Originale Frank Lloyd Wright maison isolée avec Tea House

Do not stay here if……

If you stay here, I hope you can a) have an appreciation of good design and architecture. But if not, b) at least serve as a good steward in preserving this architectural gem. Mary Louise, the daughter of the Palmers states in the Palmer House book by Grant Hildebrand that she knew she “was living in a house where so much of it was really irreplaceable. There was always a standard of how to treat the house---higher than most and imposed by the house.” So, please do not stay here if you cannot treat the house with great care and respect.

It was a real delight to be able to experience one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian house by living in it for a few days. Sue and Gary are the parents of the current owner and greeted us upon arrival. They provided a tour of the house, as well as showed us any quirks (inherent in any home in its original condition) to ensure the comfort and ease of our stay.

The design and setting are incredible. A place for peaceful, quiet relaxation. As far as amenities, the kitchen was well outfitted, better than most rentals we have experienced. The double beds are, well, double, but since it was only my husband and I we had our own “rooms” so we each had plenty of sleeping space.

The tea house is a wonderful view out onto the expansive cultured landscape. The only thing was a bit of mustiness that I, with mold allergies, could not tolerate for long. Walking around the property on its many meandering paths allowed even closer inspection of the flora.

Absolutely do not miss this chance to experience a stay in what really is a museum. The Palmers clearly loved this house and maintained it in pristine condition to pass along to the current owner. And if you do not have an appreciation of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture, perhaps you will by the time you leave!

Everything exactly as stated. It was a thrill to stay in this Wright masterpiece.

We spent 2 nights with our traveling friends for a unique opportunity to stay in this beautiful home. Tour was interesting and stay was very nice.

This was an amazing and enlightening vacation! Gary gave a great tour and information about the house and the house and grounds themselves are FIVE star all the way around. We even had frequent deer visits! We also recommend eating at Paesano's Restaurant and Angelo's Restaurant. Easy to get to and the food is amazing! If you have a weekend with nothing planned and you are a Frank Lloyd Wright fan - this is an absolute bucket list!
