Great FLW experience!
Communication with the property manager was excellent. Fabulous opportunity to experience a FLW home. The property could be challenging for seniors because there are no handrails associated with the steps in and outside the house.

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.

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 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.

Historic Location
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.

Home is in good condition. Very special due to its design. Could use some additional cleaning to remove dust and webs around doors and windows The hardware for the deck doors need repaired. Shelves or small tables in upstairs bathrooms would help. Easy to get where we wanted.

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.

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.

Historical Home
Really loved the house. Overall, we had a fantastic time. We are all big fans of FLW and were thrilled to be able to stay in one of his designs. Lots of delicious food and beer to sample and tons to do in downtown Milwaukee (Domes, Pabst Mansion house tour, Art Museum, Harley Davidson Museum, scenic river walk). Didn't love the neighborhood, was hoping that we could walk more places, but that wasn't the case. You will need to have a vehicle if you stay at this location. Point of contact with the property manager was initially difficult, it didn't appear as though she was receiving the messages I was sending through VRBO but that was sorted out and she was very communicative after arrival and through departure even notifying me that a pair of earrings had been left behind and mailing them to my sister. Couple drawbacks included the downstairs bathroom with a door that didn't fully close or latch. We invented a policy that if the trashcan was in front of the door, it was occupied. Not ideal. The washer worked fine, but we had issues keeping the dryer running which may have been our fault but resulted in air drying clothing. Again, not a huge issue, but inconvenient. There were also numerous cobwebs but overall the house was very clean. Tons of towels which was great.

Family Wedding in Milwaukee
The property is as advertised and was what we expected. Our stay was a little wonky, as we arrived right after there had been a significant roof drain issue that caused what appeared to be pretty serious water damage to ceilings and walls in a couple of rooms. The owners Joan and Steve clearly had been working frantically to get things habitable for our stay. They made us feel very welcome and things in the house worked fine, but in hindsight I wonder whether the delay to remediation caused by our stay was the best thing for the house in the long term. I hope everything works out okay because it is a very nice property and they are excellent hosts!

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.
