We had a wonderful stay at this historic home with our family. To be able to experience the craftsmanship from inside the home was a unique experience. Communication was great with owner. The place is no more than 15 minutes away from all the main Milwaukee sites. Street parking was easy. The house is located on a busy road so there is some louder street noises heard in the home.

Grant, I am so sorry that Milwaukee city police issue parking permits only on the day your parking start day, they do not issue it in advance. Even you asked in advance, we still have to wait to get it on the day you start parking. There options are: 1) one night, start today; 2) two nights, start today; 3) three nights, start today. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Truly a delightful and once-in-a-lifetime stay (unless I return to Milwaukee, in which case I definitely stay again). Host was clear and helpful on all details. We are grateful to sleep in the presence of greatness. It’s south of the main tourist locations of the city but all drives are short.

Step back in time with the detail and design of the 1910s/1920s home by Frank Lloyd Wright. My family enjoyed very much hanging out in the beautiful living room after a meal in the dining room with intricate furniture and walls/windows. We were only there through the weekend for the State Fair and the Irish Fest. Perfect location. Piano present was the star of the show for my kids who otherwise would have rather been on electronics. Thank you Joan.

The house is wonderful. Comfortable beds and furniture. Plenty of room. Parking was a bit awkward, but do-able. The only problem we had was the noisy street. Traffic is LOUD, I don't believe most cars had mufflers. And late late late into the night LOUD radios in cars up and down, over an over made sleeping difficult.Would stay again if in Milwaukee, but I'd buy earplugs. (maybe that could be an amemity in the front bedrooms!)

This was a great place to stay. The period details of the house were a lot of fun. In addition to those details, the kitchen was modernized and was easy to work in. The dining room and living room were great spaces for family holiday gatherings, and the bedrooms had plenty of space to put things.It was an interesting experience seeing tourists walking down the block, looking at the house and the others on the Burnham block — not something that’s happened to us before.The hosts were kind and communicative, and there was no problem checking in or out.We’d definitely stay here again.
