About this property

Skogvei Geodesic Dome with Nordic SAUNA, Boathouse & Private Lake access

Imagine being nestled in the woods lying in bed looking at the stars, wildlife and trees. We have created a sanctuary with winding trails to explore the16 acre property. There is a covered space with an area for grilling, sipping and sitting by the fire while you enjoy the outdoors. The wood is stacked and all the tools needed to build a fire, cook or just enjoy. The "outhouse" is nearby and the trail is lit up with solar lights. With just a 5 minute walk, you will have access to the original boathouse where you can relax, cook, read or just take a break from the sun or rain. The boathouse has running water, a refrigerator, stove and coffee making supplies. (Boathouse is only open in the summer months from May-October). The 94 acre lake is yours to explore with paddle boards, kayaks and a canoe if you choose. Or, just relax on the dock or sauna in either the wood fired sauna built with the wood from the property or the electric sauna in the lower boathouse.
To get to the boathouse & lake follow the road to the very end. You can drive or walk.
What we love most about the property: The privacy, trails through the woods, historic boathouse and the huge dock to relax and enjoy the sunrise and sunsets.

What guests love about the property : We are just 25 minutes to Duluth as well as the beautiful sounds and sighting of nature and wildlife, peaceful lake and plenty of quiet spaces for find a place to relax

The Dome includes: All dishes, utensils, towels, 5 gallons of water, cast iron skillet, water kettle, French press, gas grill, wood fired grill, flashlights, lanterns, fire wood & kindling are all included and are at the Dome site.

Magical!

An absolutely enchanting experience to be nestled in the woods for a cozy geodesic dome stay! We had everything we needed for a long weekend in nature. Shelia and Darrin were excellent hosts. We sauna'd, swam in the lake, paddle boarded, sipped coffee by the fire. We even were treated to Shelia's delicious cherry hand pies on our last morning. What a gift to get away, unplug, take in the gorgeous trees, wake to loon and other bird calls. Magical!

Amazing Stay in the Dome!

My wife and I had an absolutely incredible time during our stay at the Geodesic Dome! As nature lovers who value privacy, we found the secluded spot in the woods to be perfect. The setting allowed us to enjoy some beautiful bonfires and make great use of the outdoor grill, which added to the experience. Although we ran out of time to visit the sauna or boathouse, if they’re anything like the dome and as shown in the pictures, I’m sure they’re just as beautiful and well-maintained. The property manager was extremely nice and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique getaway!
