About this house rental

****** 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.

We stayed here for a few days for a team gathering and it was absolutely incredible. The place feels like you are living in a fantasy world, with hidden rooms, indoor slides, and every fun activity you can imagine. The host was super friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant as possible! When I mentioned that I was having trouble getting the firewood to catch, she had starter wood delivered to us! Even when I accidentally brought back one of their dishes, she wouldn't let me pay for it and was super nice. Would definitely come back again!

This fun property was the perfect combination of wide-open fun spaces for children and cozy quiet spaces for winding down. Fun ranged from Nana swinging grandkids in the morning to kids ziplining in the afternoon to everyone snuggling in the hidden movie theater before bedtime. The outstanding assortment of game areas, athletic spaces, and gathering areas was perfect for our 14-person family. For all the open space, the rooms were exceptionally quiet. While cousins were entertaining each other, adults relaxed on the decks or in the hot tub or in any of the many tranquil corners of the 8,000 SF home. Wished we had stayed there twice as long.

Such a nice home, unique, spacious. Our family had a wonderful time. The host is conscious of family vacation needs and has appointed this home accordingly. Good beds, linens, towels. Kitchen had lots of dishes, cooking equipment. Various outdoor spaces to relax. I cant say enough, we loved it!

The Double Domes was our home for a week during a friends get together. The property was super fun for the kids and adults alike and Sarah was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. The kids are already asking to come back!

We had 7 adults and 7 kids (ages 11-1) and everyone really enjoyed the trip! It was close enough to go everywhere we wanted to go, but at the same time there was enough space and things to do at the house that we didn’t need to do anything. The one thing you can’t account for is the communication with owner and this is easily the best communication we’ve ever had. Wonderful!

We had family from three states come to town for a family wedding. The age range was 9 to 79. There was something for everyone at the double domes. We had hotly contested ping pong tournaments, putting contests, walks in Bryant Park across the road, relaxing in the beautiful patio in back and of course the zip line! The house is well appointed. We had everything we needed. I would recommend the double domes for any family gathering.

We had such a wonderful time at the double dome house. Hide and seek is a must! We continued to find new adventures, rooms, quirks throughout our three night stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a unique stay!

Our extended family lives in multiple states, so we all traveled to the Double Dome house for a family vacation. We had a wonderful time. The grandchildren loved the swings, slides, zip line and trampoline! This house had something for everyone and great outdoor space. The kitchen was well stocked, plus the pots and pans were excellent which made cooking a breeze. A big thank you to Sarah and Simon for opening up this house for others to share. Have a glorious day.
