I surprised my husband with a birthday (and Valentine's Day) weekend getaway at Chad's dome house. Chad accommodated a request for an early arrival so we could start our relaxing weekend a bit sooner. The location is wonderful - tucked away in a secluded wooded area, you'd have no idea that you were only 2 minutes from I-94. The house is gorgeous - with all the wood and natural light from the many windows. The kitchen is open and spacious, and was lots of fun to cook in. The main bedroom provided some of the most comfortable night sleeps we'd had in awhile - the mattress and down comforter made you feel like you were sleeping on a cloud. A huge plus was being able to bring our dog with us - Chad even provided a dog bed for her. We normally let our dog cuddle with us on the couch at home (Chad asks that dogs stay off the furniture), but she was perfectly content curling up on the dog bed. We were a quick drive to Afton State Park, where we spent Sunday cross-country skiing. Chad also recommended Lake Elmo Park Reserve as a great place to ski but we were excited to use our recently purchased park pass that we went to Afton. The house isn't far from Woodbury, so access to a variety of grocery stores (Kowalski's, Lunds, and Target) was quite convenient. We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed our time at Chad's dome house. We loved watching the snow fall from the comforts of his home, and getting a chance to unplug for a bit (other than to watch Downton Abbey Sunday night). Thanks again for making our weekend so special - my husband loved it!
