☆Dee Dee's Den: A Dharma Dwellings Parent Company☆

Centrally located near Silver Lake, less than 10 minutes to Mayo Clinic, this home is the largest entry in our Dharma Dwellings homes! Named after Grandma Dee Dee, this is where she stays when she visits the grandkids, but she isn't always in town, and wanted to offer the space to others who could use it while she isn't here! We have been blessed to host hundreds of guests, and work hard to ensure you have an relaxing and restorative experience with us at Dharma Dwellings!

About the Space:
➤Large open concept kitchen with Granite countertops, perfect for preparing a meal and sitting down for a family dinner. All the pots, pans, cooking oils, and spices you may need. Any amenities you could need including Coffee and tea. Please let us know if you find anything missing.

➤This home has the same initial layout as Oakley's Oasis and Poppy's Paradise next door, but has a bump out kitchen and large upstairs/basement bedrooms.

➤Five Spacious bedrooms (two queen bedrooms on the main, two upstairs (a king and a queen,) and one king downstairs), the size of the bedrooms are unique to most of the homes in town.

➤Large 65inch Roku 4k tv (with associated Netflix/ Amazon Prime account), Xbox 360, and an over the air antenna with 25 local HD channels provided.

➤This home has a unique backyard of rare plants sure to be a relaxing spot on a summer day! Enjoy lounging on the patio set and watching the many native species of birds and other wildlife that make this area their home. Eat a meal prepared on the Electric Grill.

➤Full service snow removal/ice melt to ensure you are able to get to your appointments.

➤ Located next door to both Oakley's Oasis and Poppy's Paradise. These three homes all in the same location provides us unparalleled ability to provide flexibility for your stay, should you need to extend based on Mayo testing or complications

Guest Access:
➤We give all you access to all of the home that is photographed. We ask if you can limit use of beds based on how many guests have booked.

➤Just a heads up that we have cameras on the front and back of the home, which ensure that no uninvited guests/thieves are on the premises. There are no cameras in the home.

➤$75 pet fee due to excess cleaning for hair! We ask you pick up the dog poop!

➤We may need to access the house based on any potential problems or necessary repairs, but will let you know!

Every year my friends and family travel for a week. We are Combat Veterans, ranging from the Vietnam War to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. This was the best house we have ever stayed in.

Great place for a staff retreat!
We booked this place for a 3-day staff retreat and it worked perfectly. Everyone had their own room, and there’s was plenty of space to both work and relax in the home. Great location and the hosts were excellent to work with.

Absolutely perfect
We really needed a relaxing place to stay while in town for a medical procedure and this home was perfect. So clean, peaceful, and well stocked with all the basics. The owners were very responsive to our communication. We would love to stay again in the future.

Dee dees den
My family raved about how well this home fitted our time in Rochester. There were a few things we had concerns about but they didn't impact our time there. Biggest issue: the 2nd from bottom step of deck stairs is loose (missing nails on one end) and therefore treacherous for using; the 18 month old with us had to be escorted either direction there, much to his chagrin but it also would not be safe for a disabled person. It would be great if there were more kitchen items: a small pot for cooking, a colander, some medium sized serving bowls, a tray? And a larger supply of hand- or small sized towels in the bathrooms would be great. But these are things to spoil us; as I said, we loved the place and are so glad we found it. Thanks

Nice place
This was a nice, clean house. It was as advertised and came fully equipped for our stay. It was within a couple miles of the Rochester Recreation center where my daughter competed in a state swim meet. This made it very convenient for us to stay and have space for all of her fans (grandmas and grandpa). We would stay again if we have other activities again in Rochester to attend in the future.

Dee Dee's Den
This was a great place to stay. We had to take our daughter from Denver to the Mayo Clinic unexpectedly and trying to find a place to stay in a state we had never been was very stressful. This home had all we needed to feel at home even though we were thousands of mile away. Property manager was wonderful and accommodating. Should we have to return to the Mayo Clinic I would definitely try to book this one again!

Delightful property. Very responsive owners. We were in for a family wedding.
We rented a year in advance. As our trip got closer I reached out to Alex and received a very prompt and very friendly response; they were all set & ready for us! Our check in information was also very prompt and very easy. We would definitely look at dharma’s dwellings for another trip to Rochester!
