I have managed to take a few pics from a different perspective. Every time we come up here it's such a peaceful and fun trip. All the neighbors are nice and friendly. You will get a wave from everyone as you drive by or walk by. There are lots of birds including one of my favorites, blue Heron! They are always standing up on top of the docks standing nice and tall.

It was clean, spacious and welcoming to a great time together. The location on the island is perfect. A beautiful view of the lake, easy walking distance to the town. We did get passes for the pools at the Crews Nest next door, well worth the extra fee. Walk out the back door of the house and you are practically in the pool! The huge front porch was beyond relaxing and had plenty of comfortable chairs for us all to sit together. I was a little concerned about not have central air, but the units they provide in the house kept it cool in the house. We will be back again, no doubt!

It's not cheap, and know what you're getting into but this rental house opportunity for a Frank…read moreLloyd Wright house is amazing for those interested in architecture, history, and just a unique one-of-a-kind experience. Pretty much everything including the furniture is original FLW and lovingly cared for across only 2 owners over the past 70+ years. It's only a few minutes from downtown Ann Arbor and yet within the house it feels like you're in the middle of nowhere not only surrounded by nature but part of it. Plan to spend some significant time in the house if you're staying here, and watch the squirrels, chipmunks, and deer outside that are often right by the windows or will stare at you since you're kind of in their wilderness environment. There are of course quirks about the house and rules given the significance of this FLW "Usonian" house and the costs to maintain and/or repair anything that might have issues. If you're a FLW fan or just like unique experiences definitely check out this house that can be rented through AirBnB or VRBO. There are 7 FLW houses in the U.S. which are available to rent as far as I know, and I'm going to say this is likely the best. Bravo!

I was looking for unique accommodation in Ann Arbor (other than middle-of-the-road corporate…read morehotels, very hard to find), when I found this unique Frank Lloyd Wright-designed vacation rental on V.R.B.O. So, I decided to book it for a couple days over the Labour Day weekend. The property owners were very nice to us, and made sure we were set for our sojourn in Ann Arbor. Renting this home is not for everybody, that's for sure. You have to put up with F.L.W.'s eccentric designs, and just go with the flow, and see the beauty of this particular home. For, the beds are not rectangular, more triangular. The bathrooms are small, the doors narrow (Mr. & Mrs. Palmer were petite people, as was F.L.W.). Living and dining rooms are spacious, yet, feature F.L.W.'s signature (hard) custom furniture, not exactly comfortable as more modern furniture we're all used to by now. The kitchen is quite small, but, workable for the simplest self-catering - don't expect a Viking range! Remember, this is a 50's home, pretty much left 'as is' in that decade of design. To conclude, one really must love architecture and design in order to make the most out of a stay here. Do not rent this property thinking it will be luxurious and modern by 2000's standards, this will be a big disappointment for you.
