My siblings and I had a great stay at the Frank Lloyd Wright home. It was the perfect balance between authenticity and modern comforts with every amenity at hand. We’d definitely stay again.

Once in a lifetime opportunity to stay in a historic property designed by one of the world’s greatest architects. Very roomy, several sleeping areas, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a responsive, accessible host. Loved it.
Wonderful home for my sisters and I to gather and visit. Perfect dining area to sit and chat. Beds were comfortable. Shower was awesome. Glad we rented this home for our visit.
I have ALWAYS wanted to stay in a Frank Lloyd Wright house!
What a gorgeous home!
Joan was very accommodating.
We were there for a family wedding. Close to airport, close to downtown.
Loved it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
Our group was visiting from out of state with the intention of going to a Brewers game. As FLW enthusiasts, we were eager to stay at this property. Our group enjoyed the house tremendously. There was plenty of space to relax, as well as plenty to marvel over. We understood the lack of parking and that parking would be unique, but Joan made the process incredibly easy. Our only wish was that we had more time in the home! Thanks for a great visit!
We had an enjoyable stay at the property. There was a great Mexican restaurant within two blocks. Everything we needed was included. The only real issue for use there was only one small shower. There was a large soaking tub in the main bathroom.
This place has so much history and was amazing to see up close. The hosts were great to deal with and very responsive. Parking is plentiful and easy, just make sure to follow the odd/even schedule. The street can be noisy at times, and the front bedroom can pick up the noise, but it was not anything that kept me awake. We stayed with a group of friends, and everyone was comfortable. If you're attending an event at American Family Field, this is a great place to stay and catch a taxi, especially if you have a larger group.
Living in a Frank Lloyd Wright house and touring 19th Century buildings designed by our great great grandfather was a dream come true ……. Like a timemachine. A perfect restoration.
Building restoration in Milwaukee is a high art.
Nestled in a bustling Milwaukee neighborhood, this home is one of the 6 Frank Lloyd Wright Burnham block treasures from American System-Built between 1912-1916. The homeowners have made an adaptive reuse home transforming the original 2-family home into a single family dwelling that accommodates up to 9 people. While many FLW homes are restored and offer the ability to tour and imagine (like the neighboring Burnham block homes), being able to dwell within and experience the home at all times of the day and night allows a new level of appreciation for the detail and vision of FLW. The windows make the spaces with the changing light quality throughout the day. The creaks and sounds of the house with its original maple floors would’ve been much appreciated by any parent as a natural alert to teens hoping to sneak out.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommend taking the tour next door as well to see what the original layout was like.
Joan was an extremely responsive host even with our very late night arrival and early morning departure. The location is convenient—within a 15 min drive from almost everything. The parking is a bit confusing but Joan did a great job of explaining it and helped with getting the required street parking permits. For those who love architecture, this is a must. Highly recommend this unique experience.
