Frank Lloyd Wright Experience
Happily, we were able to check this off our bucket list. Loved the large bedroom and the stairway skylight. It was very interesting living in a home the way Wright designed it. Our hosts, Joan & Steve, were gracious and helpful.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. There was plenty of space for 6 adults. The kitchen was well modernized and stocked with many common tools. Many of the historic features of the home have been preserved.

Outstanding experience
Wonderful host, beautiful home with historic significance. We loved the relaxing atmosphere and comfort of the architecture and furniture. Short walk to a great restaurant made our evening even more enjoyable. We enjoyed entertaining a few couples in the spacious kitchen and the next day took short Uber rides exploring Milwaukee. Great location and experience. Our host was attentive, kind and helpful throughout! Thank you!!!

Always wanted to stay in a real FLW...dream came true! Best part was the light coming through the windows in the morning and the fall leaves, like living inside a photograph.
