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!!!

Chance of a Lifetime
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.

FLW Burnham Bungalow
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.

The home was very interesting and had great architecture. Checking in was a little unorthodox but overall the trip was fantastic and we had a great time. We plan to go back soon.

Great stay at Frank Lloyd Wright home
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.
