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.

Family reunion fun

This was a such a lovely house as a center of our reunion. We came from four states to MKE and it gave us a wonderful meeting place for the WI folk to visit. So much history. Also very convenient for all our city explorations.

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.

Unique properly and a wonderful stay

We had an incredible 3-day stay at this beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright home in Milwaukee. The architecture and design were stunning—truly a unique and memorable experience. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for our visit.We heavily used the kitchen during our stay, and it met all our needs. It was well-stocked, functional, and made it easy to prepare meals and enjoy time together in such a special setting.The host was exceptional—responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great stay. A small issue came up during our visit, and it was resolved quickly and professionally. We really appreciated the attentiveness and care.Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a special and seamless stay in Milwaukee. We’d definitely come back!

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.

Frank Lloyd House

We enjoyed our stay in this early FLW house. Clean and well kept. The owners were easy to communicate with. There is not much around the house of interest but it's convenient to downtown Milwaukee. Really nice to stay in a FLW house.

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.
