The house is sheltered by a long broad hipped roof with deep overhangs. The cantilever extending over the terrace is the most dramatic feature of the house. The open interior is fitted with Wright-designed furniture and built-in cabinetry. The Palmer house exemplifies Wright's open, American organic architecture in which all parts are related to the whole and are linked to the environment in an adaptation of form to nature. In addition to the main house, there is a tea house located on the 2 acres of woodland surrounding the home. The Tea House includes a small kitchen and a bathroom. The Tea House is not available as a separate rental and is not available during the winter months. The Tea House is included with the rental of the Palmer House. During your stay, please enjoy complementary tea and coffee, high thread count sheets, feather and non-feather pillows and organic shampoo and conditioner. We are committed to greening the earth and only use organic cleaning products, hand soaps, dish detergent, and laundry soap. Please be advised that there is no air-conditioning. Because the floors are concrete, the roof blocks direct sun, and the house is surrounded by very large trees, the house stays relatively cool. Keywords: House

The property is gorgeous! The hosts were responsive, helpful and welcoming. Everything was perfect. It was an incredible opportunity and privilege to stay at the historic place.
Also, Ann Arbor is very close with places to eat and shop.

We are so grateful that Sue & Gary Cox (and their son) are able to make this masterpiece available to experience! It must be a very difficult task to keep it in almost original condition. The Tea House and the paths around the property (it’s on 3 lots) were an added bonus.
As a place to stay, you have to be able to make some minor compromises. Finding light switches and how to open some drawers and cabinets can be a challenge. The corridor, bedroom and bathroom entries are narrow. The beds are oddly shaped (truncated parallelograms?). There is internet, but no TV’s.
Highly recommended for anyone that wants to experience Frank Lloyd Wright’s genius (and quirks).

Having the opportunity to stay at this Frank Lloyd Wright property was so amazing! The house highlights so many Usonian elements, and we felt transported. The grounds are also beautiful. We enjoyed the tour when we arrived, and we had warm communication with the host the entire time. We will back to enjoy the home in another season!

We are Frank Lloyd Wright fans, and this house did not disappoint! It is such a unique experience to be able to stay in one of his homes and really take in all the features and details. Sue and Gary gave a lovely tour of the property when we checked in. This house is not kid friendly, it is a museum, but it was more than we could’ve imagined. It was only 2 of us staying here but there is plenty of space for more people, and the odd shaped beds really add to the homes charm! 10/10 would recommend!

For a Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiast, living in one of his works of art is an opportunity that doesn’t come along very often. Seize this opportunity! A masterfully built, beautifully kept home that is so quiet that it feels like a sanctuary! My soul was deeply touched and soothed. I can’t say enough…

We have visited many FLW properties, but this was our first stay in one. It was a unique chance to live the beauty and challenges of his design. The Great Room and the vistas were breathtaking; the kitchen surprisingly pleasant and functional. We will not be purchasing any parallelogram shaped beds any time soon, but appreciated how they fit into the bedrooms. The hosts provided a terrific tour upon arrival. A great experience!

Loved the Frank Llyod Wright house. What a wonderful experience it was to live for 2 1/2 days in this 1952 house. Despite the age, it was well maintained. The kitchen had every gadget available, from dishes to pots and pans, coffee maker, microwave, etc. Beautiful experience. Thank you.

Staying at The Palmer House was a once in a lifetime experience. Gary and Sue are amazing and knowledgeable hosts who give a wonderful tour at check in (watch for the trick with the utensil drawer). The home and tea house are exquisite with original furnishings and being able to stay in the home is magical. The views are even better than pictured on the secluded, wooded lot. After visiting many of Frank Lloyd Wright’s homes and buildings it was incredible to have time to appreciate the harmony of this home at our own pace.
5.0
The home and the property were pretty much what we were expecting. Learned a lot about F.L.W. and got to see many of those things first hand. Nice to get away from T.V. for a bit. The furnishings were not very comfortable, but the whole experience was very relaxing.

What a great experience. The palmer house allowed us to step away into a beautifully secluded area while being close enough to home to meet any emergency. We were able to relax and take a look at things from a different angle. The managers were very pleasant, informative and easy to communicate with while also giving us our privacy and freedom to move about.

Unique, genius design, serene setting. This was a quiet, relaxing getaway, close to home. It was dreamy to be able to live in the home even if it was for just a couple nights. The FLLW library and tea were an extra treat.

My husband, and three children (two in college, one in high school) enjoyed a weekend in this amazing Frank Lloyd Wright house to celebrate my 50th birthday. We were impressed how well preserved the house, fixtures, and furniture were. We also enjoyed reading the books and magazines in the house that feature and discuss FLW works, and the Palmer House specifically. Thanks for a great experience!

Staying at this FLW home was an incredibly special privilege. Perfect setting for my wife's 60th birthday with the family. So many cool nooks and crannies, original furniture, unbelievable details, and beautiful grounds to explore and relax in. Owners gave a great tour beforehand to set the stage and for the next two days we didn't want to leave. Home has everything you need, but Ann Arbor is close by, with so many great shops, bars and restaurants. Loved our stay at this living museum!

Staying at The Palmer House was a dream come true for my wife and I. For two days we got to immerse ourselves in the artistry of FLW for whom we have been longtime admirers. It was such a wonderful experience that we hated to leave.
