Have stayed here multiple times. Always welcoming, spotlessly clean, and peaceful. This is a special home, lovingly cared for, and we appreciate that we can enjoy the home, the surrounding wooded property, and the beautiful area. The drives to nearby towns and state parks are an added bonus. Even our dog never wants to leave this place!

Perfect getaway!

I was looking for a place to stay near House On The Rock, and this property was perfect! Very clean and comfortable, while still rustic with lots of character. We'd definitely go back, especially to see the other seasons. As all the other reviews mention, it is so fun to watch the bird feeders!

Really enjoyed our stay. This cabin is lovely! The house feels incredibly cozy, but was also designed to be practical. The attention to detail in the decor really made this one of my favorite VRBO stays yet.

Peaceful and scenic retreat!

We had a lovely time at Phyllis's lovely cabin! I surprised my husband with a weekend trip here for his birthday and he was thrilled when we pulled into this beautiful property! It is very quiet, and so private. It was so fun to watch the birds and squirrels out on the deck. Our dog loved laying by the windows to watch :) So close to governor dodge state park and Spring Green! Thank you Phyllis for a wonderful stay.

Special Retreat

We have stayed her several times and always have a hard time leaving. When we step inside any tension just drains away and we feel so at home. You can just spend hours watching all the birds on the large deck as you sit by the large fireplace. We love cooking in the open kitchen with the grill right outside the door on the back deck.Phyllis has supplied this clean cabin with everything you could need.

Relaxing!

The house is in a great location if you want to relax and get away from it all. Super cozy and the fireplace was perfect for fall evenings. The deck is huge and comfortable. Several varieties of birds at the feeder to watch made it even more relaxing.

Serene space for weekend getaway

Beautiful house and property, we enjoyed our stay here! The birdfeeder, fireplace and skylights were some of our favorites. The kitchen has everything you need - we utilized the grill and stove to make a few meals. The space worked well for 2 couples. I recommend this property if you’re looking for something in the area, and we would definitely choose to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Phyllis Dyer

Host profile image
This property has been in our family since 1975 when Gene and Elizabeth Stirling bought 30 woodland acres and hired Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Frank Leach to build them this retirement/summer home. Elizabeth’s son Christopher, Phyllis’s husband, along with many local friends, helped with the construction. Once the house was completed Elizabeth filled it with furniture and décor from her world travels. Her grandchildren came from all over the country to spend their summers here. Christopher built his own family home on the property,
up the hill, in 1979.
Over the years four generations have lived in this house at different times- including a Taliesin tour guide, Spring Green General Store owners, an editor of the Home News and an American Players Theatre actor. In 2012 Phyllis moved in following Christopher’s passing. She and her son and his wife- an Interior Designer- did extensive renovations to the bathrooms, kitchen and floors.
And now Phyllis welcomes her own children and grandchildren who travel cross-country to spend time here every summer.
We hope you enjoy our treasured family retreat as much as we have over the years.
The Dyer Family
