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!!!

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.

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.

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.

Over the years, we’d visited a few Frank Lloyd Wright buildings - Wisconsin, MInnesota, Alabama and South Carolina. When we stumbled upon this listing in VRBO, it was an easy decision to stay!
The house is lovely. “Living” in the space- rather than passing thru- is certainly the next level experience.
Also enjoyed the lively neighborhood!
Definitely worth the visit and the adventure!

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.

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.

Beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright home... We were here for concert weekend and enjoyed our stay... The home is beautiful. We did not park but took Uber/Lyft everywhere. The beds are comfortable and the shower hot.. although the shower head is low ( I am over six feet tall.)& Shower head was at my chest. There is coffee maker but no Keurig. This is maybe something to consider (?) . Also the acquisition for the home key was interesting but the owner was quite helpful in helping us ascertain this . We would have loved a key code entrance lock ( just a thought 😉). The neighborhood is okay. However for the house and our needs it was perfect. Thanks for allowing us to stay .

A marvelous Wright home, in a modest Prairie style--restrained, elegant, lovely. Also, quite spacious. It could easily accommodate a very large group. (There were just two of us, though.) We spent two days and greatly enjoyed just ordering meals delivered and watching TV and reading and enjoying the space. The neighborhood isn't the greatest--I guess that's Milwaukee--but if you're going to see Johnson Wax and other Wright sites in the area, it's a cool experience to stay in one of his houses!

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.

Our group of FLW home enthusiasts made our 9th stop at the Burnham Block home. We are on a quest to stay in every FLW home that allows overnight stays for the public. This home was well cared for and had all the amenities we needed. Joan was a great host to make sure we were all set for our stay. We really appreciated all the furnishings tied to the theme of FLW. This home is one of several FLW homes built as part of the American Systems Built project. We also took the tour offered by the Burnham Block organization that is slowly renovating each one of them. Highly recommend this home.

We loved this place. It was wonderful staying in an architecturally interesting house—even the kids appreciated it, which was a bit unexpected. I never quite “got” why people are so obsessed with Frank Lloyd Wright but this house made me see the light. It’s very liveable—not architecture for architecture’s sake.
I thought the neighborhood was cute—it didn’t seem scary, as one reviewer mentioned, though it was below zero so we didn’t walk around much. We found a great restaurant nearby—Vientiane.

This was a great find when searching for a place to call home for a few days. We took so many pictures of the home and location. There is plenty to see, it is just like living in a museum. Thanks for a great experience!

This is a beautiful home, full of Frank Lloyd Wright features. Combined with lovely furnishings and a spacious kitchen, you will have a wonderful place to host family and friends. (Note that the quoted price is for just 2 people, so if your party is larger, you’ll pay $50 more per night per person.) The host was very responsive and flexible. We highly recommend this property!

It is difficult to overstate what an incredible value this is for anyone who wants to experience a stay in a historic Frank Lloyd Wright design. It is lovingly maintained and the transitions between original features and aesthetically consistent replicas seems very smooth. It felt like both a completely comfortable home to us and simultaneously very special and unique. Communication was easy, check-in and out very straightforward. Amenities were thoughtfully provided throughout. Bonus: the shower pressure is Seinfeld-level mythically powerful. We did not go to explore the neighborhood, we had business downtown and spent as much time living in the space as possible.
