About this property

One-of-a-kind dodecagonal retreat

A one-or-a-kind dodecagonal (12-sided) retreat perched above a forest ravine—where modern design meets woodland calm. Bathed in natural light and wrapped in decks, this vaulted-ceiling sanctuary blends Victorian charm with minimalist elegance. Though tucked in a quiet and safe neighborhood, it`s minutes from town. Whether you`re here to unplug, write, wander, or explore, The DodeCanopy offers a peaceful, unforgettable stay amid trees, sky, and stream.

The house is on two floors connected by an iron spiral staircase. The main bedroom, bathroom, and laundry room are downstairs. The open floor kitchen/dining/living room, sunroom (with one twin bed; NB: there are no blinds in the sunroom so bring a sleep mask if you need darkness to sleep there), one bedroom (with another twin bed), and one and a half bathrooms are upstairs. There is no TV but there is excellent WiFI so if you want to watch something, bring your own computer.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Such a cool spot in a cool town! Highly recommend very comfortable and great location. Best of both worlds feels like a cabin in the woods but you are close to a cute downtown with fun bars and things to do.

Our host was incredibly responsive and communicative. The house itself is a spotless, quiet, comfortable retreat. We loved the stunning views—we even saw deer in the yard! The location is perfectly balanced: situated right by a beautiful lake and trail, yet still a quick trip downtown. I highly recommend staying here!
