About this property

☆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.

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.

Great location, even better host.

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.

Home away from home!

This was our first time using a Vrbo accommodation and I don’t think we will be returning to hotels if we can be guaranteed the same host. Our trip was a health-related one so proximity to Mayo and comfort was key for a family of four and one fur baby. Alex was always available and prompt to our queries. We felt valued as guests and overall very much at home. The property is huge (perfect for large families) and well maintained. Thankfully, our trip had a good outcome on all ends and are forever grateful to Alex and his team for supporting it.

Visiting family at Mayo

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!
