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.

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.

Wonderful stay at the double domes! Sarah was a wonderful host and there to answer any question. The kids had a BLAST exploring and playing inside - perfect to entertain even in the winter with snow on the ground. There was something for everyone. We would stay again!
We had a large group of eighteen with seven children. Plenty of room for sleeping. We all loved this place. Lots of fun activities available! Host was great and easy to work with.10/10! Would stay again.
The Double Domes provided the most unique, fun, and memorable backdrop for our family's annual reunion! The home offered non-stop entertainment for all ages, and we loved the location. Close to everything while feeling like we were a million miles away! Thank you for sharing this magical oasis with us!
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!
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!
The house is such a unique experience that everyone in our party absolutely adored. It's very clean, and everything is such a short drive away which was perfect for our group with children. Sarah was great with quick and helpful responses. We will definitely try and stay again if we're back in town.
We had a great stay at the Geo Dome house. Our kids loved the stage for putting on talent shows and they were big fans of the movie room. Adults loved that the kids stayed so entertained. The very short walk to Bryant Lake Park was an added bonus.

Ginny, thanks so much for the positive review! Wow:) . I’m so glad your group was able to stay and we would take you with open arms again someday! Thanks so much!
We loved discovering all the little touches and magical elements as our week long stay went on. It truly was perfect for families! The beds were super comfy, the variety of things to do around the property were plentiful and Sarah was a very communicative host. The short walk to the regional park was fun too- a great beach, trails for running and biking and disc golf.

House was awesome!! So much space for our group of 18..grandchildren had so much fun as did the adults! Sarah was nicest person ever ...took care of everything to make our stay the best ever. Definetely recommend this property!!
We loved our stay here. Both the indoor and outdoor spaces were magnificent. We enjoyed board games on the deck, badmitten and putting tournaments, and fires in the evening. We were lucky to have been greeted by Sarah, who was an exceptionally gracious host! Hope to visit this unique property again in the future!

Thank you so much for the review, Ellen! I’m so glad you had an awesome stay . It’s always such a bonus when I can meet the guests and it was such a nice treat to meet you and your group. I hope you all come back someday!
The property was fantastic. Tons of things to do for adults and kids. Plenty of room to spread out or get together for family games. Host was very responsive to our questions. Overall, we had an extremely enjoyable visit.
Sarah was an incredible host for our family. Our two kids had a blast wandering around the house/property. The water/stream outside was a hit, along with the small beach. Highly recommended, hope we can come back soon.

Kurt! Thanks so much for staying at The Double Domes and I’m super stoked to see you’re coming again in September! Can’t wait to have you all back:). We now have a zipline and a huge water slide in the back acre for the kids to enjoy as well!
We celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary with our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren between ages 3 and 81. Double Domes was perfect! Lots of room, lots to do, beautiful landscaping & patios.
What a perfect stay at the double domes! We brought six families (with eight toddlers and little kids!) together for a high school besties reunion and it was the perfect spot for it. Sarah was an absolute dream host, and it was such a relief to be working with a real person instead of a company. She was easy to reach, super kind and understanding about the inevitable chaos of that many little kids in one house, and just totally lovely. Can’t recommend highly enough!
We had the best trip to the two domes! Close walk to Bryant Lake, easy drive to see the Twins and downtown MSP and if you have any weather like we did on one day there is plenty to keep the kids happy and active at the house.
Home owner is super helpful and a supportive communicator. Highly recommend for families.
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!
So beautiful, and so much to enjoy! Our multi-generational family group has stayed in VRBOs from Silver Spring to Seattle. This was the best of them all.

Oh my, this is SUCH an incredible compliment to me. Wow. Thank you so much and thank you for being such great guests. It really makes me so happy knowing families have memories to last a lifetime. 🤗😘😘
We had a great stay at the double domes. It was my wife’s 40th birthday and we stayed with another family. Our kids (ages 7-10) played the whole time together and were in heaven. They played on the slides, zipline, put on plays, and loved the tree fort like lofts in the second dome bedrooms. Terrific place for a staycation with multiple families!
As we drove up to the house our kids squealed, “This is better than Christmas!” Our stay was memorable and magical and Sarah took care of every single detail big and small. We’ve rented dozens of rentals over the years and this is definitely our favorite!

Graham, thanks much for the awesome review! I haven’t heard that adorable quote before! How sweet! Better than Christmas. I love it. Hope to see you and your group again someday.
This place is everything you think it will be from the description, plus more. It's insane, in a good way. We had 12-14 people staying here and never felt crowded. If you have kids under the age of 12 they will LOVE this place.
We stayed with our four married children and six grand children, 16 people in total. While it was "base camp" for other activities, we had plenty to do just being in the home. Some facilities weren't even touched by us, as there was so much to do. It was a happy stay for all. We thoroughly enjoyed the house.
We gathered to celebrate the life of my mother. This house allowed all of her grandchildren and great grand children to stay in one place together. It was very special. So much for everyone to do and walking distance to the lake and park. My grandson didn’t want to leave. Owner was wonderful to work with. We hope to come back someday.
Unique home that is a great balance of convenience and endless fun
We rented this home with another family. Our tweens and teens became little kids again with all the entertainment and fun to be had. It was conveniently located, clean, comfortable and an overall great experience. Unique lot, home and fun with indoor putting, hidden theater, outdoor landscaping and activities. All asked to return again.
