The stay was excellent. The only recommendations, is to make sure that front entry is cleared of dust and spiders and also the back porch. And there should be a note to watch for the step when entering from the front door, I had tripped not seeing the step in the dark when entering the house. Overall the my stay was excellent.

Taliesen Weekend

We loved staying in this property on our Frank Lloyd Wright weekend! It’s a two hour drive from Taliesen, but really helped the weekend feel complete to stay in this spacious house that was right on theme. We loved all of the details and the kind host.

Beautiful property!

The house was beautiful, clean and had all the necessary supplies/dishes/etc. and the backyard porch was great for relaxing. Joan was very prompt in communications and arranged our temporary street parking passes, which was greatly appreciated! The location/neighborhood was convenient for going everywhere we wanted and we never had an issue finding a parking spot on the designated street. The only downside (the only teason we didnt give 5 stars) was that there was a lot of street noise at night (people driving by with car stereo volume cranked way up) which made falling asleep somewhat tough.

What a treat to stay in this historic house!

My two friends and I were on a Frank Lloyd Wright tour and were delighted to be able to stay in this house in the Burnham Block (six houses he designed) in Milwaukee. The house is spacious and the beds are comfortable. The two and a half bathrooms gave us privacy and were convenient. In the kitchen we found everything we needed for preparing meals. It is charming and a delight to stay in.

Nostalgic ambiance

Charming home with distinct and authentic vibe of FLW. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, lots of space to sit and chat. The only thing standing in the way of a 5-star rating is the lack of driveway and the noise of local traffic, otherwise a very special stay in Frank Lloyd Wright home.

Great to stay in a FLW house.

We had a wonderful stay in an incredibly beautiful historic home. Surprisingly comfortable considering the home is over 100 years old. It was nice to have the bedrooms upstairs and separated from the living spaces downstairs. The wood work and detailing is incredibly beautiful. Will stay again the next time we are in Milwaukee.

relaxing stay at FLLW house

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at this charming house. The home has been restored to be consistent with Frank Lloyd Wright's vision of architecture. You really get the experience of living in a FLLW designed home while still having enough amenities for a comfortable stay. There wasn't anything that we needed during our stay that wasn't provided. Joan was a great host and very responsive.
