☆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!

Other important details:
➤We have commodes, shower chairs, and bed railings available for those with limited mobility issues. Let us know in advance so we can get them for you.

➤We provide a pack-n-play and high chair for those with little ones! Let us know in advance so we can get it for you.

House looks small on outside but inside is spacious and nicely decorated. Neighborhood is quiet and near Silver Lake, which is a nice walk. House was clean and had everything needed for a comfortable stay.

The host was excellent and accomodating. We spent the weekend with a long time friend that is experiencing a difficult battle with cancer at the Mayo. The rental provided a comfortable worry free experience that provided an excellent central point for meeting up with others and providing access to local ammenties and attractions.

Very nice place and meet our family needs very well. Plenty of space to gather or spread out. The upstairs bedroom could be improved by adding a door between the room and the large attic/closet.

We had a blast in this amazing house. Lots of fun family games and meals. Thank you for the help keeping it a surprise for the youngster and allowing us to get things started before she knew anything.

We came to town to visit a family member at Mayo. The home was just as the listing stated. The house is beautiful and has so much room…more than we could even use. There were lots of supplies for us and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We only needed to contact host about adjusting the temperature and he quickly responded and gave us guidance on that. I would absolutely stay here again and suggest it to others as well. Five stars!

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.

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.

Stayed for four days at this 5 bedroom charming house in a quiet neighborhood conveniently located in town. The personal touches to the house were great and the owner was responsive to any questions we had both before check in and during our stay.

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.

Great layout for a family or multiple families/couples traveling together. We had two young children (1 and 2) and the house worked perfectly. The owner even dug up a second high chair for us. Highly recommend.

Lots of roomy bedrooms. Quiet neighborhood with very little traffic. Alex was very helpful and reached out to insure we had everything we needed.

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.
