If you’ve spent any time in Minnesota, you’ve probably been to the North Shore a time or two. It’s hard to resist this region of Minnesota, with its gorgeous state parks that feature rushing waterfalls, forests full of wildlife, and amazing views of Lake Superior. Camping, resorts, and cabin stays are popular ways to enjoy the North Shore. But there’s another, less commonplace to stay for your northern Minnesota getaway: a translucent dome Airbnb. If this unique experience sounds interesting to you, read on below to learn more.

In Tofte, Minnesota, there's a gorgeous geodesic dome near Lake Superior. With huge floor-to-ceiling windows across one side of the dome, it offers some truly spectacular views.

The dome is tucked away in a forested area near Lake Superior. While it is not on the lake, there are gorgeous views of Lake Superior from the property. If you get up early, you'll have an amazing vantage point for a Lake Superior sunrise!

There are plenty of places to enjoy the view around the dome. An seating area nearby offers a great place to relax or enjoy meals.

There's a closed seating area, too. This is a great place to enjoy the evening without being bothered by mosquitoes. Because this stay is remote, you'll have an amazing view of the stars!

The view continues inside the dome, where a large open space makes up the majority of the dome. A large bed, big enough to sleep two guests, faces the huge windows.

Nearby, a small seating area offers an additional place to relax. If you turn all the light out at night, you'll have another excellent vantage point for stargazing!

The downstairs also has a small kitchenette. It features a cooktop, a mini-fridge, a sink, and a microwave. There are also dishes and cookware for preparing meals. It's not the biggest kitchen, but it serves guests well with simple meals.

There's also a great, modern bathroom downstairs. There's a shower, a toilet, a sink, and just about everything you need. Despite your remote surroundings certainly won't be roughing it.

As we mentioned before, there is a downstairs to this dome, which means there is also an upstairs. A ladder leads to a loft area...

...where you'll find another large bed that can sleep two people. Smaller windows look outside, and the ceiling offers plenty of space to stand up. All in all, this is a wonderful getaway for anyone looking to try something different on the North Shore!
