if we feel necessary. You will be asked to cancel your reservation with a full refund of course :).

Thank you for your understanding.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
